Mental Health Practice: compare the models.
Look at the operating differences before comparing financial projections.
Back to all mental health practice models| Model | Earns from | Capacity constraints | Key distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual In-Person Practice | Completed appointment | Practitioner time, rooms and suitable equipment | One-to-one delivery consumes a practitioner slot for each client. |
| In-Person Therapeutic Groups | Student-session or course enrollment | Class timetable, room capacity and instructor coverage | Group delivery shares instructor time across students, unlike one-to-one appointments. |
| Employer-Site Counseling Team | Client contract-month, billed hour or service unit | Required shift coverage and agreed service levels | The paying customer is the host organization and the operator supplies defined physical coverage. |
| Independent Clinician Office Rental | Occupied space-period | Rentable spaces and lease occupancy | The operator is a space provider, not the employer or principal of the independent tenant businesses. |
