4 Helpful Tips for Starting a Private Practice
Consider these tips when starting your journey as a private mental health practitioner:
1. Get Licensed and Credentialed
This may be an obvious first priority. Transferring from an established agency should provide you with the experience and caseloads you will need to get through the licensing and credentialing requirements in a heartbeat. This is especially essential to get sorted out in the beginning, so you can be ready to see clients and bill insurance companies with no issues.
2. Consider Time Management
When you’re building your private practice, you must be willing to put in those extra hours. However, once your private practice is up and running, consider working part-time while your client list grows to have an alternative, dependable source of income.
3. Emphasize Marketing and Connections
A great website is your best investment. Educate yourself on the best options for website hosting, and think about what functions your clients will need. Connect with your community offline through professional organizations such as your local professional organizations and social media groups.
4. Find a Partner to Organize Your Billing
Billing as a private practice can be an intimidating process. Don’t let your money slip through the cracks; gain financial confidence by partnering with a trusted team of mental health billing professionals.
