About this Event

The Business of Practice: Creating a Solid Practice

This workshop will help you build necessary professional business skills to design and manage a private practice. The workshop will focus on what is needed to set up and manage a private practice to address necessary resources and partnerships as well as building marketing principles and financial management into your practice. Instruction will be offered through an all-online format involving synchronous time and breakout sessions to give participants opportunities to engage and learn from others.

This course is suitable for psychologists starting their professional practices. (3rd & 4th year graduate students wanting to plan for the transition to private practice may also attend).


LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Identify challenges for transition to practice and be able to refine/modify practice goals.
  • Describe your ideal clients and connect that ideal to your values and baseline competencies.
  • Determine service offerings, necessary resources, and partnerships appropriate to recruit ideal clients.
  • Identify what is needed to set up a practice and to perform necessary activities for effective practice management.
  • Apply the principles of marketing to your vision of a professional practice-namely what can you start doing to market to your ideal clients.
  • Incorporate into your model of practice a way of forecasting revenue and expenses including addressing taxes.
