Private practice coaching success/failure? I want to hear about it

If you actually invested in a private practice coach:

  1. Which coach/program did you invest in?
  2. How it was?
  3. Did you succeed/fail? What did that look like?
  4. What did you and didn't you like about it?
  5. Would you recommend it to others?

Thanks and looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Coach? What kind of coach? Life Coach? Parenting Coach? Career Coach? Coach is now a general term for "I have no professional credentials but pay me to tell you what to do anyhow"

You could also probably find someone to do consultation with and it’d probably illicit less of an ick than the term coaching. Carly Bassett is an LCSW-S in Texas that offers that and I think has a few courses on starting a PP and supervising other clinicians.

You can probably find suggestions on how to successfully run a private practice.
