Is savy marketing enough to succeed in private psychotherpy practice?
Most Psychotherapists including Psychiatrists most supplement any income from private practice with earnings received from a part-time or full-time job in Psychology, Clinical Social Work or Psychiatry.
Psychotherapists who are MFTs, LPCs or MHCs must generaly work in unrelated jobs as there no related jobs that require licenses in Marriage Counseling, Professional Counseling or Mental Health Counseling.
Managed Health Care Organizations determine the rate of reimbursement for all panel providers whose fees are paid by Insurance Carriers.
Post Graduate Training and specialization is far more important for success than marketing.
