Following Your Inner Compass in Private Practice with Jerry

How do you make decisions in private practice that allow you to grow and evolve your business from a place of authenticity? And how much time and space do you have for figuring out what you really want in your personal life and private practice?

For Jerry, discovering his path in private practice began with slowing down and listening to his body and mind — or, as he likes to call it, his inner compass. Jerry is a therapist in Columbia, MO, providing grief counseling and working with older adults and their caregivers.

Because having a successful business does NOT mean you have to follow all the latest marketing trends or be a highly social extrovert who’s always networking with other therapists and healing professionals. It’s about connecting with yourself and your clients in a way that’s authentic and natural — to you and to the people you support.

In this episode, Columbia, Missouri grief counseling therapist Jerry shares how he transitioned into a private practice therapist, how his understanding of what he could do as a business owner expanded with experience, the value of collaborative relationships, and how quiet reflection has directly impacted his Private Practice Success Story.
