Earning a master's degree in social work or mental health counseling prepares us for quite a bit, but starting and running a business isn't typically part of the curriculum! From insurance credentialing and marketing to managing the business side of practice, there's a lot to navigate beyond clinical work.
I started Ott Counseling as an individual private practice and eventually expanded it into a small group practice. There have certainly been some growing pains along the way, but I've also learned that with the right guidance and support, the process doesn't have to feel quite so overwhelming, isolating, or scary. Mentoring clinicians is one of my passions, and I'm excited to share what I've learned as a co-trainer while helping you explore whether private practice is the right fit for your professional goals.
I'll be joining Nicole E. Wolasz, LCSW-R, founder and owner of
Phoenix Therapy & Wellness, who has been leading this workshop for New York State therapists for years. Nicole brings extensive experience as a private practice owner, clinical consultant, and professional trainer. Together, we'll share practical guidance, real-world experiences, and helpful tools to navigate the process of starting your own practice.
Join us Tuesday, January 26, 2027, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST via Zoom!
We'll cover essential topics including CAQH, insurance panels, electronic health records, malpractice insurance, office space, marketing, billing, and managing the business side of private practice.
Whether you're just beginning to consider private practice or preparing to take the next step, this workshop is designed to help you make informed decisions and move forward with greater knowledge and confidence.
Cost: $110
