Wow found this channel yesterday. Awesome information man 💪🏾💪🏾

[@matthewryanLCSW]

Amazing. So glad you find it helpful

[@NoniIfe]

You are like my virtual mentor in my head lol.

[@matthewryanLCSW]

Thats awesome. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it

[@BrandyMurray]

I sit for my licensing exam at the end of next month. Is this something I could start doing now to get the ball rolling? Or should I wait until I pass?

[@matthewryanLCSW]

Hi Brandy, Thats awesome. What a big milestone you are approaching. I would recommend focusing on your test since its so close. Additionally, you will want to have your new license active before obtaining malpractice and all that.

Do you need a DBA if you established a LLC?

[@matthewryanLCSW]

You don't need one, but you can get one if you want to use a different name

[@DivineEsme]

@@matthewryanLCSW I forgot to add, do you see clients in multiple states or just NY? if so do you keep a universal consent form? I am licensed in three states and recently opened my LCC- sole provider. I am currently working on documentation

[@matthewryanLCSW]

@@DivineEsme I would always have my documentation and intake packet reviewed by an attorney. They would be the best to advise on how to make sure the wording is correct for the states you are providing services in

[@DivineEsme]

@@matthewryanLCSW thank you!
