Private Practice Start-Up

The biggest obstacle I had in setting up a private practice was fear.

After joining a group practice and essentially becoming an employee, I knew within two years that I wanted to leave and set up my own practice. Yet it took me three more years to overcome my fear about making it on my own, especially since I opted to go off insurance panels and start a solely fee-for-service practice.

Setting up my own practice, I have learned practical steps to help other therapists get started and delve into the unknown with more confidence.
