We chat about life in a large urology group practice (a huge part of urology service delivery in the USA), why there appears to be a drop in interest in Fellowship training, and his experience of managing advanced prostate cancer in a large urology group practice. Ben, who is also Secretary of the Large Urology Group Practice Association in the USA, has a lot of interest in gathering real world data from large urology group practices, and shares with us some data on the use of ARPIs in mHSPC which has recently been accepted for publication. This is a Themed Podcast supported by our Gold Partners, Johnson & Johnson.

Donna Sky on Employee Ownership, Legacy, and the Future of Private Practice. Lemme ask the group practice owners a question: What's your business plan for the end of capitalism? OK, so we're not quite there yet, but "something" is pushing private practices closer to the cliff's edge of capitalism, the inevitable collapse of unbridled growth for no other reason than greed. Group practice owners who want to land safely should prepare for what comes next. Employee ownership (EO) could be what's next. Donna Sky is senior manager of business and engagement and partnerships at Project Equity. This national non-profit helps business owners explore EO and build more equitable, resilient workplaces and communities.  "There have been a lot of success stories," Donna says. "The first step is to think about what's important to you and then educate yourself." Group Practice (R)evolution is a podcast series offering insights from owners, employees, and experts, and resources to support this wildly ambitious vision for the future. Become a part of the (R)evolution in our Authentic Leaders Group. Join the waitlist for the next Authentic Leaders Group cohort.

Opening a group practice can feel like the obvious next step once your private practice is full and you're turning away potential clients every week. But too often, therapists make that decision from a place of scarcity instead of strength, and that's exactly why it backfires.In today's episode, I'm sharing the three questions I wish every therapist would answer before hiring their first clinician. If you can't confidently say yes to all three, opening a group practice probably isn't your next best move—at least not yet.I'm diving into whether you genuinely have an abundance of time and money (or just enough demand to feel busy and stretched), what consistent long-term demand really looks like, and the identity shift from clinician to business owner that catches so many therapists by surprise.If you're thinking about expanding into a group practice, these three questions will help you decide whether you're truly ready and give you a roadmap for what needs to happen first.Topics covered on Opening A Group Practice:The one financial question that decides whether you're expanding from strength or scarcityFull private practice isn't always the green light for opening a group practiceThe uncomfortable gut check: would you feel excited or a little sick handing your favorite clients to someone elseThe identity shift nobody warns you about, and why it lights some therapists up and wrecks othersResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistRelated episodes: Growing Your Group Practice: Why Your First Hire Should Be A 'Mini-You' w/ Nicole McCance [Ep 124]What You Need to Know Before Hiring a Team Member for Your Private Practice [Ep 17]Quote:"A group practice adds complexity, it adds responsibility, and it adds overhead before it adds freedom."

Could doubling your practice be more achievable than you think? Which growth strategy would have the biggest impact on your business right now? Are you building a practice that depends entirely on you, or one that can grow beyond you? Joe Sanok explores whether starting a group practice is the fastest path to growing a private practice and explains why aiming to double your business can be both realistic and impactful. He shares practical strategies for increasing revenue, from raising rates and seeing more clients to creating passive income, while highlighting hiring clinicians as the quickest way to scale.  Joe also breaks down the key systems for attracting and converting new clients, discusses ethical ways to gather reviews and feedback, and encourages practice owners to find the right support system so they can grow with confidence rather than figuring it all out alone.

