I have her earlier book, "Building Your Ideal Private Practice," which I love. This workbook reviews some of that but goes much further and offers many new ideas and some cutting edge concepts. Its very useful for those of us in private practice who need marketing and business help from someone who has been there, done that. Lynn is a therapist and business coach, so she is in a perfect place to help the rest of us. I went to one of her workshops, and then got this workbook. This workbook is very well organized, takes you through a plan month by month, adds a lot of concepts. I especailly loved the last sections, that looked at a developmental model for understanding the evolution of your practice over time.

very useful in starting a new practice; because it is a workbook, you do not just "read" it. it requires you to think about what you want for your practice, set a plan, and make it work!

This workbook takes the licensed therapist through a structured examination of what s/he wants for his/her practice, what is and is not working, and how to reach his/her practice goals. While there are many good ideas in this book, it is important to remember that it is a workbook - i.e. you need to put pen to paper to best take advantage of all this great book has to offer. If you have a practice that is stalling, stagnant, or just not where you want it to be, this book will offer you the opportunity to gain insight as to what's going on and what changes to make. -Cris Walker Roskelley, MFT, Author of "On the Road to Becoming a Successful Marriage and Family Therapist: An Insider's Handbook From Graduate School Through Licensure... and Beyond!"

This was exactly what I needed. It gave me realistic expectations for how to get things rolling and on how to figure out the taxes in a business and how many clients are realistic for this type of business.

Once I had this info, it gave me a better starting point to go from. I now think that I will be able to get my business up to part-time to full-time practice.

I would recommend this book to healers and psychics as well. Since their work is closely linked to healing and will give you realistic expectation on how many clients you really can see in a week so you can reduce your chances of burn out.

I purchased this book as a companion to another book that Lynn Grodski wrote, Building Your Ideal Private Practice. I enjoyed the ability to brainstorm with this book, write things out and just put it all down on paper. I like workbooks anyway, but the author did an outstanding job on this one. What I liked about it most was that it came from a counseling perspective rather than a retail business or something else. The counseling perspective makes all the difference as it feels as though she is talking directly to you as a counselor. I recommend this book highly!

I'm reading both Lynn Grodzki's books together and doing the exercises, etc. It's easy reading, and simple to follow. I'm looking forward to seeing my practice evolve.

I am just starting a private practice and have found this book helpful in determining what I need to do along the way of starting and building my practice.

This workbook is comprehensive for clinicians who are interested in building their own private practice.

I received this as a thoughtful gift when ending a mental health internship and while I tried many of the things in the book, my path to my "ideal" private practice did not even remotely approach her rosy outlook. Get on insurance panels if you want clients; this ideal client stuff is really for people who already have their names out there. Don't waste your money unless you want to exist in the same ether-world she lives in.

This book is helpful for the emergent practioner. It encourages you to take all the necessary steps toward building a practice.
