I’ve been on your site all day and I could readily find the answer to any question that randomly popped up in my head about how to set up, open, and run my own Psych ANP Practice in Missouri. My biggest hangup was collaborating physician -
Found on your site today ~ Yep, they’re out there!

I am honored to have come upon your site, my “knowledge pot of gold!”I clearly understand WHY what is discussed there, MUST stay there.

Thank you so much for your wonderful, wonderful site! It’s very nice to be with Like-Minds!

Private Coaching & Consulting

Sometimes, watching videos, listening to audios, getting support from colleagues, or even getting questions answered from experts, is just not enough. Sometimes, in order to understand something complex, or just to get a running starting on moving forward, you will need and want individual time to spend working specifically on the challenges that face you. For those that desire this level of service, please feel free to contact us to discuss this option further.

I have found Barbara Phillips to be a fabulous resource on independent practice. She has been very good at helping me problem solve and make my plans for the future. She has years of experience and has gained so much valuable knowledge. I am always thrilled after speaking with Barbara – I have a list of things to do, but I am definitely satisfied!

• Support and Knowledge

  I have spent the morning printing off the downloads from your wonderful site. Bless you for bringing this site to us all...for putting all the effort into helping NP's carry out their vision, instead of just dreaming about it.
  Take care, and thank you so much again for creating a place of support and knowledge. I love the NP interviews and often jot down notes as I listen!

• Opened 2 years ahead of plan…

  On March 17, 2009 I will open my door as a private practice psychiatric office. I am starting part time to see how it goes, but I have been doing some market analysis and it looks good.
  Thank you for your service to all NPs. I could not have done this without talking to you or using your website. Thank you, thank you...
