The Journey into Private Practice and Beyond with Dr. Marie Fang
When Dr. Marie Fang decided to become a psychologist, she had no plans to open her own private practice or start a YouTube channel on building a sustainable therapy business.
And yet, the journey to getting licensed took her down a totally different path that not only allows her to support her clients but also serve the therapist community at large.
In this episode of Starting a Counseling Practice Success Stories, Dr. Marie Fang shares her unexpected journey into private practice.
She covers everything from why she wanted to get involved in the field to what it was like working in two wildly contrasting group practice environments to the decision to become self-employed — and even branch out with her own YouTube channel!
Check out the full interview here for Dr. Marie Fang’s private practice journey (and beyond).
