Boundaries and Fees in Independent Practice

Boundaries and fees shape the structure of a private practice. Decisions about availability, communication, cancellations, payment, fee changes, and exceptions influence not only the financial health of the practice, but also the clarity and consistency experienced by clients. Boundaries and Fees in Independent Practice explores how these decisions develop and why they can become difficult to maintain. The course helps you examine the policies that organize your work, the pressures that can lead to inconsistency, and the relationship between professional responsibility, financial sustainability, and personal capacity. Rather than prescribing rigid rules or a single fee structure, the course guides you through making thoughtful decisions that are appropriate for your profession, practice, and circumstances. The goal is to establish boundaries and fee practices that are clear, fair, ethically responsible, and sustainable over time.
