The American Psychotherapy Association (APA) organized another exciting and educational national conference, which was held in San Diego, California, on September 30 through October 1, 2024. In addition to the many presentations and workshops that this conference offered to attendees from all across the nation, APA announced that the Practice Builders provided a 4-hour presentation covering the four essential elements of marketing a private practice.

The following topics were covered in the Practice Builders workshop:

• Branding. What it is, what it isn’t, and how to do it without spending a small fortune.
• Internal Marketing. How existing clients can help generate new clients, and how to ensure that existing clients return for future business.
• External Marketing. Why newspaper ads, magazine ads, speaking engagements, and other forms of external marketing may (or may not) be necessary.
• Advertising. When and how to do it, and how to do it ethically and effectively.

Each segment of the Practice Builders workshop was 45 minutes in length; each of these segments were followed by a 10-minute “stretch and cell phone” break. There was also a 20-minute question-and-answer session at the end of the presentation.

Additional topics to be addressed in the workshop include why every practice should have a marketing plan, strategies to attract more of the patients you want to see, how to cultivate referrals from physicians, and how to market your practice without looking desperate. Each attendee will receive a copy of the Practice Builders’ PowerPoint presentation to take with them and use in their own practices.

Dr. Robert O’Block, founder and chief executive officer of APA, is excited that Practice Builders took part in the 2024 National Conference. He and the entire APA staff are proud to work toward providing the nation’s best information and education on practice management for association members; this Practice Builders workshop is just one example of this initiative.
