Building, Growing, and Sustaining a Practice with Intention
Owning and operating a play therapy practice brings unique opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities. While much of our professional development focuses on clinical knowledge and therapeutic skills, less attention is given to the complexities of building, managing, and sustaining a successful practice.
The Play Therapy Practice Owners Consultation offers a supportive, collaborative space for play therapists who own or are developing their own practices. This webinar provides an opportunity to connect with colleagues who understand the unique intersection of clinical work, business ownership, professional leadership, and the responsibilities of running a practice.
Through facilitated consultation, shared experiences, discussion, and problem-solving, participants will have opportunities to explore the practical and professional dimensions of practice ownership. Topics may include developing and sustaining a practice, hiring and supporting employees, navigating ethical and professional responsibilities, managing the business side of clinical work, marketing and visibility, building referral relationships, developing services, and maintaining personal and professional well-being.
Recognizing that no two practices are exactly alike, the webinar will draw upon the collective knowledge and experiences of its members. Participants will be encouraged to bring questions, current challenges, ideas, and successes for collaborative exploration.
At its heart, this is about creating a community of professionals who can learn from one another, think together, and support one another in building practices that are both professionally meaningful and sustainable.
Who Should Attend:Play therapists who currently own, operate, or are in the process of developing a private practice or group practice. Participants at different stages of practice ownership are welcome.
Learning Objectives
Following participation in this consultation group, participants will be able to:
Identify at least three common challenges and opportunities associated with owning and operating a play therapy practice.
Examine business and operational considerations that influence the development, growth, and sustainability of a play therapy practice.
Identify strategies for navigating professional, ethical, and clinical responsibilities associated with practice ownership.
Evaluate approaches to hiring, supporting, and developing relationships with employees, contractors, and other professionals within a practice.
Develop strategies for strengthening professional visibility, referral relationships, and community connections.
Apply collaborative consultation and problem-solving approaches to current practice-related challenges and decisions.
Format: Facilitated consultation and discussion, incorporating participant-generated topics, shared experiences, and collaborative problem-solving.
This is a professional consultation and peer-learning opportunity, not a substitute for individual clinical supervision, legal consultation, or financial and business advising.
