Welcome to The Psychotherapy Salon website.
Congratulations on your decision to focus on building and strengthening your private psychotherapy practice. The Salon is an interactive and collaborative experience designed to help you reach your goals.
The Psychotherapy Practice Development Salon is a unique, intimate small-group learning experience for therapists who are planning or have recently entered into private practice and want to learn the steps to making their practice successful.
Therapists with many years of experience also have found that the Salon experience helps them to build a more robust and profitable practice.
Pre-licensure and Post-licensure PhD, PsyD, LCSW, MFT and LPCC practitioners are welcomed.
During a four-session program designed to address the core business and clinical issues of building a practice, Salon members, along with a group of colleagues, will learn step-by-step the strategies and perspectives necessary for success. Because the Salon groups are small - no more than fifteen participants are admitted for any group - each Salon member receives individual attention and focused feedback on developing a unique practice model. Members also become alumni of an exceptional training experience and will enjoy close collegial as well as mutual referral relationships with other class members long after the Salon is no longer meeting.
The Salon meets once per week for four (4) weeks. There are two planned Salon sections, so pending full enrollment, you may choose the time most convenient for you: Saturdays mornings starting at 9am, or Saturday afternoons starting at 1:30pm.
Salon meetings last for three (3) hours and follow a designed curriculum while allowing time for free-flowing spontaneous discussion. The full cost for 12 hours of the Salon is $525.00 (less than $44 per hour!).
The Salon is co-led by Dr. Joy L. Johnson and Dr. John Nickens, who are experienced in both the business development and the clinical practice of psychotherapy. Please see the "About Us" tab on this website.
