Is Independent Contracting for You?
Many therapists dream of being in private practice. This prospect can be both exciting and overwhelming, often becoming a beloved fantasy that may never become a reality.
Private practice on your own is a lot of work, and can take years before you understand the ins and outs of insurance, federal and state laws, marketing yourself, taxes, etc. These are some of the many other things one who has always been an employee does not know about, but MUST do in private practice. All of this has to happen, while still complying with your licensing board, gaining more knowledge and becoming a better therapist as the years go by. Wearing many hats is taxing, and many private practitioners wind up throwing in the towel because it is simply too overwhelming.
Working for someone else, being in a positive, supportive atmosphere, making a nice income, helping clients change their lives. Is this possible?
Yes, it is! You can become an independent contractor with a group practice that is the right fit.
Becoming an independent contractor is exciting, though it can require a lot of work and knowledge, especially if you aren’t with a supportive practice. You may be unhappy with where you are in your career, but do not know what else you can do. Look no further than Carolina Counseling Services!
While contracting may not be for everyone, it could be exactly what you have been looking for! Therapists that tend to be the most successful practicing independently are warm, friendly and engaging. They bond well with their clients and find that clients remain in therapy and grow while in treatment with them. Successful independently practicing therapists are not only wonderful therapists, they are also self-motivated, organized and driven. Does this sound like you?
You went to school to do therapy, to effect change and help people become who they are meant to be. You did NOT go to school to be bogged down by billing, paperwork and bureaucracy. You deserve to be part of a practice where you are supported and appreciated. A place where you can independently practice while still receiving support and feedback from knowledgeable professionals who have “been there, done that”.
Imagine, doing what you love to do in a relaxed, warm and welcoming environment. This dream can become a reality.
