Let’s be clear. The “finish line” in mental health treatment looks different for each and every client that entrusts us with their care. And, we know that when clients reach out for help, they really mean it! So why is it that clients sometimes drop out before they have reached their goals for therapy? We, as counselors, social workers and psychologists working in private practice, know that we have a gift to offer clients. We build rapport, create a gameplan, and then help clients through their journey of change. If you are struggling to retain clients past the first few sessions and are tired of watching them leave just as unfulfilled in the work as you are, then join us for a day long exploration of clinician leadership. You will leave with practice tools to implement immediately as well as a set of new friends and colleagues who are rooting for you in your own “practice of the practice."
