It depends. Private practice is not for everyone. One study showed the highest levels of satisfaction for private practice clinicians were in the areas of: professional independence, flexible hours, and level of success with clients (Walfish and O’Donnell, 2008). Another poll of private practice clinicians revealed the following (Barnett and Henshaw, 2003):

“Pros”:  Being your own boss, Flexibility (location, hours, specialization), Unlimited earnings potential, Control over business decisions, Full responsibility of the success of one’s practice

“Cons”:  Financial Uncertainty, Responsibility for all expenses and overhead, professional isolation (for solo practitioners), operations responsibility (billing, collections, insurance, employee decisions)
