Building Your Ideal Private Practice: A Guide for Therapists and Other Healing Professionals,   ISBN:9780393703313

Customer Rating: 

This is a very well written book with a plethora of helpful information. Probably the most important concept addressed is the need for most therapists to switch to a business mindset. I'm still working on this myself. I appreciate that Lynn freqently gives different options on addressing different issues. Her awareness that one size does not fit all is well modeled in these examples. There are a number of exercises to help you craft your marketing message and evolve your business mindset. However, her
Twelve Months to Your Ideal Private Practice: A Workbook (which she uses for her teleclasses) offers more exercises and is more practical. Her ebook Private Practice SOS offers more updated suggestions and resources. (I recommend both of those books.) That said, I did get several ideas of things that I will further consider to augment my practice.

I am reading this cover to cover, completing the exercises and doing everything Lynn suggests. I'm loving it and see how it will help build my new social work private practice.

As a new counselor, I was looking for something that could instruct me in setting up a private practice and this was it. I also bought the workbook that goes with it. This book takes you through all the steps, beginning with identifying what you want, mission and vision statements and how you want your business to look and function...from a counselor's perspective. There are other books out there that tell you how to set up businesses, but this is from one counselor to another and the perspective makes all the difference. I recommend this book highly to anyone who is just starting out in practice or is seeking to expand their practice.

Godzki's book is an essential read for early career professionals entering the world of private practice.

This book is an outstanding selection of principles and ideas for every health care practice owner, not only for a therapist.

Invest the time it takes you to read this book back into your daily practice. If you get through this book in fifteen hours, and if you use just three ideas out of hundreds, and if each one idea saves you just 1/100th of your daily working time and effort--that will be a savings of 60 hours per year, or a net annual profit on time invested of 300%.

Do you know of any other investment that nets you 300% annually?
