Providing Treatment Based on Needs Not As Time Allows: One of the Many Benefits of Private Practice
Being a therapist can be a rewarding and overwhelming experience all at the same time. There are times you feel like you are doing your best work and then there are times where you feel like you cannot possibly meet all the needs of your clients. This can be especially true if you are working for a clinic or practice with unreasonably high caseload requirements.
Being the Best Provider You Can Be
When we are taking care of ourselves and providing exceptional care to our clients we tend to feel like we are functioning at our best. It can be hard to show up like you want to in sessions if you are overworked and feel like you are spinning your wheels.
The APA shared a recent study that showed that 45% of psychologists reported feeling burned out. When we as providers are overworked and have little control over our schedules it’s hard to feel good. You can only feel overwhelmed for so long before you begin to feel burned out.
How Can Contracting Help?
When you are a contracted provider, you are in the driver’s seat. You have far more control over the aspects of your practice and can put guidelines in place to ensure you are taking care of yourself and providing the best possible care.