What if the problem isn't that you're not working hard enough at all…What if the problem is that you've built a business that no longer feels like you?As part of our Summer Replay Series, I'm bringing back one of my favorite conversations — and it is just as powerful today as it was when we first recorded it.Maira Holzmann is a somatic therapist, group practice owner, and business coach whose approach to business is refreshingly different.Rather than chasing someone else's definition of success, she set out to build a business that reflected her deepest values, honored her strengths, and supported the life she actually wanted to live.Please — if you ever feel like you're having to sacrifice your Self in order to build your business — listen to this.Because in this episode, you'll hear...Why alignment matters just as much as strategy when growing your business.How Maira found the courage to rebuild even when nothing felt like it was working…The oh-so-powerful mindset shifts that helped her stop playing small. Period.What it means to build a business from the inside out.See here's the thing.Your success will feel completely different if it's rooted in your values instead of your ego, when you make decisions, take action, and craft your practice in the way that feels deeply true to who you are.Deeply true to who you are…And you'll still make good money, have a life, and feel wonderful about the work you do.Doesn't get any better than that, does it?So check it out. And let me know how this lands for you.If this conversation resonates, I'd love to hear what stood out most. And if someone comes to mind who needs this reminder right now, share the episode with them!  Not to sound over the top - but really - you could change someone's life.~WendyP.S. One of my favorite moments in this conversation comes near the very end, when I asked Maira what one last bit of wisdom she felt called to share. What she said has stayed with me ever since. I hope it stays with you, too. And if you know someone else who needs to hear this, please share it with them._____________TODAY'S GUEST: MAIRA HOLZMANNMaira Holzmann, LCSW passionately works at the intersection of being a seasoned therapist running a growing group practice and a business coach for soul-aligned therapists who want to stop feeling overworked, underpaid and unappreciated.

Ever feel like your group practice is running you instead of the other way around? Yeah, you're not alone. That's why Uriah sat down with his friend Whitney Owens, founder of Wise Practice Consulting and one of the smartest group practice owners he knows, for her fifth time on the show. They got into the systems that keep a growing practice from turning into chaos, and the kinds of overwhelm almost every owner runs into along the way. In this episode, they talk about the first systems you need to get right (intake, billing, and hiring), why hiring for values beats hiring for experience, the real reasons group practice owners feel so overwhelmed, and how a solid team and good SOPs can give you the freedom to step away when life calls for it. Whether you're in year one or year ten, building your first systems or fine-tuning the ones you've got, this one will help you grow without burning out.

Transitioning from a clinician to a CEO is the ultimate hurdle in dental practice ownership. In this episode of Practice Underwater, Dr. George Hariri and Elizabeth navigate the "logistical nightmare" of scaling an eight-month-old practice that is already bursting at the seams. With 3,000 patients and only six operatories, Elizabeth faces a pivotal choice: stay in a challenging second-floor space or chase a "shiny object" real estate deal with mismatched timelines.George reframes the traditional dental business ownership mindset by challenging the urge to move too soon. They break down the ROI of a $43,000 construction project to add two operatories versus the capital-intensive trap of buying a building that doesn't fit the long-term vision. This is a survival guide for any dentist wrestling with dental growth strategies and the fear of patient attrition.The conversation pivots to the "Mega Group" concept, where George introduces the power of the 12-operatory model. For those pursuing sustainable dental practice growth, reaching 12 operatories allows for a three-doctor rotation, providing the owner with the "school schedule" flexibility they crave without sacrificing dental practice profitability. Elizabeth gains clarity on why settling in her current space—for now—is the fastest way to hire an associate and preserve her patient base. Ready to scale your dental practice ownership?Visit https://sharedpractices.com/ for our "Free Look" service and follow our social channels for roadmap updates.

In this episode of Practice Underwater, Dr. George Hariri sits down with a dentist, Elizabeth, to discuss the initial hurdles she faced following an associate to owner transition.They analyze her impressive growth as a new dentist, jumping from a projected $1.2M to a $1.4M finish within eight months, while exploring dental business strategies to manage a bursting 3,000-patient base with only 11 hygiene days.The core strategic debate centers on whether to simplify the schedule via a fee-for-service model or expand into a multi-doctor setup by hiring another dentist, a dilemma complicated by real estate constraints discussed through a Shared Practices framework.This is a must-listen for any dentist weighing the long-term flexibility of group practice against the streamlined profitability of staying solo.In this episode:• Scaling production from a projected $1.2M pace to over $1.4M.• Managing a bottleneck of 3,000 patients with only 11 hygiene days.• The strategic debate: dropping insurance versus hiring an associate.• Evaluating real estate options for a growing team.• Balancing clinical autonomy with family flexibility.Whether navigating an associate to owner transition or vetting acquisitions in dentistry, this is your survival guide.

