If you have already found a therapist who is interested in a deal like this, and you can back yourself, I think it is a very good plan. It is especially nice if you don't have to "buy out" the practice. And, phsing you in, makes a huge difference in how the transition goes.

It is rare that one finds a therapist willing to go this route, but I wish more therapists would use it. It not only helps the outgoing therapist and clients, but the new therapist as well. A win-win-win when it all goes smoothly!

I may have made $12.50 last year. Big improvment from the year before, where I lost quite a bit more than that.

Leener,

How long ago did you go to school? How many people in your class?

Hi greatlakes! I graduated in 1998, and we had 9 in our class. I think it would be even harder now with the glut of therapists flooding in from so many schools popping up and the promises of big money.

I talked to both therapists today. The one who is helping me by mentoring me, and the one I will be taking over for. I have to tell you that I absolutly love this woman. She has been a Therapist for over 50 years, she is almost 70. She has no formal schooling but has had continuing education training and has a license (she was grandmothered (her term)). I met her at her clinic and it was real nice, I felt very comfortable there. We had scheduled to talk for an hour. After 4 and 1/2 hours I invited her to dinner where we talked for another hour and 1/2. I felt like I was spending time with my family. She told me after dinner that she would feel blessed if I would help her with her transition period into retirement. I will start training with her on Monday. I believe this was suppose to happen. I will meet her clients by working in the clinic first. Then we will start working togather with them and letting them know that I will be taking over in the future. It looks like I am living in a very blessed place right now. I will try and keep everyone posted as to how this works out. It seems like the perfect answer to both of us. Maybe we should incourage this for others.....
