Starting a Private Practice: Lessons From the Past
What was it like to start a private practice decades ago — and how has it changed today? In this episode, Jim (therapist) and Paul (business leader) Jonas explore the history of private practice ownership, from billing by paper form and battling HMOs, to today’s compliance-heavy environment.
They share personal stories, struggles, and insights that highlight how much the field has evolved — and what remains the same: the courage to start and the challenges of growing a practice.
If you’re thinking about starting your own practice — or just curious about how far the industry has come — this episode will give you perspective, context, and encouragement.
