What I’d Do Differently If I Were Starting My Private Practice Today
When therapists look back on the early days of private practice, most don’t wish they had worked harder — they wish they had worried less, simplified sooner, and trusted themselves earlier.
In this reflective episode, Amber shares what she would do differently if she were starting her private practice today. Not from a place of regret, but from experience — and with the goal of helping therapists avoid unnecessary stress, self-doubt, and overcomplication.
Amber walks listeners through the shifts that made the biggest difference in her own practice: letting go of the need to have everything figured out, building simple systems earlier, treating money as information instead of emotion, and setting boundaries sooner rather than later.
Listeners will learn:
- Why clarity comes from action — not from waiting until you feel ready
- How early systems create relief instead of rigidity
- Why emotional reactions to money can cloud good decision-making
- How boundaries protect both therapists and clients
- Why support and community matter more than doing it “on your own”
- How redefining success can change your entire experience of private practice
This episode is a reminder that private practice isn’t something you get “right” — it’s something you build, refine, and grow into over time.
