Program Details for The Business of Psychotherapy: Creating Your Ideal Practice

Next Program Begins on
July 16, 2008


PROGRAM TOPICS

Our program is broken into three four-month modules. To make sure you get a very solid foundation, everyone in our program starts out with:

Module One: Business and Marketing Fundamentals for Mental Health Practitioners.

After that, you can take either or both of our other two modules:

Module Two: Marketing to Your Local Community and

Module Three: Web Site Design and Online Marketing.

Each of these modules have been designed to include a comprehensive study and practical application of the most essential topics, skills and practices that we've found necessary to create a successful private practice. These topics include but are not limited to:

• Creating Your USP • The Eight Fundamental Laws of Service Marketing • Understanding The Only Three Ways to Grow your Business • The Lifetime Value of a Referral • Understanding and Implementing Risk Reversal • Eight Steps to Private Practice Success • Setting Your Fees • Winning the "Inner Game" of Private Practice • Implementing Standard Business Practices • Internet Marketing • Using Ezines for Laser Focused Target Marketing• Inventory of Opportunities • Pay Per Click Advertising (e.g. Google AdWords) • Business Planning • The Art and Science of Follow-up • Developing a Marketing Plan • Optimizing Your Referral Base: Referral Systems; Testimonials; Joint Ventures • Medical/Professional Referrals • Diversifying Your Referrals – Direct Mail; Lectures; Advertising; Display Ads • Getting Free Publicity via Public relations: TV, radio, print • Developing and Promoting Seminars and Workshops • Web site design • Web site promotion • Writing and Publishing a Book and other Information Products

In addition, we teach all program participants our proprietary Eight Steps to Private Practice Success, our unique eight-step system for organizing all of the most important concepts, elements and practices of private practice success. The entire program is broken down into three four-month modules.

PERSONAL COACHING/MENTORING

As clinicians, we've found that the best model for successful learning is a combination of:
1) studying essential concepts and methods that have been tested in the real world of practice; and

2) ongoing supervision with someone who's demonstrated an ability to successfully apply that knowledge, while you begin to apply the methods yourself.
We've learned that the same is true for business and marketing training: we all have places of resistance or difficulty in follow through that require the support and accountability that a supervisor or coach can supply. In fact, Jay Abraham - one of the world's most famous (and expensive) marketing consultants for small businesses - told us that he will no longer do any marketing seminars without a personal coaching component, because so few people are able to follow through and apply what they've learned, without consistent follow-up (and this is true even when people are paying $5,000 - $15,000 for a three day seminar with him).

So we know supervision is essential. That's why we've structured our program so that everyone has a Personal Coach or Mentor to provide support, feedback, guidance and accountability to help you make steady progress toward your ultimate practice goals. This ongoing personal attention is one of the unique features of our program that greatly increases your application of what you're learning. And focusing on implementation is one of the key strengths of our program. We know you're busy and that it can be difficult to implement new ideas and practices. But we also know that consistently working ON your business while working in it is the only thing that will create different results. That's why we also teach all participants the latest time management strategies as part of our program. We want to give you every opportunity to succeed.

To meet the diverse needs and learning styles of private practitioners, while participating in The Business of Psychotherapy: Creating Your Ideal Practice, you can customize your program to meet your unique practice needs.

In addition to the numerous forms of group support and resource sharing, all participants receive three different types of ongoing individual support and guidance.

The three types of support are:
  • written feedback on all assignments;

  • monthly individual telephone consultations;

  • unlimited email feedback on any question related to practice building.
  • Moreover, you can switch between types of support every month, depending on your needs. We know your needs change over time, so YOU decide HOW MUCH support, WHEN you need it.



    PROGRAM FEATURES

    During the first month of the program, all Business of Psychotherapy: Creating Your Ideal Practice participants:
  • Receive 4 - 6 articles on practice building, along with one application assignment every two weeks via email

  • Receive a free web site analysis of an existing web site or guidance in the most important criteria in setting up a successful new web site
