The question is would I see someone whose therapy practice was a side business to their regular job and the answer is no I wouldn't. I have been burned before and wouldn't again.

There are multiple reasons that distract one from a business and they are all perfectly reasonable and understandable. A person who is juggling two very demanding jobs needs to be able to do it well, I would not take the risk that a person could not juggle it well and simply be discarded by the other job demands like my mental health doesn't mean anything.
