When Doctor TK started her part-time therapy, she had no idea of who she wanted to work with, had no clue where her office was going to be, and how much she wanted to charge. That’s primarily the reason why she does business coaching specifically for therapists. The story that she’s about to tell us in this episode is the story of many mental health clinicians. Join us as she reminisces the early days of her private practice as a healthcare clinician and her takeaways before she built it up into an internship site and a group practice in Cerritos
