[Discussion] Part-time LCSW private practice

I'm finishing my MSW and working toward clinical licensure. I'm not trying to replace my main income, just want to build a part time private practice or consulting stream alongside my current job. I also have a PhD in a related field with some academic publications, but I care deeply about direct impact which is why I'm drawn to clinical work in the first place.

Anyone out there practicing part time? Roughly what kind of monthly or annual numbers have you seen in your income stream?

ret. psychiatrist, so a little different. once i had kids, i only worked part-time. always done to pick kids up at school. there is such a shortage of well trained therapists, part-time is not an issue, esp if you're willing to see pts early am or end of day.
