Salon alumni express their personal view of this unique training experience.

"The Salon helped me to learn valuable information about the business side of private practice. John and Joy took a personal interest in each member of the Salon and helped us all grow in our clinical skills. I found it very helpful to get feedback from John and Joy about a variety of topics, including website content, how to market myself to different audiences, business choices around the set-up of a practice and complex ethical topics.  I also found that the networking between members was a great way to build my name as a clinician."

"As a therapist with several years of private practice experience, the Salon helped me to fine-tune my ability to run my business, and  to increase my awareness of critical issues that can affect a practice. There is detailed information in this Salon on how to start and develop a practice. You will get information that you are not aware that you need.  I realize  that I am a better therapist when I run my practice more efficiently.  Joy and John effectively share their vast store of knowledge and expertise while encouraging me reflect on how to use the information in the kind of practice I want to build.  I enjoyed the group dynamic as it provided the opportunity to hear both the creativity and challenges of other therapists. This is essential information that you will not acquire in any graduate program."

"The Psychotherapy Practice Develop Salon has been very instrumental in helping me build my practice.  The Marketing training and education on practice building, internet presence, and advertising proved invaluable for me.  I enjoyed the small group setting along which allowed personal attention to those attending along with a great opportunity to network.  The meetings were not only informative but fun!  I will definitely participate again in the future!"
