Sites I like and think will be relevant to fellow new counselors. Please "Contact Us" if you would like to request your (counseling-related) link be included on our Links page. Not all sites will be appropriate for our purposes.
These are an assortment of products and services that I have given my "stamp of approval"! Some of these I am privileged to represent as an affiliate marketer, ALL of these items I believe would be a solid investment.

Paid For Life
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=587Z68M7Y7QG6
Dr. Deb Legge has given BeginningCounselor members an exclusive (and possibly limited-time) discount on her Paid for Life video series. The package of 4 videos systematically takes you through every aspect of setting fees, including discovering the appropriate amount to charge, getting credentialed for insurance companies, getting paid as an insurance provider, and so much more. The package also includes tons of great extras. Let me tell you from personal experience - the list of insurance companies and EAPs to apply to ALONE are worth the purchase price. Normally available for $67, Deb has knocked off $5 for our members - get it quickly before she changes her mind!
