Great video. But is it multiply or divide for 10 x .5?

[@PrivatePracticeSkills]

Oh my goodness you are so right! ha! It is DIVIDE by, oh my! I will pin your comment to the top :)

It started out slowly then ramped up all of a sudden. Currently at capacity in 10 month. Your videos have been invaluable. Thank you 💕

I quess you simply cannot plan your clients ahead. Well, you can, but if you have them will depend on other things. Personally I have a waiting list for those who want to book an appointment, but I do not have free spots at the moment, so that keeps the flow. And I definetely arrange with a new client while confirming a contract, that we only can reach our goals if we commit for some time, e.g. 10 sessions and then we’ll see. All clients come back.

I'm currently a licensed social worker and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I don't start Graduate School until September and I'm enrolled in a three-year program, but your channel made me start my blog and own youtube channel! I can't wait to get started in private practice in 6ish years. SO much helpful information that I've never heard anyone talk about in my field. I've been binging your videos for the last couple of months and feel like I've gained so much valuable knowledge.

You are an incredible motivator. I am starting my first private practice and have been using you exclusively to build by base plan. I appreciate everything you do. Thank you

[@aliciagilbert1738]

Thank you so much for this video and information! I am building my practice and just when I started feeling like I was moving along to my ideal number of clients, three weekly clients wanted to decrease to EOW. It felt anxiety provoking since I was bringing in half of my household income. This makes me feel like I can take a breath and focus on a plan! Thanks as always, your videos are so helpful, fun and relatable!

Thanks for your content!

[@andie5788]

Hi, could you create a video or link me to one that discusses cybersecurity, professional liability and how much we should get coverage for? I am in the early stages of private practice and need help with all the coverage options. Thank you!

Do you have a video on how to make our site/facebook page as a private practitioner? I mean the content of the site, any tips on how to present ourselves there and so on? I am about to make my site and will be counselling online soon. I am wondering about what would be best and most effective to show on the site and where exactly to out it on it.

I write website copy and blogs for therapists. If you ever want help, please feel free to reach out.

I'm curious how much your courses could generalize to other businesses. I'm an undergrad and slowly working my way towards becoming a therapist, and I intend to go straight into private practice, most likely part-time. However, I'm in the early stages of starting up an entirely different business to give me more control over my schedule because I have bad ADHD and struggle to be functional as consistently as employers want me to be. I'm hoping I can turn it into a full-time income within the next year. I've been keeping your courses in the back of my mind as something to check out when I'm closer to grad school, but I wonder if there might be some valuable information in there about marketing and website building that could be useful to me now.
