From Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur: Real-World Advice for Starting a Recreational Therapy Practice
Private practice in Recreational Therapy is on the rise—for good reason. It gives Recreational Therapists opportunities to work on their terms, serve niche populations, and build something uniquely their own. However, stepping into entrepreneurship can feel overwhelming without a roadmap. To help bridge the gap between dream and reality, we gathered real-world advice from Recreational Therapists already working in private practice. We wanted to know what they wish they had known before they started, what has helped them succeed, and how they keep showing up even when their work gets challenging.
Interested in starting or strengthening your private practice? Check out our upcoming Advance Your Practice Summit: Recreational Therapy Entrepreneurial Leadership (May 1-June 1, 2025). This virtual event is designed for Recreational Therapy professionals eager to expand their knowledge and grow their private practices. This Summit will offer insights on business strategies, funding opportunities, and facilitate networking with like-minded professionals.
