Check out this free replay of a recent panel discussion with Eric (therapist attorney), Liath (from Person Centered Tech), and Miranda (your private practice coach) to unpack the impact of terms on you, your clients, and your business.

Audits and Records Requests with Barbara Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

If you’re like many therapists, you freeze whenever you hear “audits” or “records requests” and dread the moment you have to sit down to write your clinical session progress notes.

But what if audits and records requests were simply a no-stress, regular part of being a private practice therapist?

For this episode of Starting a Counseling Practice, we’re joined by Barbara Griswold, LMFT, author of the must-read Navigating the Insurance Maze: The Therapist’s Complete Guide to Working with Insurance — And Whether You Should.

Miranda talks with Barbara about the inevitability of getting audited, whether you should fear audits (spoiler alert: usually not!), why it’s so important to have clear notes and take control of your billing, and a few reasons why therapists are so afraid of audits.

Check out the full episode today to get clearer on therapist audits and records requests! And sign up for the Audits and Records Requests training here: news.zynnyme.com/audits/

Healing Through Private Practice and Self-Pacing with Ariana May 08, 2023

Show notes

Going through a personal loss is difficult for anyone… but what if you’re also building a business at the same time?

For Ariana, the founder of Lloyd Collective, the process involved intentionally slow pacing (3-4 years of growing) and support from family members, friends, and a business mentor.

But with a self-paced approach and people to not only encourage but guide her along the journey, Ariana built a successful business AND did some healing along the way.

In this episode, Ariana shares her story of becoming a business owner in the midst of a divorce and raising her child, how community support was (and remains to be) essential to her well-being and the sustainability of her business, and how she values approaching private practice from an anti-oppressive lens.

Following Your Inner Compass in Private Practice with Jerry Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

How do you make decisions in private practice that allow you to grow and evolve your business from a place of authenticity? And how much time and space do you have for figuring out what you really want in your personal life and private practice?

For Jerry, discovering his path in private practice began with slowing down and listening to his body and mind — or, as he likes to call it, his inner compass. Jerry is a therapist in Columbia, MO, providing grief counseling and working with older adults and their caregivers.

Because having a successful business does NOT mean you have to follow all the latest marketing trends or be a highly social extrovert who’s always networking with other therapists and healing professionals. It’s about connecting with yourself and your clients in a way that’s authentic and natural — to you and to the people you support.

In this episode, Columbia, Missouri grief counseling therapist Jerry shares how he transitioned into a private practice therapist, how his understanding of what he could do as a business owner expanded with experience, the value of collaborative relationships, and how quiet reflection has directly impacted his Private Practice Success Story.
