Often new clinicians are taught not to go into private practice or are actively discouraged by professors in their program. We are taught to “pay our dues” at CMH agencies. This leads to high rates of burnout and the myth that private practice is only for “seasoned” therapists.
-
You are not alone if you feel this way. Over 50% of clinicians report feeling burned out. While private practice is not the only solution to burnout, it is one solution that could be right for you. Private practice offers more autonomy, independence and flexibility that tradition mental health roles.
-
This is exactly why The Private Practice Lab is comprehensive. We will take you through the entire process of opening a practice and you get access to a practice building checklist that will help you keep track of your progress.
-
Often private practice courses or coaching is sold at a premium fee. This makes there a high bar to entry into the private practice world. It shouldn’t require four figure courses or coaching to learn something you should have already been taught in school. This is why we created The Private Practice to have a continuing education component. This makes your money invested go further. We are also reasonably priced and we offer a payment plan option to make the course extra accessible.
-
If you are curious about private practice this course is perfect for you. It will show you step-by-step what you need to do to start and market your practice, but also give you continuing education credits, so if you don’t take action on it right away or decide it isn’t for you, you will still walk away with some value for your time spent.
-
We all need to meet our continuing education requirements for the renewal period. If you want help figuring out if our course fits your state requirements check out our state-by-state directory here.

Want to determine if our courses meet your continuing education requirements? You can easily check by visiting our "State Requirements" page, where you can search either by your state or by your specific license type.
Currently, we hold approval from NBCC, though each state and license type has unique requirements. We always recommend double-checking with your state board, as regulations can change frequently. Generally, most LPC's (licensed professional counselors), MFT (marriage and family therapists) and LISW (licensed independent social workers) are able to take our courses for continuing education credit.
If you're interested in our CE courses, but we don't yet have approval from your licensing board, please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know!
We're committed to making our continuing education courses as accessible as possible.
