How to start a private practice as a psychologist? Most often, such questions are asked by people who either completed retraining in mid-life or a master’s degree, because they understand that they no longer have time to work for someone else. to earn prestige. As a rule, these are mature people who already have a family to feed. The same request is often made by people who have worked for a long time as psychologists in organizations. For example, you worked for 10 years or 5 years in kindergarten or school. Either they were doing career guidance or recruiting staff. And they still understand that they want private practice, because private practice allows them to work deeper, has a more flexible schedule, and plus allows them to potentially earn more if it is organized correctly. What recommendations do I give to people to start a private practice? But if you have some kind of sponsor, your parents or husband are willing to support you for some time, then everything is simple. You simply quit your job and dive headfirst into your advancement as a psychologist. And here you can turn to some services that promote psychologists, and also start promoting yourself on social networks. About what exactly to do this, a little later. If we are talking now about what to do if you do not have such sponsors, and, as a rule, it often happens that they are not in our lives after all, then it is logical, Continuing your work, slowly begin your promotion. Either on social networks, or contact one of the online services, if you have all the necessary diplomas, so that they can take you on for promotion. And then I recommend, firstly, to accumulate a financial safety net, that is, to collect money so that you can feed yourself and your family for at least three months while you have few clients. When you completely switch to private practice, try to spend some then the amount for advertising. The second thing I recommend is to start writing at least some posts on at least one social network today. Or shoot a video. To do this, it’s enough to watch some very simple training once a week, free of charge, or look for some article on promotion, read on the Internet, try to implement all this and start with the network that is convenient for you, where you feel comfortable. You can start a second one social network in reserves, there you can simply broadcast the posts that you write on the first social network. This is how it will protect you and give you prospects for future development in two social networks. Well, these are the main simple recommendations; I usually put down the remaining nuances in more detail if they come to me for a consultation. I am already individually building a development program for each of the psychologists who contacted me.
