Essential tool!
Howard’s book is truly an “essential” tool for any mental health professional! I am a clinical psychologist with 15+ years of experience, looking to expand and diversify my practice. This book combines the business tools, combined with necessary good common sense and ethical standards. The author’s inclusion of personal experience of the ups and downs in his own career makes it relatable and enjoyable to read!

Definitely Essential!
In “Private Practice Essentials,” Howard Baumgarten, LPC, gives all therapists—rookies and veterans—thorough information to build a better, more secure business. He generously provides lessons from his own experience, along with useful guidelines in just about every facet of professional practice management. And Howard doesn’t forget the mental health of his own readers, emphasizing the need to maintain a healthy balance in the therapist’s personal life. This book could have been titled, “Everything You Need To Know About Private Practice, But Won’t Learn in Graduate School.
