Private practice telehealth jobs in California at Parks & Powers Psychotherapy
Are you liking the idea so far?

Many therapists decide they want to start a private practice or join a group practice after being licensed. However, most of them don’t know how to get started. Some clinicians choose to “intern” in an individual or group private practice to accrue hours toward licensure. Grad school, practicum, internships, and even many private practices either:
1) don’t teach the business side of therapy, or
2) barely touch on it.

Shawntres and Danae founded Parks & Powers to help amazing clinicians learn where to start then keep it going. We call the time you spend at Parks & Powers a “private practice residency” for good reason: we’ve crafted a nurturing learn-by-doing environment for therapists to gain the knowledge and skills it takes to build and maintain a successful individual or group private practice. We’ll teach you to launch and grow your own practice!

We are passionate about providing exemplary client care, training clinicians, and entrepreneurship so it was a natural fit for us to find a way to bring our knowledge and skills together to teach both the business and clinical sides of private practice. It’s so fun to be a part of our colleagues clarifying, and then pursuing, their private practice vision!

Many clinicians try to start in private practice… then soon quit to return to the stability that agency work or some group practices offer: a regular paycheck, group health insurance, and a structured schedule mostly dictated by their employer. Some clinicians thrive in that type of environment, but that is not what private practice looks like. To be successful in private practice, you must be private practice oriented.

If you’re a clinician who is private practice oriented, you are…
passionate.

You have a passion for working with your chosen clients (e.g., demographic populations, diagnoses, symptoms) and a willingness to tell the community, your clients, and your colleagues: what you do, why it’s so exciting for you, and how it helps your clients.

self-motivated.

You have a strong desire to build a private practice, develop a specialty, and do anything you need to do to get it off the ground (e.g., consult with colleagues, research the community, network, obtain a certification) and an openness to learning the most effective ways to retain your clients and build a thriving practice.

strong in your work ethic.

You have a desire to work hard, consistently. You don’t expect, nor wait around for, clients to simply be handed to you.

self-disciplined.

You have a desire to work toward your practice goals and the commitment and accountability to yourself to achieve these goals. You have a willingness to put together a plan, and stick to it, while discovering new ways to build your practice. You have the ability to set a schedule which accommodates your practice’s needs while keeping personal time and “self-care” in mind.

flexible.

You have a willingness to take clients as they come in the beginning, even if the appointments are not conveniently scheduled back-to-back. You’re ready to create a flexible structure with appropriate boundaries for your work and personal time. Work time may include client care (e.g., sessions, progress notes, treatment plans, supervision/consultation), administrative tasks (e.g., returning client and referral source contacts, bookkeeping, paying bills), growth-oriented tasks (e.g., marketing research and implementation of marketing plans, attending training), etc.

an excellent communicator.

You have the ability to ask productive questions, share knowledge and feedback with your colleagues, and contact the appropriate person, in a timely manner, when you need help.

participatory.

You are committed to showing up, prepared, for supervision/consultation groups, team meetings, trainings, and other scheduled events in your practice.

patient.

It takes time to build a practice and many therapists become discouraged with their first few paychecks. Remember, this is a new business for you, and it will take time to establish. You need to be able to plan for, and accept, the multitude of challenges that come with building and maintaining a private practice. The money will come – like everything, it’s a process.
