Are you interested in transitioning into private practice? Or are you already in private practice but looking for some tools to improve your practice?
A majority of counselors-in-training express a desire to eventually work in private practice. Data from several national surveys suggest that self-employed people are generally more satisfied with their work, but counselors aren’t known for their business skills, and it’s rare for a graduate degree program in counseling to provide much preparation for the rigors of managing a private practice. For many, the prospect of transitioning into private practice seems daunting and anxiety-provoking, raising questions such as: • How do I start a practice? • How do I build my caseload? • Should I work with insurance, and, if so, how? • How much should I charge for my services? Dr. Aaron Norton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy serving as Executive Director of the National Board of Forensic Evaluators, Adjunct Instructor at the University of South Florida, Southern Regional Director for the American Mental Health Counselors Association, and Past-President of the Florida Mental Health Counselors Association. He has nearly 20 years of clinical and forensic experience at Integrity Counseling, Inc., was awarded Mental Health Counselor of the Year by the American Mental Health Counselors Association and Counselor Educator of the Year by the Florida Mental Health Counselors Association in 2016, Researcher of the Year by Florida Mental Health Counselors Association in 2020, and has been published in several social science journals and professional magazines in clinical mental health counseling.