Scaling your therapy practice doesn't have to mean hiring a team of clinicians, dealing with HR headaches, or becoming a group practice owner overnight. If you've hit an income ceiling with one-to-one sessions but the idea of running a group practice makes you want to run in the opposite direction, this episode is going to feel like a long-overdue exhale.I'm walking you through three fun, doable ways to scale your therapy practice without ever managing a single employee. We're talking therapy intensives that let you earn more without stacking more weekly sessions, retreats that open up a completely different way of working with people, and workshops that help you test ideas and reach clients your therapy license can't reach.Most therapists think their only options are staying solo forever and running a full group practice. But there's a third option that lets you serve more people, make more money, and keep your business lean and values aligned. One of these paths might surprise you. I jumped in headfirst and made a mistake I'd want you to avoid before you try it yourself.Topics covered on Scale Your Therapy Practice:Therapy intensives are the easiest first step to scale your therapy practice without adding more weekly sessions to your scheduleRetreats let you work with people in ways the traditional therapy container simply does not allow and there are a few things you need to have in place before you lead oneOffering workshops is one of the smartest ways to test a bigger idea before you fully commit to itHere's how therapists with a growing online audience are serving people outside their licensed area without providing therapyYou can still be a company of one even as you scale your therapy practice and what that looks like in real life is probably not what you are imaginingConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessRelated episodes:Replace One Month of Private Practice Income by Leading One High-Ticket Retreat Per Year [Ep 64]Essential Legal Tips for Therapists Planning Wellness Retreats with Lisa Fraley [Ep 68]How Therapy Intensives Can Rescue Your Private Practice from the Summer Scaries [Ep 119]The Anatomy of a $20K Month for Solo Therapists (It's Simpler Than You Think) [Ep 149]Hosting a Profitable Retreat: How Sarah Lazarewicz Added $3,000 To her Income With Her First Retreat [Ep 150]Therapy Intensives Might Be the Income Solution You're Sitting On When You're Booked Out [Ep 158]Grow Your Private Practice with Me in Your Corner:How Rio Doubled Her Monthly Revenue [Ep 80]Quote:"You are not boxed into the either stay solo forever or start a group practice binary.

Sarah explores sociocracy with Ted Rau, discussing models of shared leadership, and what it really takes to bridge the gap between overwhelmed owners and under-resourced clinicians. Our third cohort of the Authentic Leaders Group starts this spring and it's got me thinking about systems that need to change. While change may be inevitable, it's far from easy. That's especially true in the therapy field.  Our clients and culture are undergoing sweeping evolution and so too must group practice. How do we bridge the gap between employees and owners when both feel overworked and underpaid?  Sociocracy could be the answer.  Why group practice feels unsustainable right now: Exploring the growing disconnect between owners and clinicians—and how burnout, compensation, and evolving cultural needs are pushing the current model to its limits. What sociocracy offers instead: Insights from Ted Rau on consent-based governance, shared decision-making, and how "circles" can distribute power, responsibility, and accountability. The real question behind systems change: What it actually asks of us—owners releasing control, clinicians stepping into leadership—and whether the field is ready to experiment with more equitable, collaborative ways of working. I'm committed to having more of these system-focused, heart-centered conversations. I hope you are, too. Join our Authentic Leaders Group! Next cohort starts May 1, 2026. This is a journey of self-discovery and leadership mastery, where you'll not only enhance your leadership skills but also forge meaningful connections with fellow therapists who are committed to their own growth and the betterment of the therapy field.

