A very important component of having a private forensic practice is to network and create lasting relationships with colleagues in the field. You must make sure your work is above board, accurate, and usable in a court of law because forensic psychologists are held to higher ethical standards than their clinical counterparts. In today's episode, I spoke with Dr. Brenna Tindall about how these elements assist with building a forensic private practice and becoming a forensic psychologist. In addition, we chatted about the following:
-Self-care and knowing your limits in forensic work
-Forensic practice business models (being a consultant and mitigation expert)
-The use of an engagement letter
-How to get referrals
