The three-in-one package
‘What I [mean] are the three resources that I think Canadian counsellors need to start a private practice. From my experience, that is a workbook that tells you all about how to start an online Canadian private practice, a Canadian paperwork packet with consent forms … and scripts!’ – Julia Smith
My three-in-one package is a collection of three resources that every Canadian counsellor needs to start a private practice:
- A workbook that explains how to start an online Canadian private practice
- A Canadian paperwork packet with consent forms and practice policies
- Scripts! Phone and email templates so that you know what to say when people inquire about your services
‘[There are] so many different situations where you might not know what to say and having [these] scripts can make it so much easier to get your private practice going and make it professional.’ – Julia Smith
Why is it important?
‘When I started my private practice almost seven years ago, there weren’t any resources for Canadian counsellors. All of the resources were in the states, and a lot of what consultants in the states talk about doesn’t apply to Canadian counsellors.’ – Julia Smith
Additionally, purchasing resources from the United States is also more expensive due to the loonie being worth less in the US. As a new and upcoming private practice owner, you need to save money so that you can launch your practice as affordably as possible.
I wanted to create resources that would benefit new and existing Canadian counsellors because I know what the struggle feels like to have to figure things out on your own and how expensive it can be to start.
If I can help someone else avoid some of that unnecessary stress or hassle, then it’s a worthy cause to pursue!
‘I really wanted to create resources that were Canadian-focused as well as affordable. I also wanted to tailor resources to therapists like myself, that didn’t need a lot of help in doing things once I knew what I needed to do. I just needed the direction … and then I would just go out and do those things!’ – Julia Smith
So, if you like to get things done on your own and you want to save money doing it, this package is for you. I’ve been there, and I collected what I learned from my experience, and I’ve put it together so that you can start your Canadian private practice quickly and affordably!
The benefits
When you purchase the 3-in-1 Canadian Private Practice Startup Package, you will get everything for 50% off!
‘One of the reasons why I’m doing this is because I really want people to have all of those resources. I think the phone scripts, the email scripts,[the paperwork packet], and the workbook are all important factors in your private practice. I really want counsellors to be able to afford to purchase it all so that they can have the best start to their private practice!’ – Julia Smith
With the trilogy, you can get all three; the workbook, the paperwork packet, and the phone and email scripts, for $249 in your usual province – a total 50% discount of their usual price!
‘That’s it! That’s all you need. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on courses or subscriptions. All you need are these three items to start your private practice.’ – Julia Smith
