Have you been “wanting to treat” private patients for years but always come up excuses why you can’t?

Learn to treat private clients "on the side"!
  • Scared to make a mistake
  • Not confident enough to market yourself
  • Unsure of how much to charge
  • Terrified of paying taxes


Nearly every SLP/OT/PT I’ve helped has said the same thing.

That is, until they read the step-by-step book that turns those fears around, for good.

 

In A Nutshell:
The Guide to Private Patients teaches you everything you need to know about the scary business stuff— including information about liability, documentation, taxes, marketing — to successfully treat your own private speech, occupational or physical therapy clients. Want it? See below.

Immediately after you purchase the eBook, an e-mail will be sent to you containing a PDF attachment for you to save on your computer and print out at your leisure.

“I am asked probably 3-4 times per year by parents and staff if I do private therapy, and have always said “no,” thinking it would be too much of a hassle, and feeling like I’m not aware enough of all that is involved; but now I feel like I can say  ”yes”  instead - what a great way to earn some additional income while doing what I really enjoy, and having some increased autonomy when it comes to making decisions about my clients and their treatment.”

- Megan P., Speech-Language Pathologist

Is The Guide to Private Patients right for me if…


…I’ve never treated privately?
Yes! I wrote this book with you in mind. When I first got started, there weren’t any resources available related to learning how to treat private patients- so I learned all I could and wrote a book about my experiences. The Guide to Private Patients covers all of the business aspects of learning to treat privately that you need to know. We’ve got tips, step-by-step guides, templates, worksheets, quizzes, etc.

…I only want to see one or two patients?
Yes! When I first started out I only saw one patient. Then I saw two. Then three. I became overwhelmed when I tried to see four – all while working my 32 hour “regular” job. This book is written for those who are not looking to leave a job, but supplement their full or part-time work by treating a few patients “on the side.”

…I want to open (or already have) a free standing private practice
Maybe not. While I have had a few people buy my book who were looking to start full-blown free standing private practices, this is not my intended audience. There are many more factors that go into having a free standing practice: renting space, dealing with business insurance, hiring employees, etc. that most clinicians who are just looking to treat a few patients don’t need to know about. Having said that, plenty of the information in the book would be applicable to those with a free standing private practice- but on a smaller scale. I don’t have a free standing private practice and would not claim to be an expert in that area. There are people who have written books about opening a full private practice. You might be better off buying their book 

I have only had two people return my book. Both were owners of free standing private practices. One had been open for 15 years, the other for 25 years. Neither were the intended audience for this book- which they didn’t realize prior to purchasing. I returned their money, no questions asked and no hard feelings on either side. In fact, both have referred other colleagues to this site.

Here’s to your private patient success!
