Practice Opportunity

Looking for a more relaxed setting to practice? Take over my practice in friendly, laid-back East Texas!  I'm retiring before the end of the year from a surprisingly lucrative, independent practice in a small town where I'm the only Psychologist for 35 miles around, and I enjoy very collegial relationships with physicians, surgeons, and other professionals.

Very rarely am I paged or called after hours. Much of my practice is by word of mouth now, so I will introduce you to top referral sources which should help pave the way for you also to have a very successful practice in this peaceful niche in Texas. If you want to work forty hours a week, you could easily generate a six-figure income. This part of Texas is known for country living, big trees, fields of grazing cattle, horses, fishing, and hunting with major metro areas just a couple of hours away for all the big city pluses one might need.

The right fit for the community will need to be a Christian Psychologist skilled at working with patients age 5 to 75 with issues ranging from anxiety, depression, bipolar, stress, attention (ADHD),  lap band procedural work-ups, and cognitive decline. I have a well-rounded practice that includes consults, assessments/testing, and counseling/psychotherapy. 

Sound like what you've been dreaming of?  If so, contact me at drflournoy@suddenlinkmail.com or R.L. Flournoy, Ph.D., PO Box 1332, Mt. Pleasant, TX 75456. 

(Home on nearby Main Street with acreage available separately if desired. Moving closer to grandkids.)
