Home Based Private Practice
vs. Brick and Mortar
Home Based Private Practice - I love my home based private practice. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, and I can wear my pajamas all day if I want to when I work on admin tasks. But sometimes I wonder if I’m missing out on something.
Brick and Mortar - There are so many perks to being a brick and mortar therapist. I get to meet new people every day and work with new patients. I can advertise in the local newspaper and talk to my neighbors. I can even bring in an extra pair of hands to help out with bookkeeping and office work.
