This three hour workshop will introduce participants to what it takes to start and maintain a successful psychotherapy practice. Practice can be exciting and profitable, but at times can also be overwhelming or discouraging. There are ways to even out the experience in a continuous practice that can bring a deep satisfaction. Participants will deal with some questions about personal motivation or interest, as well as learn some of the ‘nuts and bolts’ pragmatics. These would include models of practice, insurance, office space, record keeping, risk management, fee setting, billing, marketing, and ethics. We intend this as an introduction to a complex process – any of the above topics could be a full workshop in its own right. The workshop is for recent graduates as well as for seasoned mental health professionals who want to move in a different direction in their careers.
The Continuing Education Program of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is pleased to bring you 33 workshops for the Fall 2007 Series. We believe these workshops that have been planned will prepare you for meeting the multiple needs of the individual, organizational and community clients that you are serving. We welcome your suggestions for future workshop topics or presenters that you would like to see us feature in future continuing education workshops, and thank you for your continued support of the program.
