Columbus Private Practice Owners Luncheon (Free)

Description: 

A Learning Luncheon and social / networking event for owners of mental-health-related private practices, hosted by Kaela Rae Vance LPCC-S, LLC, spotlighting featured presenter Michelle Risser LISW-S. As a private practice owner herself, Kaela has personally felt the need for peer support related to launching a small startup counseling agency. As such, she wanted to tap into the experience and skills of peers with whom she has established professional relationships. Kaela intends to continue luncheons like these, to bring valuable information to the Central Ohio counseling cohort. At this luncheon, Michelle Risser will be providing us an introductory presentation on "Therapist Burnout"; which is an extremely important topic for counselors, specifically those who also carry the responsibility of managing their own private practice.
