Wondering how to start a private practice? You’re in the right place.
Starting, developing, or expanding a private practice can feel both exciting and overwhelming. I know because I’ve been there.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who had dreams of opening a private practice after having my first child. I remember knowing that I had a vision of providing compassionate care on my own terms, but the logistics, business strategies, and practicalities felt overwhelming and daunting.
After a lot of research, trials, errors, wins, I found myself wanting to share my knowledge with other mental health professionals that are wondering how to start, develop, or expand their private practice. And so Private Practice Made Easy was born.
