    Your Own Practice or Someone Else’s? The Reality of Being a Therapist

    What does it really mean to build your own private practice compared to working for someone else? In this episode of Serenity Through Art, Jessica explores the realities of working in a private practice, outpatient clinic, or building a practice of your own. From flexibility and independence to structure, support, business responsibilities, finances, and boundaries, we look at what can come with each path. Owning a practice can offer more control but it also means taking on responsibilities beyond being a therapist. Working for someone else can provide structure, teamwork, and support while also coming with its own expectations and limitations. This conversation isn't about which path is better. It's about asking a more personal question: What kind of professional life do you want to create? Plus, Jessica ends the episode with a creative reflection to help therapists explore which path or combination of paths fits where they are right now.
