Description
Unfortunately, many graduate counseling programs are void of any formal business training. This often leaves many future (and current!) private practice owners at a deficit! Additionally, there is an overload of information available which sometimes makes it difficult to discern the accuracy. Furthermore, there is sometimes a disconnect between what we know and what we actually do! This module is designed to be a hands-on training that participants will leave with having the 5 basic components of beginning their private practice endeavors.*It is highly encouraged that participants complete the training in its entirety before the start of operations!
