There is no better way to start off 2020 that with all of the Private Practice essentials. Don't wait till the end of the year when you have stressed out because you don't have all of the basic essentials to succeed. Here is a list I have put together that other therapists say makes their life so much easier.
Taking notes?- The number one complaint I hear from therapists is taking notes. They forget or dread doing it. They don't like wasting paper and then transferring notes over to the client's charts is like pulling teeth. Well, there is a better way. Rocketbook! With rocketbook you can take notes in the notebook, take a photo of the note, upload it into the cloud and then erase and reuse the notebook. You will save time money and protect the environment. Below are links to make a purchase. (Don't worry I found the cheapest place to make the purchase.)

Learning Resources- All the time I hear therapists asking for Learning resources. It's great that so many therapists are so interested in continuing their mental health education. Here is a list of resources that I think are very helpful in the therapy world.
