Retirement for Therapists

Purchase $100

We are blessed being a profession that doesn’t enforce mandatory retirement upon us when we reach a certain age. (The majority of people who are no longer working didn’t stop voluntarily…) Clients see our aging and grey hair as wisdom. We can work as much, or as little, as we choose. There will come a time when you are ready to stop working – and retirement has a number of issues you must address before you can retire…

And there might come a time when circumstances beyond your control – death, disability, illness, incapacity and/or care giving – will prohibit you from continuing. You will do yourself, and your family well by planning for this in advance.

We will discuss therapeutic issues, notification, records, liability, creating a professional will, and identifying a professional executor. We also will discuss whether or not you are financially prepared for retirement.

There are substantial handouts and resources provided, so you can focus on the discussions and not spend all of your time taking notes…

  • Preparing a Professional Will and identifying a Professional Executor
