Great if you just got your license

the book is a short story about going into private practice. it would be nice to have access to the forms and appendix that are referenced. this it more for someone coming out of community mental health, not someone trying to build a practice.

about what i expected

most of the info in the book was (for me) commonly known. however the information on insurance panels made the purchase worth my while.

What a gift!

I am so grateful to have found this audiobook. I needed a ton of this knowledge. I will be looking for a hard copy of the book next. Thank you so so much for sharing all that you've learned.

Great

I am finally taking the leap even though I feel like the last one to the party. I’ve amassed binders and this was so helpful in narrowing down my focus and organizing a plan. And she really does email you the forms! I was so elated! Anyone else on this journey understands that one less thing off your plate is a blessing! Thank you!
