Effective Networking: Using your Passions to Build Your Dream Private Practice

Apr 4, 2023

When it comes to building a private practice, let’s be real… we can’t do it alone. You need friends, mentors, and other therapists to have your back and push you to do the uncomfortable (but necessary) things. Today’s guest has essentially been Kelley’s right-hand woman through her entire entrepreneurial journey. Tune in to this episode as we welcome JuliAnn Crommelin MA, AAC, an executive functioning and ADHD coach. JuliAnn joins Kelley to help her reflect on how she started her private practice, as well as Private Practice Pro, and the most effective tips and strategies they’ve learned for networking, marketing, referrals, and more.
