Practice Consultation and Books

   

Running a professional practice can be a daunting task. There is so much that is not taught in a professional training program, yet essential to running an effective practice in a responsible manner.

I work with individual clinicians and group practices providing consultation, training and workshops on:

  • Clinical Issues
  • Creating and managing a practice
  • Developing a niche practice
  • Marketing
  • Dealing with partner issues (including compensation and conflict resolution)
  • Risk management and dealing with ethically challenging situations

For more information on the consultation I provide to mental health professionals please go to ThePracticeInstitute.com.

 

I also provide consultation and trainings to small and mid-sized businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and professional practices to help them deal with staff and management issues and conflict resolution. For more information please click here.
