"I am writing to tell you Thank You!! I attended your workshop last December, 2006 and am excited to inform you that I have successfully launched my solo practice this past April. The two of you really inspired me to bring my dream to fruition. I am still working out the kinks, but I am doing better than expected. I have a handful of patients and referrals are slow, but steady. I have done a great deal of networking and am confident that things will only improve from here. So again a big thanks! I hope to attend a workshop again soon with the two of you."
Sincerely,
Angela Solis, LCPC, CADC

In 1999, The Illinois Mental Health Counselors Association asked Robert and Norman to conduct a workshop for licensed mental health professionals on "Starting a Successful Private Practice." The response was tremendous. Paula Kosin, MS, president of the Kosin Group in Downers Grove, IL, reviewed the workshop for an article in the Illinois Mental Health newsletter. She wrote, "Dasenbrook teamed up with Bob Walsh to present a day-long look at what it takes to establish, expand and manage a private practice. The packed agenda for the day included a wide range of critical topics to consider. For participants, the day would pass quickly and be extremely informative. The content of the workshop was comprehensive The information-packed workshop, laced with good humor and war stories, was a terrific way to introduce the participants to what it takes to be successful." As a result of the response from the workshop, Dasenbrook and Walsh co-authored The Complete Guide to Private Practice for Licensed Mental Health Professionals.
