ALYSSA’S PRIVATE PRACTICE STORY
Alyssa has always been a social worker at heart and fell into the world of Child Welfare Services early on her career. While she thought she would retire from CWS one day, little did she know where she would really be 10 years post college graduation.
After working in the public sector, she ultimately landed in both the non-profit and private practice settings as a mental health clinician.
Immediately after obtaining licensure, she and Anthony started a group private practice in California.
Alyssa called it crazy. Some called it brave. But, ask Anthony and he’ll tell you it was the obvious choice.
This was no easy task, but combine Alyssa’s professional experience with Anthony’s specialized expertise in the health industry plus his entrepreneurial mindset, and together they built and continue to run a successful group private practice.
TOP 5 TIPS FOR BUILDING YOUR PRIVATE PRACTICE
- Get your Business Mind right because being in Private Practice is, in fact, running a business.
- In any business model if your business does not make money, your business fails. Deal with whatever internal thoughts telling you, “We’re not in the business of making money” and that you should not charge full fee for your services. Your future self will thank you.
- Operating out of fear and uncertainty is your ultimate enemy.
- Working in your business is not the same as working on your business (hint: working on your business is key).
- Having a Coach from day one WILL make a difference.
