FAQ's
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes, you can pay in full or make 2 payments.
Do you offer student discounts?
Yes, we offer a $200 discount to students in a therapy, social work, counseling, psychology or mental health or behavioral health program or therapists in an internship or practicum position. Please email us for this special offer and let us know where you're currently enrolled or where you're doing your internship or practicum.
Can I stay at a less expensive hotel or airbnb nearby?
Of course you can! You’re not required to stay at Red Mountain Resort. You could rent an airbnb or vrbo and split the cost with a few colleagues or friends who are also attending or stay in a nearby hotel.
Here are 3 nearby hotels that have less expensive rates:
Super 8 by Wyndham, St. George, Utah from $84 / night.
Comfort Inn, St. George Utah from $151 / night.
Aiden by Best Western, St. George, Utah from $174 / night.
Do you offer CEU’s for this?
No, ultimately we decided against making a conference with CEU's because we wanted more freedom to structure it like a retreat and learning summit that would help teach you the steps you can take to expand your business and elevate your income in out of the box, creative ways. The process to qualify for getting CEU's involves submitting objectives that require clinical and peer reviewed research relevant to the presentations offered. All of the speakers we invited are doing such extraordinary, innovative things - finding articles to support their approaches might have been challenging. Our goal for this summit was to highlight exactly how therapists can build something wildly successful, beyond the 1:1 model of care. We wanted real people, telling real stories, sharing real action steps on how they did what they did to leave you feeling super inspired and ready to craft your vision for creating a larger impact. That's a hard thing to get a CEU to cover. That said - because this is an educational summit - it qualifies as a tax deduction.
Can I use this as a tax write off?
Yes, indeed! It’s an educational and learning summit towards the advancement of your business and career. Therefore, the cost of this summit and related expenses can be considered for a tax deduction.
I’m just at the beginning of my career, should I really go to something like this now?
YESSSS! Oh my gosh - if someone would have invited me to a summit like this when I was just building my career - I would have left with so much clarity and vision and what I learned there would have saved me so much time, energy and money in the long run! I wish I would have known about half of the things we will cover at this summit 10 years ago. It’s never too soon to start thinking about the expansion of your business and income as a therapist. All career stages are welcome and all will benefit from this summit.
I don’t even have a thriving practice yet, is this summit for me?
Yes, it is! This is honestly the best time to go to a summit like this. Not only will it help you see all the possible ways you can scale your business, it will help you gain clarity on the actual action steps you need to get there and make it happen.
What airport should I fly into?
We recommend flying into the St. George, Utah airport. The Red Mountain Resort Shuttle will pick you up from the airport and take you to the resort. It’s the closest airport to the resort. You can also fly into the Las Vegas, NV airport and arrange a paid shuttle or rent a car and drive to the resort.
Do I need to rent a car?
Not if you fly into the St. George, Utah airport, no. You will not need a car the entire time you’re there. The resort will transport you to and from the St. George Airport. If you fly into the Vegas airport, you can either rent a car or arrange for a paid shuttle ride. Click here for more details about getting to the resort.
I'm so stressed out, burned out and overwhelmed, I don't want to be scheduled back to back! Will I really have time to relax at this summit?
Yessssssss! This is exactly WHY we built this summit to be part retreat and part inspirational learning workshops so you would have plenty of time to relax, reset and restore! You can take a yoga class, fitness classes, lounge by the pool, book a massage or spa treatment, go hiking or nap in a hammock.
Due to the extensive planning of this summit, all payments are non-refundable. Thank you for your understanding.
