How to Create a Virtual Clinical Practice
Description: Have you been thinking about seeing clients from a distance? A virtual practice is more accessible than ever, and there are some important considerations that are commonly overlooked. In this class, I’ll share my top tips for practicing virtually after several years of working with clients exclusively via phone or Skype. We’ll cover everything from technology & tools to privacy considerations to the challenges of proper assessment when the client isn’t sitting in front of you.
We’ll also cover strategies for marketing your virtual practice, including free/inexpensive ways to build a professional website and how to reach clients in a way that honors the work that you do and draws in clients who are a good fit for your practice. Experienced virtual practitioners are invited to come and share ideas and resources as well.
