Description:
Creating and maintaining a private professional practice is not for the faint of heart or the lazy. A successful practice requires a constant interaction between the art of psychotherapy, smart business practices, and operation within the laws and regulations that protect consumers. The buck always stops with the private practitioner whenever a problem arises.
The smart private practice practitioner does everything they can to provide quality services AND protect their business from legal and/or ethical complaints and suits. These actions alone go a long way to ensure that you will be less likely to face future practice difficulties.
