How to Make Your Private Practice More Sustainable

Friday, December 5, 2025 | 8:30am-11:30am CST | 3 CEUs | Hosted by WashU | Virtual | Register Here

With the ongoing mental health crisis in our country, the demand for therapy has never been higher. At the same time, burnout rates among clinicians are soaring and social workers are leaving the field at alarming rates. Most clinicians in private practice have had little to no guidance or education on how to structure or run their business, particularly in a way that aims to reduce feelings of burnout. In this workshop we will cover the basic principles and practical strategies for making your private practice more sustainable so you can continue your life changing work for years to come. This workshop is ideal for therapists who currently own their own private practice or those who are contemplating opening one in the future.
