358: Why I’m Going Back to Private Practice
Episode description
I have big news! I’m going back into private practice! Don’t worry, though, because STC remains, and I’ll be adding 1-2 days of clinical work each week. In today’s session, I’m pulling back the curtain on my thought process as I’ve pondered this decision for quite a while. Do I have all the bits and pieces organized and figured out? The answer is NO, and that’s okay. I want to give you a glimpse into the messy middle of this decision and the three main reasons I have made this choice.
You’ll Learn:
- What my life was like when STC began in 2015 when I was working in a group practice
- Why I feel a responsibility to provide mental health support in today’s world
- Three reasons I feel drawn to private practice:
- I genuinely miss clinical work.
- The mental health landscape is changing like no other due to COVID-19, AI tools, and heavily financed mental health startups.
- A “hub and spoke model” can keep things in perspective for me.
- How I’m structuring my “hub and spoke model” with a flagship offering as the “hub” and other offerings as “spokes”
- Questions that I’m thinking about and weighing in my mind about private practice:
- Is the insurance route or private pay route better?
- Do I have a niche for private practice work?
- How I’m confronting my fears about taking this new step
- The hopes and dreams I have about stepping into a new phase
