From Poetry to Private Practice with Jamey

In this episode, Miranda Palmer sits down with Dr. Jamey, a New York-based psychoanalyst and therapist who made the bold switch from a career as a literature professor to private practice.

Jamey shares how his love for the humanities infuses his therapy work, the challenges and rewards of starting over in midlife, and the nitty-gritty of building a thriving practice - including dealing with insurance, setting fees, and embracing your unique therapeutic style.

If you’re looking for honest insights and practical tips on creating a meaningful private practice, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
