This book details what every counselor needs to get started in their private practice. Some of the tips are outdated; however, the structure as a whole is relevant for today and guides new entrepreneurs with ease. Tips are laid out clear and easy to read with LOTS of information included!

What more can I say than the headline? This book is packed with A LOT of important information that one needs to consider before begining a practice and then showing you how to think about making your business plan. Then they take you to the next step and show you HOW.Very helpul indeed.

This book covers most questions I had about getting started in private practice. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to open a private practice in mental health therapy.

Helpful to someone strating out. Short on politics of health insurances and billing issues and time needed to do paper. GOOD BOOK most of which is available through National Counselor Association web page.

Great book, very informative for an early career psychologist like myself who is working on building a practice. Product was in good shape and arrived very quickly.

a useful book

I haven't had a chance to do more than skim, so far. I believe from what I have seen that is what I expected, as a basic "how to" manual.

Beneficial

Stout and Grand's book on private practice in the mental health professions has direct relevance and practical, realistic tips for consultants in private practice, and for those considering "hanging up a shingle." Good advice on calculating if you can actually afford it, step by step marketing techniques, and once you are there, sensible strategies for dealing with the ups and downs of going it alone. Highly recommended.

I'm only part way through this book, and as someone who doesn't know a heck of a lot about business, this book has ceretainly given me a lot to think about. The author presents the information in a matter-of-fact way that doesn't make me feel belittled for not being business saavy. It feels like a book that I will reference long after I have started by practice.
