To begin with, figure out how a professional psychotherapist differs from just a psychologist. To become a psychotherapist, you must have a higher medical education and receive an appropriate diploma in psychiatry. Only in this case you can treat psychosis. Next, you, as a graduate of a medical university, must undergo retraining and advanced training courses in an institution where psychologists are trained. As a rule, this is a university-based training center. Only after that you can officially be called a psychotherapist and treat neurosis.

The path to a small business, a person who has all of the above diplomas, is open and simple. To begin, rent yourself an office. At the very first time, you can find a room with an hourly rental - this will help to save a lot.

Also, do not forget about the salary of an accountant, a cash register or strict reporting forms, a computer, a cleaning lady, a secretary on the phone, and, of course, the design of the room. As practice shows, a beginning psychologist has 40 thousand rubles of net profit per month. The cost of his hourly consultation is from 500 to 800 rubles. The number of meetings with a client until his problem is completely resolved ranges from one to ten.

So there is no need to be afraid of additional costs, it should be enough for everything.

Pay special attention to the design of your permanent office. It should contribute to the psychological relaxation of the patient - the appropriate color scheme, comfortable chairs, soft music - all this needs to be thought out or entrusted to a professional designer. If you plan your business correctly, having considered everything to the smallest detail, then in the future you can become the owner of a very successful psychological office.
