“Building Your Ideal Private Practice, 2nd Edition is an in-depth book that walks you, a non-businessperson therapist, through starting your own private practice. The book is quite thorough, as a business book for non-business people should be. It is broken into 3 parts, starting with a preparation section then jumping into topics like internet presence, customer retention and other business lessons. I feel this book fills a huge gap for people in this situation looking for assistance.”
from Josh McDonald, Lifehack.org

“As in the first edition of Building Your Ideal Private Practice, Lynn Grodzki excels in supporting and coaching therapists on the business side of their practices—only, this second edition does it even better! It packs in even more information than its predecessor, paying due attention to the social and market changes that have taken place over the past decade.”

“I found Building Your Ideal Private Practice, 2nd Edition, an inspiring, relevant, intelligent, and practical resource that had me excited about what I can do with my own private practice. . . this guide speaks to therapists in their own language. I would like to see this as compulsory reading for every graduating professional in our field—helping new clinicians avoid unnecessary confusion, pain, and even financial loss through the recognition that they are as much business people as they are healing professionals.”

“Building Your Ideal Private Practice, 2nd Edition, covers the essentials for therapists starting out in private practice. Chapter 1, The Blueprint, led me to reflect on the ideal practice, which is gratifying for both therapist and client. As the author explains, ‘Making money and making a difference can coexist in your practice.’ The book is filled with useful information and it is extremely well written.”
Milton Erickson Foundation Newsletter, Vol 35, No2, 2015.

Mentor in a Book
“I’m in the process of building a private practice as a mental health therapist, and Lynn’s information, ideas, and encouragement have been invaluable along the way. I love her real-life examples from other therapists which help make the ideas more concrete and accessible, and she is practical and insightful about the challenges faced in this process. Whenever I’m feeling discouraged, a few chapters of Lynn’s book are enough to get me motivated to try something new or keep my chin up. It feels like I’m talking to a great mentor!”
