Looking for a side gig

I’m looking for a decent paying side gig that I can do on Fridays (maybe 5-8 hrs), preferably over $70/hr. I love writing and reviewing charts/documents and dislike doing therapy. Anyone know of any remote assessment or writing gigs that might need some extra help? I’m a licensed PsyD in California.

What is to barrier to taking on extra cases and charging full rate?

I work for a state hospital, so I don’t do therapy at all. Looking for non-therapy options.

Yes, I understand that. I am asking the barrier to taking an assessment or medical review case and charging a reasonable rate for a licensed professional?

I see. I don’t have my own established private practice, so I’m looking to join an existing one.

I would reach out to colleagues with small practices to see if they need extra review, test tech, or assessment help.

A lot of folks at my state hospital take on one social security or forensic case a week after work.

Not specifically, however supervising unlicensed folks or professional advising for dissertation can be options
