We started off Season 2 announcing that Peggy had decided to leave her health tech job to go back into practicing therapy, specifically as a perinatal mental health therapist after getting her PMH-C! There was a learning curve in starting her own private practice, but it didn't take too long for Peggy to fill her schedule.

We thought it might be helpful to share some of her learnings with those who might also be considering a path of starting their own practice or even in general considering pursuing working for themselves, so this episode will go into Peggy's journey and experience over the past year. 

We talk about:

• Why she decided to go back into practicing therapy
• What were the first things to set up and third parties to consider
• Pros and cons of accepting insurance
• Considering working for a group practice
• Benefits of extra certifications, like PMH-C
• How she was able to get client referrals organically
• The transition from working for corporate to working for herself
• What the turnover of clients is like
• Reflections and learnings on the journey

Hope this episode helps someone out there with their journey or provides some insight on the process!
