I'm retiring from what was once the public community mental health system but was privatized some 10-15 years ago. I am keeping my private practice, and want to grow it just a bit - I will need the income. But now that word is out I will have more time available for the private practice, have more people calling and requesting an assessment and therapy than I really want. I don't want a full time practice, and did not anticipate this. I'm even a bit baffled. I'm confident I am a competent clinician, but also confident I am no more than competent.

Will need to reflect on Amos' #2 above.
