I have always treasured Megan since first meeting her for a coaching session several years ago, so for me it was a no brainer to buy this book. However, never did I think I would get glued to every page the way I did. I even had to take it on vacation with me and in the picture above I was literally reading it on the beach. Megan transformed my life by helping me expand my practice into a group and now this book has given me the knowledge and courage to go beyond that as well. The ideas in here were amazing! I’m now in the process of creating anger management seminars (anger management is my niche) for other therapists and for community members. This book literally handed me the blue print that I didn’t know I needed. First the seminars, then expanding to creating Continuing Education Courses. I’m so excited for my next journey. If you haven’t bought this book you’re missing out!!!!

So many times, I've bought a book only to have the author repeat the same message that was in the first page all throughout the book without feeling like I've gotten anything useful out of it. This is not that! This book felt like each chapter was a coaching session. Like she was sitting next to me, showing me the possibilities of what I could do and pointing me towards the resources that would help me do it. I've had a successful private practice for 4 years and I still found the chapter on starting a private practice to be useful. Some information affirming and some motivating me to put more energy into certain parts I've neglected. A couple of chapters didn't interest me yet, but I know that when or if I'm ready to make those moves, the resource is in this book for exactly how to do it. Also, it was a quick read, which I love.

I wanted to hop on and share my thoughts about Megan's new book! I wish I had been able to read the first section of the book 3 years ago, when I first opened my own private practice. I was in over my head, and would have loved a step-by-step guide like this.The second section is all about scaling, which feels like a relevant roadmap for me over the next few years. I have been looking for ways to diversify my income, and this book really spells out very specific avenues for doing that.The third section is all about maintaining our sanity as therapists and humans at every stage! Burnout is very real in this field, and going back to the basics of self-care and boundaries is fundamental.I think this book should be on every entrepreneurial therapist's desk. :)

Megan Gunnell’s book Thriving As A Therapist grabs you from the introduction and invites you into a description of her world as a successful 1:1 therapist many therapists can identify with. What is different is that Gunnell’s book then throws open the possibility of saving yourself from burnout or creating new opportunities for yourself as a new or seasoned practitioner that grad school did not teach you about. The book navigates the complexities of establishing a successful private practice as well as pursuing avenues of entrepreneurship such as online courses, speaking, and coaching. Megan does a phenomenal job blending business acumen and therapeutic wisdom to traverse the business landscape confidently while making a meaningful impact on clients’ lives. This book empowers therapists to achieve entrepreneurial success. Dr. Amanda Kern, DSW, LICSW, ICAADC, MAC, CDP, CST
