Next Level Practice
Next Level Practice | An Ecosystem for Starting and Growing a Private Practice
Get started now!
GET CLIENTS FASTER!
Starting a practice should be easy! Get training, community, and feedback to grow faster.
Next Level Practice is an industry-changing project to help counselors to start a private practice. Unlike many programs that are time-limited, or just an e-course, this brand new approach offers live and recorded trainings, small group accountability, and feedback. After interviewing new practice owners about what they need, we're launching Next Level Practice.
This cohort model grows with you. You have influence on what you need and we adjust to your stage of learning, request your invite today!
Does this sound like you? (These are quotes from actual interviews):
- MINDSET: "How do I stay up and running and have little risk? How do I change my mindset around success?"
- COSTS: "I know costs will come up and hit me in the face, I want to have a plan but I don’t know what costs are coming."
- RATES: "How much should I charge per session? How do I get customers and clients? How do you drum up business? I know websites help, technology tools, is the time now or later?"
- PURPOSE: "Am I growing this with purpose? Am I finding a blueprint to push myself? How big do I want to grow? I have ideas and I don't know how best to do them."
- NICHE: "How do I confidently identify a practice specialty or niche? I want to have a structured and accurate way of looking at what costs are going to be involved in starting up a private practice."
TRAINING
Get trainings on how to start and grow a practice. We will have live webinars and a library of trainings. The community will also help influence the next trainings, worksheets, and support.
GROUP ACCOUNTABIITY
Get placed in a regional group of 6-8 other practice owners that are at a similar phase. You will get monthly discussion items, homework, and support to build stronger outcomes.
FEEDBACK
The Practice of the Practice team will be offering feedback on a variety of items including: Psychology Today profiles, websites, and social media presence.
NOT READY YET?
We start cohorts every 1-3 months. During that time, the price drops to $88/month, but you have to be on the waitlist.
