Private Practice - Season 2 TOP

The first half of the second season dealt with the practice's financial troubles. Naomi reveals to Addison that they are in danger of losing the practice due to unpaid debt causing Addison to tell Sam. This in turn causes a shift within the practice making Addison the new boss. Adding to the drama was the competition of a new practice, Pacific Wellcare. This new practice, located within the same building as Oceanside Wellness, was run by Charlotte causing turmoil for her and Cooper.

Another happening within this season is the dynamic between Sam and Naomi who by the finale realize they can no longer be friends as well as the deepening romantic relationship of Cooper and Charlotte. Addison was romantically linked with Kevin Nelson (played by David Sutcliffe), a police officer, but later realized their relationship was going nowhere. Towards the end of the season, Addison falls in love with cardiovascular surgeon Noah Barnes, who as it turns out, is married and is expecting his first child. Matters become more complicated when Addison realizes that Noah's wife is one of her patients. Archer Montgomery (Grant Show), Addison's playboy brother, also made sporadic appearances causing trouble for her and Naomi. Archer was found to be with an aggressive brain tumor which was later diagnosed as parasites. Addison sought the professional help of her ex-husband, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey). After Derek successfully saved Archer, Addison discovered he was back to his old tricks cheating on Naomi.

Violet stirred some of her own drama when she began dating Sheldon (Brian Benben), who works for Pacific Wellcare, and Pete. During the latter half of the season, Violet was found to be pregnant although she did not know who the father of her baby was. Furthermore, Violet found herself and her unborn baby at the mercy of a psychotic patient bent on taking Violet's baby by any means necessary in the closing moments of the season finale. Meanwhile, Dell struggled with his own issues caused by his former girlfriend's drug habits and the fight for custody of his daughter Betsey. Some of the medical cases that caused a stir and tension among the doctors at Private Practice was the issue of abortion (a first for the practice), the sex reassignment of a newborn, the sexual activity of a 12-year-old, the switching of embryos for two mothers-to-be and a young couple who later discovered they were siblings.

In the second season, Private Practice aired on Thursdays at 9pm (then 10pm) on Living, with the episode airing again (which aired that night) on Living+1 an hour later and on Living+2 two hours later.

Addison Forbes Montgomery is a renowned surgeon. Having left behind Seattle Grace Hospital, a broken marriage with Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd, and her torn relationship with Mark "McSteamy" Sloan, Addison moves to Los Angeles for sunnier weather and happier possibilities. For Addison, an old friend's invitation brings her to a new city and a new life full of promise. At Oceanside Wellness Group, the doctors are dedicated pros; it's their private lives that need a little practice.

Private Practice, renewed for a sixth season, has had a mixed run in its new home on Tuesday. The Kate Walsh drama lost 19 percent of its viewership in its first week in the new slot, but rebounded afterward -- with Rhimes using spoilers in an active Twitter campaign to raise awareness for the show's new night in its fifth season.

Another thing that I was not too fond of was the last season. Even though they had a heads up that this was going to be their last season it still felt rushed. It truly felt like a mess. Even each episode was shot in a different way. It was almost as if they were told the day before shooting that this is the last season. So then they had to go in and scramble a script together. This season was a flat liner of a season. It bummed me out because I was enjoying all 5 seasons. So it just stinks to spend so much time watching and getting to know these characters and then the writers do me like that? Sad. Even though I did not like the last season, I enjoyed the last episode. I love the endings they gave everyone.

In the last season there is an episode where Cooper is doing an inner monologue the whole time and looking at the camera. This to me was dumb. Just like Charlotte dancing and Sam having a reality TV series. It was unnecessary and it took me out of the show.

There was one episode with Sam in the last season that was a COMPLETE bust. They filmed it as they were filming a reality show. To me this was dumb and unnecessary. It was also a pretty monumental episode for Sam because he learned who is Dad was. So you have this HUGE reveal and it is done as a reality show. Ugh. I did not care for it. I would not have mind if this was the look they were going for. But they threw it in there so randomly and it did not make sense.

"My Own Private Practice Guy" is the seventeenth episode of Scrubs' second season. J.D. becomes friends with Dr. Peter Fisher (Jay Mohr). J.D. is blocked by Jordan as he tries to give news to Dr. Cox. Elliot becomes friends with the Janitor. Carla feels insecure about her attractiveness when she can't get a patient to collapse from sexual arousal. Turk and Dr. Kelso battle over Pac-Man.

J.D. becomes friends with Dr. Peter Fisher, a private practice doctor who tells J.D. secrets about Dr. Cox. Pete used to be Dr. Cox's student but for some reason, Dr. Cox loathes him and won't treat him with any decency or respect. Perry tells J.D. that Dr. Fisher is a bad person, but J.D. is drawn to his confidence and continues to help him treat a patient. Eventually, during an argument between Peter and Cox in the break room, it is revealed that Jordan cheated on Dr. Cox with Dr. Fisher, which led to their divorce.

Many therapists in private practice notice two low seasons. The first slow season typically occurs at the beginning of summer. The second slow down occurs during the winter holiday season. The low seasons can mean different things for different practices. The difference usually reflects the niche and client population that the practice serves. For example, an in-office practice that serves younger children or corporate professionals may notice a larger slow down than a practice that treats adults using telehealth.

Try to remind yourself, that this low season is very normal for therapy practices. Also, remind yourself, that this slow time is temporary and that business will resume at your typical pace very soon. You may even notice a spike in new clients as the new season begins.

Consider scheduling some time to work on professional development opportunities or streamline your practice. With less cognitive and emotional energy dedicated to therapy sessions, you may have more energy to expand your knowledge and resources.

With more open time on your calendar during the low seasons, consider revising or expanding your marketing practices. If you do not feel knowledgeable or confident about marketing, you can take this time for consultation, webinars, research, or other courses related to marketing in private practice.

Blogging: Blogs can help to promote your practice, add content to your website or social media page, and provide important information to your client population. Use this time to learn about blogging, creating your content, and reaching out to other sites for guest blogging.

Social media: Some therapists love it. Some therapists hate it. This slower time can allow you the space to learn more about social media and private practice, create content for your pages, and find relevant pages to follow.

Schedule one-on-one networking meetings: Since other professionals likely have gaps in their schedules as well, this slow season is a great time to reach out and schedule a coffee with another provider. Consider reaching out to someone you would like to get to know better or a follow-up with someone you already do know.

Running a business that has predictable low seasons allows you the opportunity to plan for it. You can get a better understanding of the specific patterns for your practice by running some analyses and comparing them over the past several years.

Low seasons in private practice are an inevitable part of the business. Preparing for it, using that time wisely, and giving yourself permission to take advantage of some quiet downtime will help you to make the most of it.
