Balancing Parenthood and a Play Therapy Practice

Running a play therapy practice while raising a family can feel like juggling two full-time jobs. But with the right strategies, it’s possible to find balance and thrive in both roles.

Tips for Achieving Work-Life Balance:

  1. Set Boundaries: Establish clear work hours and stick to them. This ensures you’re fully present for both your clients and your family.

  2. Delegate When Possible: Outsource tasks like billing or marketing to free up your time and reduce stress.

  3. Practice Self-Care: Prioritize your own mental health by scheduling regular downtime, exercise, and connection with loved ones.

  4. Streamline Your Workflow: Use tools like electronic health records (EHR) systems and scheduling apps to keep your practice organized and efficient.

By creating systems and seeking support, you can build a thriving practice without sacrificing family time.
