Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs), and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) all go through extensive training so that they can help the community with mental health concerns. What they don’t learn in school is the business aspect of the field. After getting licensed, it can be overwhelming to open a practice and not have all the necessary information to start and maintain a business.

Anita Avedian, MFT, is well known for networking. Over the years, she has volunteered many hours helping therapists begin their practice. Anita came to the realization that there is a high demand for helping therapists open and maintain a private practice. Thus she added consulting to the many services she offers.

The consulting services to mental health professionals includes how to market a practice including networking strategies. Resources and helpful information on running a business is also reviewed. Finding the right office space, getting insurance, getting a business license, creating business cards and promotional items, and creating a slogan, are some of the items that can be of focus.

All of this can be overwhelming. You don’t have to go through the process of starting a business by yourself. Come learn some helpful strategies, become focused, and work on prioritizing the tasks necessary to get you started. Whether you would like support with opening your business or building your practice, seeking consulting for your specific needs can be beneficial.
