The Practice Builder is designed for those eager to build or enhance their own coaching, educational, or wellness-based private practice. Learn how to structure sessions, manage time effectively, establish healthy boundaries, and understand the limits of confidentiality. Build tools for client engagement and motivation, explore the initial steps in marketing and Jane App (specific to online practice), and gain insight into billing and charting. Discover ways to share your specialized skills within your community to promote emotional health awareness and grow your professional practice.
Please Note: If you are looking to become a licensed psychotherapist or psychologist professional you may be interested in Trent’s degree in psychology.
Course Objectives:

- Maximize your investment by applying lessons and new skills within a developing coaching, teaching, and wellness landscape.
- Strengthen interpersonal skills, including assertiveness, conflict resolution, and creative problem-solving.
