The leading practice resource for behavioral health providers since 1974

The key to a successful practice

(1) Work with managed care to the extent you must. ((2) Build a professionally satisfying and financially rewarding practice outside managed care constraints
Like most good strategies, this one is simple. It will, however, be difficult to pull off for many therapists. The staff of Psychotherapy Finances is totally dedicated to helping you succeed. And we have a game plan to accomplish that goal.

Access to the best source for practical ideas—successful therapists
The biggest potential waste of your time is reinventing the wheel. Our editors help you avoid that by spending most of their time seeking out therapists who are selling new services and finding more effective ways to sell traditional services.
Then we give you the benefit of their experience. What works, what doesn't, what additional training it takes, what problems to avoid. And we're not embarrassed to mention the "M" word. How much money do you charge? How much money do you make on that service?

Managed care information with a critical difference
Just because our new game plan is focusing on non-managed care and self-pay patients doesn't mean we'll be ignoring managed care. It's just that we'll be focusing on subjects that will pay off for you on the bottom line.

Managed Care Alerts
This is a monthly feature where our editors dig out openings on networks and report them to you. In a recent issue, we reported openings in the following 20 states: AL, AR, AZ, CA, DC, FL, GA, IL, LA, MA, MI, MO, MS, NY, OR, TN, PA, SC, TX, WI. And that's just one issue.

Surveys of fees and practice issues
For the past 25 years our extensive surveys of therapists in private practice have been a primary source of data for mental health professionals. Therapy fees, incomes of private practitioners, average number of sessions, etc., are broken down by profession and region. In recent surveys we've added managed care topics such as managed care company fees, and the influence of managed care on therapy practice. A new subscription entitles you to the current survey plus our next one.
