Are you tapping into the full potential of client retention in your private practice, or are you letting opportunities slip through your fingers? Let's get real about the part of your therapy practice that's often brushed aside but is actually a goldmine for both you and your clients.

In today's episode, I'm tackling the tricky topic of client retention head-on. I'll share with you how to approach those critical moments when a client is considering ending therapy - without crossing ethical lines or making them feel cornered. I'll discuss the power of a meaningful closing process and how it can lead to unexpected breakthroughs and deeper healing. Client retention isn't just about keeping your private practice afloat; it's about ensuring that every client gets the chance to truly benefit from therapy.

So, if you're ready to challenge the status quo and embrace a more impactful way of wrapping up therapy, this episode is for you. Tune in and let's dive deep into the heart of client retention in private practice together!