How Kristen Wynns built an award-winning practice without insurance dependence and with a good dose of humor. Group practice owners have a decision to make right now: continue treading water or get more creative in how they operate. The field of therapy is lucky to have many examples of group practice owners who embody innovative leadership. One of those is my "conference bestie", Dr. Kristen Wynns, author, speaker, and founder of Wynns Family Psychology.  Three things practice owners take away from this conversation: You're the owner, not the micromanager. How you delegate tasks, build team confidence, and accept feedback is what either inspires or discourages your team. Fiascos often lead to fresh starts. Humans are terrified of making changes, but sometimes you've just got to take advantage of a surprise reset, even if you don't think you're ready. Times change. So must your practice. New tech! New employees! New competition! Build in time for periodic recalibration. GUEST BIO Dr. Kristen Wynns is a psychologist, author, comedian, and speaker who blends mental health expertise with humor. As founder of Wynns Family Psychology, an award-winning private practice with four locations in NC, and "Kiki" on stage, she empowers others to use laughter for healing, confidence, and connection. *** Join the Group Practice (R)evolution!

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech. In our latest episode, we share a PSA for group practice owners to address unauthorized AI use within your practice. We discuss: What we mean by governance What counts as Protected Health Information (PHI) The standard we use at PCT to determine if something is PHI Why AI tools like ChatGPT are inappropriate for PHI De-identification standards under HIPAA Ethical standards and informed consent for clinical use of AI Concrete next steps to take as a practice leader to address AI use in your practice Listen here: https://personcenteredtech.com/group/podcast/ For more, visit our website.   PCT Resources: Article + 18 Identifier List: De-Identified or Not? The Truth About HIPAA, AI, and Client Data In this article, Person Centered Tech breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in HIPAA compliance: de-identification. It clarifies the difference between simply "removing identifiers" and meeting HIPAA's strict legal standards for de-identification (Safe Harbor or Expert Determination). The piece explains why narrative clinical information is often inherently identifying, why a session transcript cannot realistically be considered de-identified, and how AI systems introduce heightened risks of re-identification. It reinforces a critical takeaway for practice leaders: HIPAA sets the floor—not the ceiling—for protecting client information, and governance must keep pace with emerging technologies. PCT CE Course: Law & Ethics of the Clinical Use of Artificial Intelligence: Implications in Clinical Practice If you're wanting a deeper, structured framework for evaluating AI in clinical practice, this 3-credit legal-ethical on-demand training with Eric Ström, JD, PhD, LMHC, walks through the evolving legal standards, HIPAA considerations, and ethics code guidance that apply to AI use in behavioral health. You'll gain practical strategies for assessing new technologies, understanding emerging standards of care, and implementing AI tools in a way that is legally defensible and ethically sound. PCT CE Course: Modern Progress Notes: Considerations for Teletherapy, Insurance Audits, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) If your clinicians are feeling the pull to use AI for documentation, this 1.5-credit legal-ethical training with Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey (Hall) provides a grounded, practical framework for evaluating that decision. The course addresses how AI is currently being used in progress notes and introduces a clear thought rubric for determining the ethical risks, compliance implications, and appropriateness of integrating AI into documentation workflows. It also reinforces core documentation principles—like medical necessity and audit risk reduction—so that efficiency never comes at the expense of defensibility. A strong next step for practice leaders who want to move from reactive prohibition to thoughtful, structured governance.

When the world is burning, old business paradigms collapse—here's what replaces them. Self-assessment time. For group practice owners: Do your internal systems align with the company's client-facing messaging? For group practice employees: Is fear (of failure, of retaliation) holding you back from calling out harmful behaviors or leaving altogether?  Alicia Murray, LMHCD, is the creator of Therapist HQ, a digital platform for therapists ready to transition into entrepreneurship. I invited Alicia to discuss how group practice employees can protect themselves against extractive policies and how group practice owners can revamp their misaligned structures.   GUEST BIO Alicia Murray, LMHCD, based out of Syracuse, NY, is a group practice owner and consultant for therapists going into private practice. In-between sessions, you can find her binging TLC shows, spending time with her husband and two young children, or hitting up her favorite coffee shops and ice cream stands.

