Building a Private Practice Right Out of Grad School | Jarrod Hoffman | TPOT 437
Description
Can you really build a successful private practice right out of grad school?
In this episode of The Practice of Therapy Podcast, I talk with Jarrod Hoffman about building a private practice right out of grad school and the lessons he has learned in those early years of practice ownership.
Jarrod shares his experience of stepping into private practice, navigating pricing, working through imposter syndrome, and learning how to communicate the value of the work he does. We also talk about why niching matters, how our own stories often shape the clients we feel called to serve, and why private practice requires both strategy and internal growth.
This conversation is a great reminder that building a sustainable private practice is not just about getting more clients. It is about knowing your value, understanding the transformation you offer, and creating a practice with intention and purpose.
