My ‘Why’ Behind the 8-Week Course Booked and Balanced in Private Practice
By Khara Croswaite Brindle
As a private practice therapist, are you seeking to boost your business numbers? Or are you craving information that can set you up for success in the beginning stages of your private practice? There’s always the fear that your practice may flounder or fail, and that’s where the Booked and Balanced in Private Practice course comes in.
I’m Khara, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Financial Therapist. I am proud to facilitate the Booked and Balanced in Private Practice course, an 8 week interactive, online course for therapists who are looking to improve the business of their practice or are about to launch a private practice.
This course is the playbook every therapist should have when building a private practice.
Full of relevant content on marketing, ideal clients, financial health of your business, setting or raising your rates, contingency plans, and identifying supports along the way, this is a course for every private practice clinician! Here are two good reasons why you should consider taking the Booked and Balanced in Private Practice course.
Ending the Gatekeeping in the Mental Health Field
I hate gatekeeping. I dislike the prevalence of this experience in the mental health field, and I dislike that private practice business information isn’t found in every counseling program across the country. The holding of knowledge, the secrecy over sharing. The scarcity of it all. It’s one of my missions to make the business side of private practices more accessible to all.
I want to successfully combat noble poverty in order to help therapists believe at their core that they are good helpers and can make a good living. Without a course on the business side of private practice, how can therapists believe that to be true? It’d be like baking with a blindfold on, the ingredients are all there but you can’t actually see what you need to create something wonderful. Instead you’re fumbling, spilling, and might get burned in the process.
Accessible Business Consultation for Therapists
As someone who experienced leadership trauma early in my career, I wanted to offer the Booked and Balanced in Private Practice course from a place of abundance. To believe in its value for the early career as well as seasoned private practice therapists, but in an affordable way. Business consultation can be expensive, and to be able to offer this course as a more affordable option aligns with my values.
The Private Practice Course Therapists Actually Need
The content in Booked and Balanced in Private Practice was inspired from listening to aspiring therapists talk about working in private practices but lacking a full understanding of what that meant when it came to business. There were assumptions. And worries. The resulting confusion. So, I drafted the private practice content I’d wished I’d had going into my first job as a therapist, and that is the basis for this course today.
Now, I’m thinking expansively. How do I get this content into the hands of every therapist? By offering it online! With tons of handouts and resources! And by creating a safe, supportive community where clinicians can remain connected to one another well after their launch into private practice!
Will This Course Really Help?
How will you feel after taking this course? Energized. In the know. Open to the possibilities of running and sustaining your own business. However, my agenda isn’t to say private practice is for everyone. But, if that is your goal and path, then I can help.
So here we are rejecting the gatekeeping of information to give you the ingredients you want and need to fully thrive in your private practice, and you are getting it all with eight weeks of engaging conversations, consultation, content and resources.