Building a seven-figure group practice does not have to mean burnout, chaos, or abandoning your clinical values. In this episode, I'm officially kicking off the Seven Figure Therapist Series with someone I immediately thought of when therapists kept asking me if this level of growth was even possible. Dr. Leah Clionsky joins me to pull back the curtain on how she built a thriving, private pay group practice rooted in evidence-based care, premium pricing, and sustainability. Leah never set out to chase a revenue milestone, yet by building a practice she was deeply proud of and relentlessly focused on profit, she crossed seven figures and continues to scale year after year. We talk candidly about what actually makes a group practice financially viable and emotionally sustainable. Leah shares how she structures her team, why she hires experienced clinicians, how she protects her time as an owner, and what her involvement in the practice looks like now. We also dive into the numbers most therapists avoid, the mindset shift required to invest instead of hoard, and why quality and profitability are not at odds with one another. This conversation is equal parts grounding and expansive for anyone who wants to grow without resentment or exhaustion. Topics Covered in this Episode: 4:12 - Why profit matters more than revenue when scaling a practice 8:37 - The values that make premium pricing feel aligned instead of stressful 13:05 - How Leah structured her team to support growth without micromanaging 17:22 - What a realistic weekly schedule looks like at seven figures 21:48 - The financial rhythm Leah reviews every single week 25:31 - How clinical excellence quietly becomes your best marketing strategy 28:56 - The investment mindset that keeps practices from getting stuck If this episode expands what feels possible for you, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the rest of the Seven Figure Therapist Series. Each conversation will highlight a different path to growth and a different way to define success. And if this resonated, share it with a colleague or leave a review so more therapists can hear what's possible when you build with intention.   Resources Mentioned: Find out more about Alma here: helloalma.com/danielle Take 50% off your first 4 months of Simple Practice + a 7 day free trial using the link: simplepractice.com/danielle Follow Leah on IG: @educatedparentpodcast Listen to Educated Parent Podcast: https://educated-parent.captivate.fm/listen Thriving Children Center: www.thrivingchildcenter.com "Worth It" episodes: https://psychologist-practice-consulting.kit.com/profile/practice-consulting  How Leah tracks Her Finances: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/worth-it-practice/id1849042489?i=1000739352177

Seasonal slowdowns can shake even the most well-run therapy practices—especially group practices navigating payroll, profit, and growth at the same time. This week, I sat down with Stef Iverson and Lucinda Bibbs, business partners and recent graduates of Money Skills for Group Practice Owners, to talk through what it really looks like to manage cash flow during a summer slump while still honoring long-term vision, wellness, and expansion.“I think it's just that the clarity and the reassurance, right? That we're on the right track...knowing the numbers has really helped us make non-emotional decisions. And just having clarity on what's actually on the paper and what are those numbers actually telling us? They're telling us a story and they're holding up a mirror and they're allowing us to make changes and pivots as we, as we need to." - Stefanie IversonStef and Lucinda came into this conversation fresh off their first slower season since implementing Profit First—and instead of panic, they brought curiosity. We talked through how their profit account temporarily buffered operating expenses, what that revealed about their numbers, and how to proactively plan for next summer so slow seasons don't feel scary or reactive.Using Financial Clarity to Stay Grounded During Seasonal Revenue DipsWhat stood out most to me was how empowering it can be to replace “scrambling” with structure. When you know your numbers and intentionally build safety into your business, you give yourself permission to rest, plan, and make thoughtful decisions—even when revenue temporarily dips.(00:03:34) Navigating Profit Slumps & Business Growth Effectively(00:07:12) Savings Buffer Analysis to Prevent Pulling from Profit(00:12:29) Consistent Owner Draws and Keeping Profit Separate(00:16:06) Preparing for Economic Uncertainty and Anticipated Slow Seasons(00:20:58) Balancing Leadership and Growth with Work, Delegation, and Passions(00:26:45) Prioritizing Your Energy and Your Relationships(00:30:54) A Successful Partnership Built on Transparency(00:34:10) Evaluating and Expanding Services Offered(00:38:18) Tree Metaphor for Growth - With a Stable Trunk, Your Branches Can ReachStability First, Then Innovation: Growing Without Undermining the FoundationWe talked through how to experiment with offering new wellness services without neglecting the “main ship” of the group practice—and how to tell the difference between an idea that needs more time versus one that isn't financially aligned right now.Key Takeaways for Therapists Navigating Slow Seasons or Growth Build buffers before you need them. Aim to have 2–3 months of operating expenses in your account so seasonal dips don't trigger panic.Let stability lead. It's okay to temporarily prioritize cash reserves over profit distributions.Test new offerings slowly. Pilot, track results, and adjust before fully committing.Protect the core practice. New ideas are exciting, but the existing business needs consistent care.Communicate clearly with partners. Transparency reduces emotional decision-making and strengthens trust.Slow seasons don't mean you're doing something wrong—they're part of running a real business. With clear numbers, intentional buffers, and honest conversations, you can build a practice that feels both secure and flexible enough to grow in the directions that matter most to you.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

