Is Private Practice Right for all Therapists?<\/h2>\n

Going into private practice is the first consideration many therapists take. However, they have misplaced ideas about many aspects involved with working in a private practice, and when reality hits they can be quite surprised and even disheartened.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many go into private practice without knowing what it really entails. They think they will be able to work only the hours they want, and have long vacations.<\/p>\n

This is not the case.<\/p>\n

What are the Realities of Private Practice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is important to remember that every clinician needs to be there for their clients when their needs are at their greatest.<\/p>\n

In many practices you will be expected to work evenings as a result, because many clients work during the day and need to access care after hours.<\/p>\n

Constantly fluctuating schedules can have an impact on the amount of money you earn, and also your home life.<\/p>\n

As well, many of your clientele will need to be self-referred. This means that you must actively network<\/a> and bring in your own clients.<\/p>\n

It may take a significant length of time to develop a full case load, and earn a decent living.<\/p>\n

As well, you won\u2019t earn any money while you are on vacation. This is why many clinicians are reluctant to take holidays.<\/p>\n

Vacations can also be disruptive for clients, and poor client retention can be linked to a clinician having a lot of time off from the practice.<\/p>\n

Finding the Right Balance in Private Practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Each therapist must achieve a meaningful balance between home and work life. This can take time, and requires skills some people may find difficult to cultivate.<\/p>\n

By getting a sense of what you are expecting private practice to be, you can ascertain whether or not it is a good fit for what you are looking for.<\/p>\n

Knowing what you are going to face, and being forewarned can go a long way towards making a success of going into private practice.<\/p>\n
