Therapists starting private practice often get hit with a lot of self-doubt and end up second-guessing many of the decisions they make.
Grad school doesn't prepare us to build a business, so when we decide to go into private practice, everyone seems to give different advice and have different values around what's ethical, how you should handle money, what is and isn't okay when providing client care, etc.
It can feel really overwhelming when there are so many voices saying how private practice should be done.
In this episode, I talk with Tara Holmquist, psychologist and moderator of the All Things Private Practice Facebook Group.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Understand the many ways you can do therapy and run a private practice.
- Get answers to some of the most common questions about private practice startup that show up on the All Things Private Practice Facebook Group.
- Learn how to align your private practice with your values to thrive and help clients as your authentic self.
There are so many ways to structure your private practice. Different clients have different needs, so don't be afraid to step outside the box and make your private practice your own. If you operate from a place of authenticity and align your private practice with your values, you, your business, and your clients will be more likely to thrive.
More about Tara:
Tara is a clinical psychologist licensed in CA and WI. She has been in private practice for about 5 years working with adults with relational/attachment trauma, as well as addiction/substance use. Her practice is exclusively telehealth, and her practice values include a heavy examination and challenge of implicit biases, internalized capitalism, and patriarchal leanings. Her practice is trauma and social justice informed. And she's a pretty cool regular human too.
