Have you ever thought about starting your own psychology business?  

When I talk to psychologists about what motivates them to become contractors or self-employed I hear a range of responses.  The most common one is flexibility. 

​

Flexibility One of the perks of starting your own psychology business is the flexibility it offers. You have the freedom to set your own schedule, choose your preferred therapy modalities, and cater to specific client demographics or niche markets. Whether you prefer to work part-time, full-time, in-person, or online, the choice is yours.

​

Other reasons are: 

Autonomy As a business owner, you have full control over how you run your practice. You can design your own treatment protocols, and create therapy programs, that align with your values and expertise.

 

Financial Potential: While the primary motivation for becoming a psychologist is a desire to help others, it's worth noting that starting a psychology business can also be financially rewarding.

I've had several psychologists discover that working a contractor with flexible hours earns them as much, if not more, than working as a full-time employee, enabling them to take on further study or spend more time with their young children without compromising their current lifestyle. 

In fact,  with a solid client base, you have the potential to generate a stable income and build long-term wealth as a self-employed psychologist or as a practice owner.  

​

Personal Fulfillment Perhaps the most compelling reason to start a new business as a psychologist is the sense of personal fulfillment that comes from making a meaningful difference in people's lives.  You may decide to set up catering for a niche that you're passionate about  As your own boss, you're able to run your business in a way that's integral to you and your values.
