Twenty years ago, a therapist could hang up a shingle, make some networking calls, and begin to create a steady stream of referrals. Since then, private practice has changed dramatically. Now therapists everywhere are struggling just to keep their practices going. 

The need has never been greater for sound business tools for building and marketing a therapy practice. 

How to Build a Thriving Fee-for-Service Practice is essential reading for newly licensed therapists, seasoned professionals, and others wanting to prepare practitioners for success.

How to Build a Thriving Fee-for-Service Practice guides you from your ideal practice vision through the "how-to" steps to succeed. You will learn that a private practice is, in effect, a small business. Chapters contain solid training to help you not only to survive, but also to thrive in a highly competitive market place. 

Essential materials and ideas include:

  • examples
  • worksheets
  • business forms
  • flow charts
  • paper and pen exercises

"Dr. Kolt's book should be required reading for every psychologist or therapist launching a practice. Built on a solid foundation of proven marketing techniques, she provides the reader with both the tools to build a niche market practice and the confidence to achieve success. This book is the course in building a practice--and a career in psychology--that most doctoral students never receive." --Judith E. N. Albino, Ph.D., President, California School of Professional Psychology

Coverage includes:

  • surveying the needs of one's community
  • capitalizing on unusual market niches
  • marketing ideas to build one's practice
  • creating brochures
  • widening one's scope and expertise through public speaking, seminars, workshops, and writing
  • analyzing financial data and projections
  • tracking client information
  • and more

Benefits to you:

  • Supplies tools for bypassing restrictions of managed care
  • Suitable for both newly licensed therapists as well as seasoned professionals
  • Written by a licensed therapist with over 19 years of experience in private practice
  • This book is a much-needed reference for mental health practitioners pursuing fee-for-service practice
  • Learn solid training to not only survive, but thrive, in private practice today
  • Go from your ideal practice vision through the "how-to" steps to succeed
  • Learn how to set realistic practice goals, and track your progress
  • Lean how to communicate the value of your services to the public
  • Learn how to give powerful workshops and speaking engagements and write effective community articles

Readership: Psychologists, MFT's, Social Workers, Counselors. Therapists looking to revitalize their practices. People who want to build a cash practice. Solo and group practitioners. Community health center and substance abuse programs. People wanting to transition out of agency work and into private practice. Those starting or relocating their practice. Health care consultants. Professors and teachers of psychotherapists.

"Changes in the health care delivery system have made it difficult for psychologists to practice ethically and autonomously. Nevertheless, like me, there are many experienced and new clinicians who see independent practice as the way in which they want to serve the public. Kolt's book provides all of us with useful and creative ways in which we can successfully meet the goal of a rewarding practice which meets the myriad needs of the American people." - Dorothy W. Cantor, Psy.D., Former President, American Psychological Association
