In this episode, Kate shares invaluable insights for occupational therapists building or growing their private practice. She emphasizes the importance of protective policies and strategic practices that help prevent burnout while maximizing income.

Kate discusses the power of hiring a business manager (or creating a pseudo-role) to manage policies, client communication, and protect your time during challenging situations like cancellations and difficult client interactions. She explains how this simple step can create a safety net, freeing you to focus on providing high-quality therapy.

She also dives into the role of telehealth and flexible policies—from rescheduling to across-platform communication—that promote consistency and collaboration with families while reducing the risk of burnout. Kate highlights the importance of clear cancellation and no-show policies, protective session policies, and constant communication to build trust and ensure your practice runs smoothly.

Finally, Kate encourages therapists to stand confidently in the value of what they do, emphasizing that building a full-coverage, flexible model not only benefits families but also supports your own well-being and long-term success.

Key Takeaways:

• Implement policies that protect your time and income during cancellations and challenging sessions
• Use telehealth and collaboration tools to stay connected and consistent
• The importance of a team/support system—whether real or faux—to strengthen your practice
• Prioritize your well-being and value as a practitioner, because your health directly impacts your clients

If you're ready to elevate your practice, Kate invites you to schedule a coaching session—because you don’t have to do this alone. Get the support you need and build a practice that’s sustainable, impactful, and burnout-free.

Remember: Strong policies, a supportive system, and confidence in your value are the keys to success. Let’s grow together!
