I really like your videos where you are carrying your daughter. It works wonders for children's sense of security & you are playing a part in normalising women carrying their children on them while doing what they like . 🙂

I did it my first year!! I wish people knew how easy it is if you have a strategic plan. Completely solo. I didnt use headway or other companies. I do all of my own credentialing, billing, and have very low overhead costs. I make just about 100% profit and my tax setup for my PLLC is saving me thousands per year.

Binge watching your videos has gave me hope to tailor my private practice. I'm a new therapist and already feel burnout creeping in. I have a plan now. Thanks so much!

Is this possible only for PhD PsyD or also MA in Counseling/Psychology?

If you were to sell products, what are some limitations? For instance, if I wanted to create a workbook for a niche such as parenting skills, would it have to be a separate business (I.e., can’t display on practice website)? Also, would I need to list my credentials on materials even if it was a separate business or keep it off? Should I include disclaimers (ie not a therapy replacement; not required for existing clients)? Could I be sold on Amazon?

I'm so happy I found your channel!!!

What I need to learn to be therapist and

[markwalsh]

okay, I'm watching your videos, but I have not idea what you do therapy for?

[samanthanusom]

Great video! I would be interested in selling something, but I have no idea what it would be. Thinking outside of the box is difficult for me, lol. How do we go about figuring out what we could be able to sell?

[andersonschuyler]

Thank you for your videos! They have been a huge help in starting my own practice! Would love to sell an anger management and depression and anxiety control, group curriculums. How do you develop curriculums and be able to sell them, having them be accepted as therapeutic?

[rileyblanton]

I have dreams of doing all 3 😅😅 one day!!

[katieclark]

What do you mean by products? Like an anxiety workbook and the like?

[anneschultz]

Do you have any advice on how to find clients who are able to pay $125? I'm an LCSW, only doing telehealth, licensed in NY and FL. I'm on psychology today and a few other places but I haven't had many people looking to pay put of pocket more thank $100. Thanks!

[stephenwertheim]

Dr Fang, thank you so much for your channel. I find your work absolutely invaluable. I’m starting a new (“broad brush “) practice in a rural town, and it’s time to approach the doctors to introduce myself. Could you please advise me about the process and content of such a meeting? How do I do it?

Thank you so much in advance!

Can we start our private clinic without experience?

[scalamasterelectros]

Wow a good example off how to be a real independent mom

[theuntoldpsychology]

I wanna start my own clinic but it’s very expensive 🥺

[jonathanlorio]

Can your earning potential be affected by what school you choose to go to? In my case, afford to go to? 🤣😭 I wanted to attend Santa Clara University but it’s super expensive, and San José State seems to have the same opportunity to get my LMFT/LPCC dual license I wanted from Santa Clara’s program. Does being successful in private practice become affected by where you go? 😭

I don’t understand how you can charge 200$ a session and not make 6 figures
