With all the changes in the therapy profession and private practice lately, I’ve heard folks wonder if it’s possible to have a successful private practice in 2026. I do wholeheartedly believe it’s still possible! But I do also think it’s wise to adapt our strategy to fit today.

In this episode, I share the two top tips I’d focus on to launch a successful private practice in 2026. The good news: they don’t have anything to do with AI or technology.
