You can build your own private practice.

Yes, even if you ‘only’ have a BSW or have just recently finished your MSW. In this course, you’ll learn about scope of practice and what is required of you to properly safeguard your practice whilst playing with your creativity.

Yup, even if you plan on starting as part-time. This program gives checklists and all the tools you need to get started whether you are meeting with one client a month or jumping into it full-time. It is also okay if you are just gathering info now so you can launch in a year+ from now.

And yessss, you can do this at any financial approach you want. Whether you get a grant or loan, or use small parts of your savings, this course will teach you how to save on costs and which areas you should really invest in.

  • “I’m currently in Tias mentorship program as a MSW looking to start a private practice and all I can say is not only is her warmth felt as a person but she’s also super knowledgeable. Any questions she was prompt and in-depth with her responses! She creates a community where you feel safe to both ask questions and to take chances! Highly recommend for anyone looking to branch out and start in private practice!”

  • "Branching Out was just what I needed. I have been considering "dipping my toe" into private practice for a while but felt limited by not having a MSW. The Branching Out course reviewed what I needed to consider and do in order to start private practice Tia is so helpful and answered any questions I had. The huddles are great to hear from others and where they are at. It was great to share ideas. I am now feeling more confident to start private practice as opposed to waiting 1-2 years which was where I was at before I took Branching Out. I highly recommend Branching Out for any social worker considering private practice now and in the future.”
