Practice Guide
Know what to do next. Practice with Confidence.
A practical, step-by-step guide for clinicians navigating insurance, CPT codes, insurance compliance, prior authorizations, and business decisions - all without the overwhelm.
You’re ready to go out on your own, open your own business, but you don’t know where to start.
You’re unsure about taking insurance - and you want to understand the real pros and cons, not just the horror stories.
Graduate school taught you how to be a mental health clinician, but not how to actually run a practice.
You don’t know what to prioritize first, or how to build and grow without overextending yourself.
You’re exhausted from piecing together advice from Google searches, Facebook groups, and gut instinct.
You want guidance that’s practical and grounded - not fear-based, hype-driven, or designed to upsell you into expensive coaching you don’t need.
You’re not behind. You just need a clear path forward.
If you’re a clinician, you may recognize yourself here:
What is Practice Guide?
Practice Guide is a growing collection of clear, practical resources designed to help and run a practice with more confidence and fewer costly mistakes.
It’s built for psychologists and therapists who want:
straightforward explanations
realistic expectations
ethical, sustainable decision-making
guidance that respects their training and intelligence
