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.

Branching Out!

From contemplating a career change to actually taking action, this course has all the info you need as a social worker to branch out into private practice.

CURRENT COHORT IS CLOSED - JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR A SUMMER OR FALL SESSION 2025!

  • Yes! This course will give you a completion certificate that you can retain for your records. Each section can take about 2hrs of self-directed work so the completion certificate states this is a 12hr course which is equal to 12 credits.

    In 2026, ACSW updated their competency program where credits are no longer categorized by A/B/C type credits.

    Rather, now RSWs are required to document professional learning in a portfolio and establish an annual professional development plan where they achieve 40credits in the calendar year that fall under Continuing Education (that is what Branching Out counts towards) or Professional Engagement

  • This course has a mixture of audio/visual. Each section has a audio portion you can listen to while reading the transcript. A few sections have videos and all sections give you access to a fillable google doc for easy reflections (recommended you work from a computer)

  • At this time, once you sign-up you will not lose access to any current or future material (I guess that means you get lifetime access?).

    That being said, if the program gets moved to a different platform that might change. There is currently no plans to move the program though. So feel free to reference back to it as often as you need to!



  • Because you get a lot of information (and I mean a lot!) all sales are final when you purchase. However, I know life happens (and maybe an impulse decision or two), so if you’ve signed up and it just doesn’t feel right for you within the first 4 days of access, please email me at tia@unscriptedco.ca and we can sort something out.

  • There are two ways you can get support after this course

    1. Individual mentorship (discounted to $70/session for 6 months)

    2. Apply to The Grove.
      This is a year long membership with peer connection + specific support to grow your practice



  • “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!”

    Melissa

  • "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.”

  • “I am so grateful I heard of you and you have this resource, perfect timing and it’s so incredibly helpful. Especially being in Alberta. I’ll do the survey today but just wanted to let you know how helpful this is and how grateful I am. “

    Suzanne

  • "I highly recommend this course to anyone considering starting a private practice in therapy. The exercises in each section were practical and thought-provoking — they helped me shift from “just starting a practice” to truly thinking like a business owner. Everything was broken down into clear, doable steps, which made the whole process feel so much more straightforward and achievable. And I absolutely loved working with Tia — she’s supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success. Highly recommend if you’re starting a private practice!"
