The Psych NP: Running a Private Practice - One Year Update

[@robertthompson6091]

Hey Fabius, great new video and thanks for update. Things have really come along for your practice. My private consultation with you on starting up one's own practice was very helpful and informative. I am getting closer to my own goal of starting up my own practice. I am currently searching out office space. You are truly inspiring to me and look forward to another consultation! Robert

[@ThePsychNP]

Robert, thank you so much. It was a pleasure speaking with you. I am glad to hear things are starting to come along and excited to watch/hear about your journey! 🙏

[@SAIDM718]

@@ThePsychNP do you still do private consultations?

[@melanismith589]

Can you do a video on medication management? Your reasons to increase, decrease or change a medication? Books you use that gives tips on what to prescribe? Rules for certain medications when writing prescriptions... etc I would like to see a video on this.

So helpful! Thank you for your transparency. It was cool to watch your entire demeanor change as you grew in confidence and census. Congrats! Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to open a practice. Just need an 8th day in the week to make it happen 😂

Thank you for this video! Why are you looking for a therapist versus a PMHNP?

[@kamonmack9262]

Such a small world...i used to work with Ritu at northwell...excellent nurse....pretty sure she is an excellent NP...was wondering what state you are in??....i did hear that it is harder in some states than others to start an np practice...could you shine a light on that please

[@AC-fp7ns]

Missing your uploads man! Hope all is well

Man this really inspires me to grind!! Thank you for this video... really gives me hope of what I can do when I finish np school too. Wish you the best man. Really hope ur practice grows more and more!

[@anthonystrocks247]

How did you grow so quickly in a year???

[@bradleywilliamson7311]

I love your videos and watching your practice grow! Thanks for being transparent about your process and providing so much inspiration. I am in my 2nd semester of a PMHNP program. I am a critical care nurse as well. How was your transition from ICU to Psych? Any advice?

Thank you Sean 🙏

[@migueltacos1610]

UGH! You're renewing my interest in doing psych NP in my own practice. But my wife is trying to talk me into FNP bc she seems to think the market is too saturated for psych. She almost had me until I started watching your vids. Any opinions?

[@EkaterinaDark1]

Love your office, I think you need some beautiful paintings in your office :)))

[@livenow397]

Hi, thank you for sharing your journey. Are you required by your state to collaborate with a Psychiatrist?

[@hanhan9326]

Good sir can you try and post vlogs? like a day in the life of a psych np running a private practice

[@alexpeguero38]

Crazy! That new psych np is my friend, we worked as an RN together. I will be in touch with her :)

Alex, its a small world!

Hi Fabius, As opposed to your 6 month update has their been drastic changes to you expected income. Is it less due to hiring more staff. And most importantly how’s your dad? Does he miss the office?

[@temi1990]

Glad to know you’re doing great. Currently back in school for my post certificate in Psych. Do you mind precepting next year. A Response will be greatly appreciated. Struggling to find a preceptor in my area. I have the opportunity for 250hrs for telehealth.

What’s the music at the start of your videos? I like it and would like to look it up... Thank you!

Do you or in general, PMHNP, provide therapy? Can you solely provide tradition therapy like a LCSW?

What do you do about personal health insurance for you and your spouse?

[@bryon261]

You’re inspiring me! I made my first video was trying to shout you out and had a brain fart! I will be shouting you out for sure next video! It’s such a process to start on your own but when I get discouraged I watch your videos for inspiration! Thank you for your channel. My Channel one video so far is SaVyNP.

[@ThePsychNP]

Thank you Sav, good luck with everything. Don't get discouraged!

[@nothing563019]

Thanks so much for making all these vids and the help youve provided. Quick question do you think there would be a demand for psych NP's doing telebealth work during overnight hours?

[@Steven-ml6cd]

Are you currently of the opinion that new grads should not start their own practice? I ask bc I am interviewing for a job that is pretty much autonomous when working with (out)patients with the ability to bounce ideas in between them or after hours. But that seems like the same setup for a private practice with a paid collaborator. Just curious on your thoughts. Thanks! Just subbed and love the channel!

[@thehelm658]

no new grads should NOT even think about having a private practice.

[@tenzintashi9527]

Looking good boss! Btw how are you working on just a laptop with telehealth and charting? Don’t you think y’all need desktop computers?

[@ThePsychNP]

Tenzin, good question! A lot of us like using laptop computers versus desktops especially since we also have patients coming into the office. Having a huge screen can block your view with the patient and seem a lot less personable. If it's telehealth we can just drag the video feed in front of our notes while typing which is pretty easy. I use a desktop computer when I am working from home but when I'm at the office or anywhere else it's the laptop. I've been thinking about getting one for the front desk though!

[@tenzintashi9527]

How are you able to open a practice without physician oversight?

[@abisolawilliams7852]

Do you think you can explain briefly (in the comments) the difference between a Psych NP and Therapists?

[@ThePsychNP]

Hello Abisola, the main difference is Psych NPs can prescribe medication and perform psychotherapy (Much less training for therapy though compared to actual therapists (LCSW and LCPCs) while therapists can just perform psychotherapy
