Most therapists want the freedom to control their fee and finances. You don’t want to wait on a W-2 or have your fee determined by the group. You want to set your own hours, set your own fee, and choose how you’re going to serve your clients.

It’s a good feeling when you can count on a steady stream of referrals. When you don’t have to guess whether you’re doing it right. When you can say “no” to clients who don’t fit your hours or specialty because you feel secure in your marketing.

You don’t want a generic office that has someone else’s degree or family pictures in it. You want a beautiful space that reflects the quality of your clinical work. A place that clients feel comfortable in and you feel proud of. You want to practice around other therapists who refer to you, and who you can trust as well.
