Books
Twelve Months to Your Ideal Private Practice is a great book when you are just starting out. Lynn Grodzki has a few different books on private practice. I actually used Building Your Own Private Practice when I started my practice. However, she has some new books and books available in paperback now too.
Be A Wealthy Therapist is the most recommended book about money and private practice. I found it very helpful in examining my own attitudes about money and private practice.
Get Clients Now was recommended to me when I sought consultation when I moved my private practice. It is not specific to therapy practices.
Book Yourself Solid is another book that is not specific to therapists but I picked it up on the recommendation of therapist I know online.
Navigating the Insurance Maze is the go to book about working with insurance in private practice.
The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner I used this many times starting out as a guide to treatment planning. There is also a version for Adolescent Treatment Planning and Child Treatment Planning.
