Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private mental health practice is a vibrant, thriving, and financially rewarding profession. And yet many who consider pursuing this path are misled by falsehoods, or myths, about private practice that can result in costly mistakes - or avoidance of this fulfilling and worthwhile career path. There is no need to market my practice, clients will find me. I learned everything I need to know about private practice in graduate school. I don't need an attorney or a CPA. Self-care is for students. But there is, you didn't, you do, and no, it most certainly is not. In If You Build It They Will Come, Jeffrey Barnett and Jeffrey Zimmerman dismantle many common misconceptions (myths) relating to the preparation, management, and ethics of entering and running a successful private practice in the mental health professions. Grouped into thematic sections, misconceptions are addressed briefly and succinctly. In addition to sharing accurate information to refute each myth, the book provides vital information on how to be successful in private practice. The authors identify common pitfalls and challenges, offering specific and practical strategies to address and move beyond the myth. Each chapter concludes with recommended resources and readings. Blending decades of clinical experience with practical no-nonsense advice about running a practice, If You Build It They Will Come helps fill the gaps in practice development training. Trainees and recent graduates of programs in clinical psychology, social work, and counseling will benefit from this book's personal, candid, and optimistic approach.

Download or read book The Business of Neuropsychology written by Mark Barisa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this text is to provide an overview of basic business principles and how they can be used to enhance the stability and fiscal responsibility of neuropsychological practice. The principles discussed are are defined and information is provided to guide practical application of the concepts. The book is designed to benefit professionals at varying levels of practice regardless of their work setting, but focuses primarily on the issues related to neuropsychological practice. Graduate school catalogs and training program brochures reveal a broad array of educational opportunities designed to prepare future professionals for independent practice in neuropsychology. However, little is offered to prepare neuropsychologists for the business realities that await them in the workplace. The expectation that they will simply see patients and do quality clinical work is often in conflict with institutional goals of making money so that the doors can remain open. The result can be a cataclysmic "crash" when altruistic ideals meet capitalistic needs. The concepts of "cash is king" and "no margin, no mission" are foreign to most neuropsychologists until our own fiscal bottom line is affected. The Business of Neuropsychology also contains an overview of business "basics," such as budget and fiscal tracking, strategies for communicating with stakeholders in the business, front and back office flow and processes, billing, coding, marketing, referral relationship development, and staff growth and development. The Business of Neuropsychology is part of the Oxford AACN Workshop series.

Book excerpt: When I started thinking about making the leap from working for someone else to owning my own mental health private practice several years ago, I was terrified. I was worried I would never make enough money, afraid to give up the "security" of a "stable" income, and anxious at the thought of having to find my own clients and convince them that I was the therapist for them.I needed a guide - a nuts and bolts "How To" manual to give me the step-by-step path from where I was to where I wanted to be. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one. Don't get me wrong, I found tons of information, and a few really great books that told me I could do, that they had faith in me, and to think positive. But I needed more.I wasn't able to find everything I needed to get started in one convenient, handy-dandy location, so I struggled to pick it up along the way. I made plenty of mistakes, some fairly expensive, some pretty embarrassing.That's why I wrote this book. To help you avoid all that and to have an easier time along your journey from where you are to where you want to be.Are you ready to leave your current position as employee-therapist and start your own practice?Have you been thinking about leaving the "safety" and "security" of corporate community mental health to strike out on your own, but can't get past the fear, anxiety, and stress of making the move?Do you want to take the practice you currently have and increase your caseload through more effective marketing?Is it time to take a good honest look at our business practices and streamline them in order to give yourself more time and income?If you answered "YES!" to any of these questions, I wrote this book for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketing, office planning, networking, managed care, legal liability. These are probably not the words that encouraged your decision to pursue a career in the field of mental health.

Independent Practice for the Mental Health Professional, co-written by a veteran therapist and a therapist just beginning in her practice, offers the information needed to balance the demands of running a business along with being a therapist. Based on Joan Beigel and Ralph Earle's previous work, Successful Private Practice in the 1990s, this book offers specific tools for building a successful private practice for the next century. Independent Practice for the Mental Health Professional provides the reader with the experience and time-tested lessons of one author who has been in practice since 1971. At the same time, the co-author, who began her practice in May 1998, addresses the thoughts and concerns of those therapists soon to enter, or thinking about entering, private practice. In this book, readers will learn · the pros and cons of going solo or joining a group practice · the legal issues connected to running a private practice · how to market themselves as well as their practice · how to arrange physically their office, manage personnel, and collect fees · how to maintain a thriving practice in the age of managed care The authors provide worksheets and examples of successful planning for the growth of a practice. When combined with hard work and a business-minded attitude, these techniques can be a recipe for success. As a result, this book is a valuable resource for therapists thinking about entering private practice, and beginning and experienced therapists hoping to improve their own practice.

Download or read book The Business of Therapy How to Run a Successful Private Practice written by Pauline Hodson and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2012-09-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating a comfortable consulting room, grappling with the thorny question of money, finding clients, paperwork, legal issues, boundaries and confidentiality – Pauline Hodson analyses both the psychological and practical issues which need to be addressed when setting up a private practice. Once your practice is established it is important to be able to anticipate and think about situations that impinge on the therapy: illness, holidays, neighbours, pets and children, which if not paid attention to, can destroy the safe environment necessary for effective and sensitive work to take place. The Business of Therapy gives both detailed anecdotes and a jargon free overview of the theory and practice of the work of therapists. It is a much needed handbook for all those who work with clients in the privacy of a consulting room - and for all those who are curious about what therapy actually involves. This book is a valuable resource for psychotherapists and counsellors, for graduates setting up in private practice, for established practitioners and for those planning retirement. With a foreword by Susie Orbach. "Counsellors from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytical background will feel very at home with the contents. I found it a thoroughly enjoyable read; it actually made me laugh out loud on a couple of occasions." Therapy Today review, February 2013 "This book is a marvel! This book gives an engaging and practical insight into what is usually the very private world of private practice." Susanna Abse, CEO, The Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, London, UK "The book takes seriously the needs of therapists throughout their professional life - the need for developing support systems and care of the therapist’s well being, looking after their bodies as well as minds ... In the Foreword Susie Orbach describes the book as a gift to the profession and I agree." Oxford Psychotherapy Bulletin "Although addressed primarily to psychotherapists and counsellors, practically every page of this book applies equally to the practice of complementary medicine - acupuncture, osteopathy and so on - and it is essential reading for these practitioners." John Hamwee, Acupuncturist and author of Energy Medicine and Acupuncture for New Practitioners "This book gives me an intriguing, bird’s eye view from inside the room of how and why the process works." Lisa Jayne Bloomer, Lisa Jayne Art Studio, UK "Written with admirable concision and with the page-turning delights of a fine novel, this book will be a joy for seasoned colleagues, and a life-saver for students and for those newly qualified. The Business of Therapy: How to Succeed in Private Practice leaves all other contenders in the dust!" Professor Brett Kahr, Centre for Child Mental Health in London and Roehampton University, UK "I wish this marvellous book had come my way earlier. It’s an essential read for any therapeutic practitioner, but particularly for those in their first years in the profession or who are still in training. It’s a pleasure to recommend it." Carol Leader, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist (BPC and UKCP)
