36. G Suite and HIPAA Compliance for Therapists with Gordon Brewer

by | Feb 10, 2020 | Podcast, Private Practice Website

In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation podcast, you’re going to learn all you need to know about using G Suite in a private practice.

When building a therapy practice, it’s important to have the right tools to help you create systems and be organized within your business.

This helps keep you focused and not inventing the wheel every time you get a new client, need to send a form or perform other repetitive tasks in your business.

The trouble is that practice organization software can be expensive, especially if your private practice is in the early stages of existence.

G Suite (Googles suite of tools) can be an excellent way to get started with systems in your business.

They offer a huge range of applications and tools you can use to make your therapy life much easier.

Most people think that using Google services for their private practice will not be HIPAA compliant, but as our special guest explains, that’s not the case.

L. Gordon Brewer, Jr., MEd, LMFT is a  licensed marital and family therapist and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. Gordon is the person behind The Practice of Therapy Podcast and Blog. 

At The Practice of Therapy, Gordon provides information and resources for clinicians starting, growing or scaling private practices.

Gordon has personally built his own private practice while relying heavily on G Suite in order to get it all done.

He knows the ins and outs of G Suite tools and, as you’ll hear in the interview, he loves to teach everything he knows.

So if you’re looking for the technical tools you need to run your practice, without breaking the bank, listen in to my conversation with Gordon.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • How to set up an office management system within Google Suite to run your practice on about 5 bucks a month
  • Using Gmail while still having an email address at your website’s domain
  • What you need in order to make Google Suite and Gmail HIPAA compliant so that you can use it in your therapy practice
