PREVIOUS EVENT:
Insurance is an ongoing discussion in the therapist community. We’re jumping in.
To be or not to be…paneled, that is. Come out and talk with practice owners who both utilize insurance to sustain their practice and those who opt not to do so. Hear the pros/cons and how each clinician makes their choice work for them. We’ll also talk about third parties like Headway, Grow, etc.
MIXER to immediately follow! Follow up the insurance conversation or chat generally with other Black therapists in the Atlanta area. As always, we’ll have good food, good music, and good conversation. Join us in learning and making lasting professional connections!
