Practice with Purpose: The 5 Pillars of Private Practice Success
Event Actions
Building a private practice, or elevating the one you’ve already begun, is an exciting, expansive journey.
But without the right foundation, it can quickly become a source of confusion, overwork, and misalignment. This seminar is designed to help therapists, regardless of where they are on their private practice journey, to move beyond surface-level strategies and into the heart of what makes a practice not only successful, but truly sustainable, joyful, and value-driven.
Led by Victoria Grinman, LCSW-R, PhD, a dual-licensed clinician with nearly 20 years in the field, and 12+in private practice, mentorship, and leadership, this seminar is rooted in real-world experience and a deeply human approach to building a private practice that works with you as you evolve.
In our time together, you’ll learn the five core pillars that serve as the foundation for a private practice that reflects who you are, what you stand for, and how you want to live and serve. This is about curating a business that feeds both your purpose and your life, not one that burns you out.
We’ll go beyond the logistics of branding, networking, and scheduling, and instead get to the real engine behind longevity: clarity. Because the truth is, it’s not the algorithm, your website font, or a perfectly worded elevator pitch that creates sustainability; it’s knowing who you are, what you offer, and how to make decisions that align with your evolving values.
This workshop will support you in crafting a practice that you want to wake up to every day. A practice that grows as you grow, and serves your clients with integrity, excellence, and heart.
You’ll walk away feeling empowered, confident, and more clear (and calm) about the journey you’re on, whether you’re just starting out or ready to reimagine what’s next.
