--Deborah Roth Ledley, PhD, psychologist and author
If you want a rewarding mental health career that works for you--where you both make a living and help improve others' lives--you must take a leadership role in your own career development. The Successful Therapist gives you the tools and strategies you need to plan and grow a successful career. Going beyond just dollar profits, this guide will help you define sucess in terms of what you value most in the field, then give you the entrepreneurial skills to best position yourself so you can realize those values and achieve your goals.
Drawing on the author's own experiences as well as interviews with numerous successful clinicians, this book very first offers a general road map for creating a successful career plan. It discusses:
* How to envision your career
* How to make choices and position yourself for success
* Business planning for yourself and your practice

The second part of this book provides information on alternative and non-traditional career paths for therapists. These include:
* Personal and executive coaching
* Business consulting
* Forensic psychology
* Clinical administration
* Writing and lecturing
* Careers in other fields
This savvy career guide--written by someone who's built her own successful career in and around mental health--is packed with helpful self-assessments, questionnaires, and real-life case studies. Whether you're just starting in practice, want to change careers, or want to further develop your current mental health practice, this is an inspiring and essential guide that will set you on the path to empowerment and success.

If you are a therapist needing help to develop a therapy practice, this is the book for you. It's tough building a practice these days. Things are way more competitive than they have ever been. Larina Kase's book is a good step-by-step analysis of what works. I recommend it highly and am going to use it with those therapists that I coach around practice development.

I have a private practice as well as a coaching business. I found this book full of excellent information and resources. I am now pursuing other business options as a result of reading this book. I have also purchased a number of Dr. Kase's ebooks, and have found them extremely helpful. She consistently gives you more than you pay for.
Rated by buyers -
This is a comprehensive guide to starting a private practice that does an exceptional job combining the broader concepts of successful practice building with ample details and user-friendly examples. I found it simple to implement Dr. Kase's recommendations and quickly saw positive results in my own practice.

I am part of a consultation group of early career psychologists and we regularly discuss issues related to starting and building a practice, marketing, developing a niche area, and issues related to the business of owning one's practice. This has book has been referenced numerous times by our group and has been so helpful and informative to us, particularly b/c these issues have not been taught in graduate school or in our training. I would not forge ahead in the field of psychology and in your career as a psychologist without looking at this book first.
