How hard is it to start your own private practice, and how do you know when it's time to go for it? In today’s Feelings and Finances episode, host Linzy shares her thoughts on transitioning from agency or group practice settings to launching a private practice. Money Skills team member Christelle calls in with this frequently asked question, and Linzy offers insights for therapists wondering if and when to go solo.

Linzy explores two paths to entering private practice, and she covers the essentials that therapists need to consider before making the shift. Linzy emphasizes that while building a private practice requires effort and planning, the outcome—a sustainable practice that reflects your personal values and financial needs—is deeply rewarding.

Tune in to hear Linzy unpack the realities, challenges, and surprising opportunities that come with starting a private practice. Hear Linzy’s practical advice and encouragement to help you make the best decision for your unique circumstances.
