Launching a Thriving and Sustainable Therapy Practice

Do you feel called to branch out and build something to be a force for positive change in the world? Does the traditional therapy practice leave you feeling unsatisfied?

  • Identify your purpose and passion as a new therapist or in building a new practice
  • Be introduced to a variety of business models used by therapy practices
  • Discuss sustainability and viability factors in building a new practice
  • Identify and increase your confidence in claiming your area(s) of expertise

About the workshop:

Being a skilled therapist does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with the skills and knowledge to build a sustainable business model.
