Private Practice Action Work Group (PPAWG)

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Private Practice in New York State, there are many challenges that are encountered as psychotherapists and business owners.

  • What do you like and dislike about being in private practice?
  • Do you like helping your clients and watching them grow?
  • How do you deal with the isolation?
  • Do you need a place to discuss changing laws and guidelines?

 

Look no further! The mission of the NASW-NYS Private Practice Action Workgroup (PPAWG) is to work collaboratively as one to discuss, advocate and problem solve professional concerns related to treating clients/patients in a private practice setting through professional support and as a unified group in order to promote change.

Whether you have a desire to learn about concerns related to private practice, or work as a private practitioner, you are welcome to join us. Please click here now to register for any upcoming meeting!
