Don't quit your day job too quickly. That's the first rule Gordon Brewer gives every therapist eyeing private practice. Gordon — a licensed marriage and family therapist, owner of Kingsport Counseling Associates, and host of the Practice of Therapy podcast — joins Travis for a candid conversation about the business side of therapy that graduate school never taught. They dig into the real math of leaving a salaried job, weighing insurance panels against private pay (and the hybrid model in between), marketing without the "ick factor," and the money shame so many therapists carry into private practice. Gordon also gets candid about burnout, and why leaning on community and delegation matters more than most of us admit.
