Social Worker in Private Practice

Join Tammy Roche for another Episode of Social Worker in Private Practice.

In this episode, I talk all about quarter planning in private practice - what it is, why it works, and how it can help you stay focused and intentional throughout the year. Running a private practice often means wearing many hats, and without a plan, it's easy to feel reactive instead of proactive.

I break down how quarterly planning gives you a clear, manageable framework for setting goals, tracking progress, and adjusting as you go. We'll explore how to reflect on what's working, prioritize what matters most, and create a roadmap that aligns with both your professional and personal values.

In this episode, I talk about holidays in your private practice—how to plan for them, take them, and actually enjoy them without guilt or stress.

When you work for yourself, taking time off can feel complicated. There's the pressure to be available, the worry about income gaps, and the challenge of setting boundaries around your time.

In this episode, I talk all about peer consult groups—what they are, why they matter, and how they can support you in private practice.

When you're working solo, it's easy to feel isolated or unsure about clinical decisions, business questions, or how to navigate tricky situations. That's where peer consultation comes in.

In this episode, I talk all about easing into a new season of your private practice—whether that's a new calendar season, a fresh quarter, or a personal transition you're moving through.

Instead of rushing to reset, reinvent, or overhaul everything, I explore what it means to ease in with intention, clarity, and compassion.

In this episode, I reflect on what it was like to run my private practice just two days a week over the summer.

In this episode, I talk all about cleansing your space, both physically and energetically, and how it can impact your mindset, focus, and overall well-being in private practice.

When your environment feels cluttered, stagnant, or out of alignment, it can subtly affect how you show up in your work and how you feel in your day-to-day routine.

In this episode, I talk all about energy leaks in your private practice... those subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways your time, focus, and emotional bandwidth get drained without you even realizing it. These leaks can show up in many forms: unclear boundaries, underpriced services, constant rescheduling, cluttered systems, or even just saying "yes" when you really mean "no."

If you've been feeling depleted, stuck, or like your workday is heavier than it needs to be, this episode is your permission to step back, reassess, and protect your energy with intention.

In this episode, I talk all about a common question that comes up when starting a private practice: Do you really need a niche right away? There's a lot of pressure to define your niche from day one… who you serve, how you help, and what sets you apart, but for many new practitioners, that clarity doesn't come instantly.

Whether you're feeling stuck because you haven't "niched down" yet or questioning if your current niche still fits, this episode offers reassurance and perspective to help you move forward with more clarity and less pressure.
