All Things Private Practice Podcast Episode 70: The Retreat Boom: Entrepreneurial Therapists [featuring Jennifer Agee]
Do you ever think that, even though you might love being a therapist, there is another calling out there or a way to take your therapeutic skills and give back to the world?
Do you ever feel stagnant in your career and wish you could rekindle your passion or shift it to something related but better for you?
Have you ever wanted to get away, travel someplace new, have an adventure, and experience the world in a raw and authentic way without having to take time from your busy schedule to make plans or figure out what that kind of experience looks like?
Well, this episode is for you
In this episode, I talk with Jennifer Agee, therapist, strategic business coach, retreat host, founder and owner of Counseling Community, Inc., and host of the "Sh*t You Wish You Learned in Grad School" podcast.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Understand the power behind therapist entrepreneurial retreats and how it opens doors to new possibilities in unexpected ways.

So, if you are ready to have your adventure and walk a different path to lead you to your calling, then retreats might be the thing for you. It’s amazing how much they can impact lives, as well as the extreme amount of growth that comes from being in an incubator of like-minded professionals.

The Receptionist for iPad
I want to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode. From new patients faced with an empty lobby and no idea where to find their therapist to clinicians with a session running over time and the doorbell ringing, some of the most anxiety-ridden moments of a therapy appointment happen before a session even starts. The Receptionist for iPad, helps you tackle some of that pre-appointment apprehension and anxiety. The Receptionist for iPad is an easy-to-use digital client check-in system that helps your visitors check in securely to their appointments and notify their practitioners of their arrival via SMS, email, or your preferred channel. No more confusion, and less lobby checking or having clients sign in on paper logbooks. It can even help you upgrade and update your demographic information for your clients as well and even validate parking. Start a 14-day free trial of the Receptionist for iPad by going to thereceptionist.com/privatepractice. Make sure to start your trial with that link and you'll also get your first month free if you decide to sign up.
