For the past two weeks, I have been looking for a new office space. It seems like I have finally found one today. It will be in SOHO (if all the details worked out), at the corner of Thompson and Prince Street (NEAR TOMOE!!!). Now the scary part is to have patients so I can maintain the rent. I always want to know what is it like to have a private practice. I am not really going to make money out of it, but hey, life is about trying out different things. Hopefully this can be a good start. REFERRALS ARE WELCOME!!
IN CASE YOU WANT TO REFER SOMEONE, HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF MY SERVICE:

congratulations! i'm sure that it will be very successful. if you've seen any of woody allen's movies you know that there's no shortage of people in new york who see psychologists and therapists. don't spend all of your profits at tomoe ...
too bad my insurance do not cover mental health or else I can come over an talk about my problems, like Basketball, Video games...
開張大吉! BTW, do you accept insurance, I think our insurance cover mental health... maybe I will bring Baby Nana there to talk about her childhood... :)
You quit teaching? Looks Like your patients will be reading comics in the waiting room...
Awesome!!
Do you only serve adult patients? What specialty of psychotherapy will you practice in this office?
nana: last night [sob] i was crying [sob] and mom and dad just kept on sleeping [sobs] ...
Thanks for everyone's support. Now the hard part is to find patients.. Since I am in SOHO, I guess I can said I have specialty in HIV and gay issues as well. Teaching is fun, but doing therapy is more fun:)
so, if you know someone who wants to talk about basketball (i.e. "why my wife won't let me play.") or videogames (i.e. "I already broke 5 keyboards so far..."), send them to me:)
and to Nana..., "life is suffering, so get used to it.":)
so what is your business hour?
do you do group therapy? maybe we can have a party at your new office as group therapy...:-)
My working hour is weekday night. talking about no life... working six days a week without a rest at night. very different than my last job.
Are you in great debt?
That's great! I'm always near NYU nowadays, maybe I can stop by to say hi when you are less busy! And since it's so close to Chinatown, you can always get Boba Milk Tea! :)
do you take insurance?
do you still have your health psychology website? you could advertise it online. find out how much google adsense costs. it must be cheaper than world journal newspaper.
