New Professionals in Private Practice

Private Practice, Knoxville, TN

The independent private practice of psychology as a health care provider necessitates that a new professional in psychology acquire a great deal of knowledge. Beyond the actual practice of psychology, knowledge is needed to make ethical decisions, to operate within the laws of one's state, and to operate a business. Additionally, the new professional needs methods for making the daily decisions required within private practice. Mentors in the private practice of psychology can help the new professional find such information and learn methods for making decisions. Aid from legal, business, and medical professionals is also an important resource for operating a private practice. The nature of private practice can easily create stress for the new professional. Self-management, case management, and stress management are important for practicing competently and comfortably within the private sector of health-related psychology.
