Key Takeaways for Therapists
Retirement is one of the most consequential transitions in a therapist’s professional life.
Lynn and Margaret’s Readiness for Retirement Model helps therapists plan across four stages: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, and action.
Planning early supports ethical closure and a smoother emotional process for both therapist and client.
Common barriers include guilt, grief, and identity shifts—as well as lack of business or financial planning.
Creating a professional will and protecting intellectual property are essential parts of ending well.
Therapists can honor their legacy by recognizing the lasting impact of their work and embracing new opportunities in retirement.
