Private Practice - The Right Choice for Me?

Description: Dr. Jackson will offer a "nuts-and-bolts" approach to the factors that need to be considered by LPCs who may be thinking of leaving an agency and beginning their own practice. For LPCs already in a private practice, there will be useful information on maximizing relationships with insurance boards, trends in the field, and a panel discussion on the future of the profession. For students, new counselors, and those working in agencies, come to find out more about this exciting option-, and how it might enhance your career!

Presenter: Dr. Jackson left his job working as a parole/ probation officer to pursue a career in counseling, believing that he could be more valuable working with people before they got into trouble, rather than after. Following a Masters at Campbell University, he did his Doctoral work at William and Mary, then returned home to Harnett County. He currently manages a private practice in Harnett County, as well as works as a counselor (LPC) and a professor at UNC-Pembroke, where he is helping guide and educate the next generation of new LPCs to serve the Carolinas. His gentle nature and passion for educating and working with counselors is evident in all that he does, and you can be sure this workshop will be engaging, fun, and interactive.
