Building Your Psychotherapy Practice
Five Wednesday Evenings at the New Center for Psychoanalysis
2041 Sawtelle Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90025
www.N-C-P.org 310.478.6541x10

7:30-9:00 PM
Cost $65 (or $15 per session)
Years of dedication produce the skills a clinician aspires to bring to the community. However, there is a bridge to cross between education and the business of independent practice. Graduate education often does not provide the multiple skills needed to develop, maintain and grow a successful practice in psychotherapy and/or psychoanalysis. This seminar will enable the dedicated clinician to practice in a manner that will be sustainable for both the professional and the patient/client/consumer.
Learning Objectives
· Responsibilities and ethics related to private practice
· Develop a practice identity within a community
· Define a practice population
· Assess a sustainable practice plan
· Outline personal life management and self-care skills that promote a therapeutic stance to protect the professional and the patient/client/consumer
· Insurance options to protect the professional and the patient/client/consumer
Moderator: Daniel E. Fast, M.D.
Format: Five Wednesday evening seminars, 7:30 - 9 PM at the New Center for Psychoanalysis. There will be presentation by experienced professionals as well as plenty of time for discussion of relevant issues by those attending. The cost is being held at a reasonable $65 for the series (or $15 per individual session) to encourage early-career professionals.
