Vision

The Practice Generator is a business development program for early career mental health professionals  who want to work in a private practice setting but are either struggling to get started or need additional support and guidance with the business, marketing, and administrative sides of running a private practice.  It is also for professionals who have worked in the field for a time and want the benefits of working in private practice but would rather leave the administrative headaches to someone else. 

The Practice Generator program is a hybrid between a group practice setting and a “post-post-doc” residency for the early career professional who recently became licensed and has sufficient clinical competency to conduct psychotherapy, but wants additional guidance on the business and administrative aspects of running a private practice.  In this way, the program is a gradual stepping stone that eases the transition between licensure or another job and opening your own independent private practice.  The program has no specific duration and is paced with your natural developmental progression.  Whenever a clinician feels they have learned enough and are ready to move on, they take their clientele with them. 

The program also has opportunities for licensed providers who have been struggling and want additional guidance and business mentoring as well as clinical supervision of their therapy if that is beneficial.  The program is also a group practice opportunity for experienced clinicians who would rather focus on clinical work and leave the administrative headaches to someone else.  

Who:

• PsyDs, PhDs, LicSW, and LMHC therapists are all welcome.  Associates are also welcome to apply!
• Therapists who recently graduated and want to start a private practice but need guidance and support on the business, marketing, and administrative aspects of running a practice.  
• Therapists who are struggling to build and maintain a thriving practice, that need help identifying their strengths, target an ideal population, or building their professional brand.
• Therapists who want to focus primarily on clinical work in the private practice setting and prefer to let someone else handle all the marketing, billing, credentialing, and other administrative headaches.

Benefits:

• Credentialing, insurance billing, and administrative work are handled by the practice. 
• Ability to see clients from various insurance panels where the practice is credentialed.
• Referrals from the clinic website, Psychology Today, and other marketing endeavors to fill your practice.
• Guidance on your personal marketing strategy and target population.  
• Regular supervision, case consultation, mentorship, and business coaching
• Branding Through Self-awareness and Personal Growth: building confidence by identifying your core strengths, leveraging personal and professional life experiences, and identifying your professional niche and/or client population.  
• Stay as long as you want.  If the day comes you would like to go fully private, your clientele is yours to keep.  

Costs: 

• A percentage of your revenue covers the training, mentoring, and business services.
• Some small additional expenses, such as additional advertising and rent that are paid by you.  
• If you wish to see clients in person, a reasonable fee helps cover rent for the office and equipment.
