[acb-hsp] Starting a private practice

[Donna Rose]

[acb-hsp] ACB-HSP Conference Call Reminder for February 13th, 2011Hi Jennifer,

I would suggest, if you will be starting your own business in the field of counseling or therapy, or whatever it is legally called in your profession, that you start out writing a very good business plan.  I once wrote a business plan and found out I couldn't afford to jump through all the licensing hoops our state had.  It was just a little resume writing business too.  The business plan is meant to have you do research so that you can find out about pitfalls and your competition and what not.  Some people never write one, but I have found them very helpful. 




Peace to you,
Donna Rose, LMSW

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

  My name is Jennifer Harnish and I  am a  clinical psychologist in the Boston area. I  am newly licensed although did my training a  dozen years ago before my kids were born and before doing my own vision rehab. I  am first hoping to connect with any Boston area therapists who are visually impaired. Also I  am open to hearing any tips for  starting a  private practice. 

  Also, have you found that the professional journals and texts are available in electronic formats? I  have found some books on Bookshare but am just beginning to renew memberships with APA and will be asking for their journals in electronic format.

  Thank you for any ideas you have to share and I  am hoping to attend the conference in July to meet many of you in person.   
  Jennifer Harnish