As therapists, most of us were never taught how to run a business—let alone how to manage money, payroll, hiring, or leadership in a way that's both ethical and sustainable.Licensed therapist and group practice owner Gordon Brewer and I talk openly about money mindset, generosity, boundaries, hiring mistakes, and what it really takes to create a financially sustainable group practice without burning yourself out or sacrificing quality of care.If you identify as a people-pleaser, an over-giver, or a “nice” leader who are quietly paying the price for unclear boundaries, this episode is for you.Gordon opens up about what didn't work when building his group practice, what had to change, and how learning to lead with clarity—rather than guilt—ultimately benefited both his team and his business.“Being kind means setting expectations and boundaries, so people know what to expect. Being nice often means avoiding those conversations—and that's where things fall apart.” — Gordon BrewerMistakes Made and Lessons Learned: Building a Sustainable Group PracticeGordon shares how over-giving with compensation, avoiding hard conversations, and underestimating the importance of clear financial systems led to stress and instability in his practice. Through hiring missteps, money mindset work, and implementing Profit First, he learned that sustainable leadership requires clarity, boundaries, and a willingness to course-correct.(00:04:16) Gordon's Journey to Owning a Group Practice and Hosting a Podcast(00:09:37) Sustainability Over Generosity: Lessons in Business(00:13:08) Navigating Money Stigma in Group Practice Ownership(00:17:51) Money Management and Hiring Lessons(00:20:05) How Boundaries and Values Shape Your Success with Finances(00:23:39) Parenting: Commands Disguised as Questions(00:27:03) Employee Benefits vs. Contracting(00:31:07) Planning for Financial Stability and Rebuilding a Sustainable Practice(00:36:43) How to Avoid Over-Giving in Your Private PracticeBuilding a Practice That's Generous and SustainableGordon's reflections highlight a truth I see again and again in my work with therapists: sustainability doesn't come from good intentions alone. It comes from aligning your values with clear business decisions, financial transparency, and leadership that supports everyone involved—including you.Key takeaways you can apply right now: Run the numbers before calling something “generous.”High splits, low fees, or extra perks aren't generous if they put your practice at risk. Sustainability is what allows generosity to continue.Being “nice” can quietly lead to burnout.Avoiding boundaries and hard conversations may feel compassionate in the moment, but it often creates resentment and instability over time.Kind leadership is clear leadership.Setting expectations upfront—and holding people to them—is one of the most respectful things you can do for your team.Money stories shape business decisions more than we realize.Beliefs about greed, selfishness, or worthiness often come from family or faith backgrounds and deserve to be examined—not blindly obeyed.It's never too late to course correct.Gordon's willingness to rebrand, rebuild systems, and restructure his business model created a healthier practice that better served everyone involved.If you're noticing patterns of over-giving, financial stress, or people-pleasing in your practice, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone—and more empowered to lead with clarity and confidence. Sustainable, ethical business decisions aren't a betrayal of your values. They're how you protect them.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are
