In my master's program, James and his team allowed us to experience working in private practice, which was invaluable to me when I started my own private practice in India. It helped us improve both our technical and soft skills, ensuring success. I am excited to participate in " The Manual to Great Therapy" in the next two weeks along with my team members.
