How do you feel about huge life pivots in your late 30s? They are quite a choice point. You're not 22 and still landing all the things.  Late 30s, you're likely decently established, have full-on identity, career, home life and maybe even a family.  But what to do when underneath it all runs a whisper that you are actually not this life anymore, not the same person you were a decade ago? The choice point: to stay in what you've made thus far or take the leap into who you've become? Maureen took the leap and is here to share her story. Also in this episode: Understand how self invalidation can limit your life and happiness.  Learn first steps to honoring your authentic self.  Finding support when you feel alone on your journey. Maureen Werrbach established The Group Practice Exchange after starting her private practice, Urban Wellness, and growing it into successful group practices in various locations.

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 cover a common area of confusion for group practice owners – contractor clinicians.  We discuss covered entities; HIPAA policies and procedures; IRS factors of control for contractors vs employees; the ABC test to determine classification; contracting as a business to business relationship; acting as a Managed Services Organization (MSO); Business Associate Agreements (BAAs); risk exposure and risk analysis; consequences of misclassifying contractors; and our HIPAA compliance manual service that can help with setup and implementation. Listen here: https://personcenteredtech.com/group/podcast/ For more, visit our website. Show Notes & Additional Information: ABC test for contractors Under the ABC test, a worker is considered an employee and not an independent contractor, unless the hiring entity satisfies all three of the following conditions: A: The worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact; B: The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and C: The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.

CMS - Covered Entities and Business Associates  See Business Associates section, particularly: "If a covered entity engages a business associate to help carry out its health care activities and functions, the covered entity must have a written business associate contract or other arrangement with the business associate" and "Also, a covered health care provider, health plan, or health care clearinghouse can be a business associate of another covered entity."

An interview with Michael Blumberg, LCPC, about mental health care as a basic human right. Curt and Katie talk with Michael about the tension between access and therapist financial stability. We look at ideas to support access while being thoughtful about your own financial needs. It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when therapists must develop a personal brand to market their practices. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.   Interview with Michael Blumberg, LCPC Michael Blumberg is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and group practice owner in the Chicago suburb of Glenview.  Michael founded and manages Glenview Counseling Group, a multi-disciplinary psychotherapy group practice, where he treats clients with OCD & complex anxiety and manages the daily operations of the practice.  Michael also co-founded a business focused solely on the business aspects of group practice ownership called Group Practice Builders with his friend and colleague Maureen Werrbach.  Together they plan and facilitate an annual conference called the Group Practice Owners Summit which draws attendees from across the US and abroad.   In this episode we talk about: How Michael defines Mental Health Care as a Human Right The idea that all people, regardless of ability to pay, have the right to be emotionally and psychologically well Pushing back against mental health and wellness as an extravagance The conflict between access and running a private practice The concern that if this is a human right, clinicians might be conscripted into service If large organizations can’t make access available, how can small therapy practices do anything? Ideas for how small therapy practices can make a difference in providing mental health access How to make the choices in how much you make, how you increase access The importance of individuals making these decisions for themselves based on their own needs. Advocacy as another way to increase access and work in prevention The tension between access and time or financial stability for individual clinicians The Starfish Thrower How the education system promotes sacrifice by the therapist Do what YOU can do and be thoughtful about it How to get creative and dismiss preconceived notions of what SHOULD be done The balancing act if you open yourself to the idea that you should personally provide access How these principles fit into the #moderntherapist ideas   Our Generous Sponsor: The Therapist Leader The Therapist Leader was created to assist therapists developing their businesses beyond the one-to-one model in a strategic and sustainable way, using a three-pronged approach, Refine | Scale | Lead: REFINE your practice in way that leverages your money, your time and your life in such a way that leaves room to grow your business idea. Then SCALE your new business idea in a way that is aligned with your values, your lifestyle and tunes out the noise of a busy online world of get rich and overstated marketing promises.

Curt and Katie talk about therapists’ responsibility for mental health access and the (sometimes moral) decision about whether one focuses on income or providing treatment to all. We look at a living wage, the mental health system, entrepreneurship, and capitalism.       It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. In this episode we talk about: Is mental health access a universal right? Group Practice Owner’s Summit 2019 where Katie got some wild ideas, especially during the talk by Maureen Werrbach and Michael Blumberg: Mental Health Access as a Human Right The moral dilemma regarding raising your fees to the point that you are only working with people who can afford it The extremes of martyrdom and pure entrepreneurship/capitalism Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as a place to assess where we identify human rights The distinction of the system providing mental health access and individuals providing this access Homelessness, mental illness, and addiction Where systems and social services are best able to take care of mental health and other concerns Larger mission and vision of how to impact the world Taking care of your needs as a therapist/person first before society The systemic issue of not providing all therapists a living wage and therapists needing to go into entrepreneurship to survive The potential impact of universal mental healthcare on entrepreneurship and the field The concern about stagnation and stifled innovation The power of passion and motivation in the work Finding creative ways to increase access, while not negatively impacting your bottom line How to make individual decisions about mental health access versus the therapist’s individual income Self-actualization - #topofthepyramid How the system impacts which therapists are able to continue practicing Draw bridge effect of later career therapists not treating newer therapists how they wished they were treated Locus of Control impacting decision-making The poor treatment of employees, low wages as contributing factors The system impacts on people at all levels Basic Needs - #bottomofthepyramid Profit First versus clients who do not bring revenue in Beyond Basic Needs - #middleofthepyramid The salary needs that connects to optimal happiness Questions about how to address these concerns and which to address first   Our Generous Sponsors: SimplePractice Trusted by over 40,000 customers, SimplePractice creates software and services for health and wellness professionals.

An Interview With Group Practice Owner Jeremy Sharp In today's episode, I talk to Colorado Center for Assessment and Counseling group practice owner, Jeremy Sharp. His question is all about “How big is too big?” with regards to keeping the culture of the group practice family-like and close knit. Things we discuss are: How many therapists is too many when trying to keep a family style culture? How much is too much growth with regards to office size? Is it too risky to expand by doubling your office space? How many hours should we work clinically as business owners in order to have the time to connect with our therapists? Delegating administrative tasks to free up time to connect with therapists. How to give personal attention to clinicians (supervision, meetings, etc.) Tightening processes in your group practice in order to have more time for therapists. Communication with therapists-is your communication with your staff is all about work related questions or is there connection building communication?

Tip #1: Organizing--> Learning how to organize your business increases the ability to have balance in the long run. Tip #2: Delegating-->How to delegate (and what to delegate) tasks so that you have more time for you! Tip #3:Batching--> What is batching and how batching one thing for extended periods of time helps you be more efficient. Tip #4: Tracking--> When you track certain processes in your group, you will see where you can let go, delegate, and reduce time spent on certain tasks.   [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container admin_label="" hundred_percent="no" equal_height_columns="no" menu_anchor="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" background_color="" background_image="" background_position="center center" background_repeat="no-repeat" fade="no" background_parallax="none" enable_mobile="no" parallax_speed="0.3" video_mp4="" video_webm="" video_ogv="" video_url="" video_aspect_ratio="16:9" video_loop="yes" video_mute="yes" video_preview_image="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" padding_top="10px" padding_right="" padding_bottom="" padding_left=""][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_3" layout="1_3" spacing="" center_content="no" hover_type="none" link="" min_height="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" background_color="" background_image="" background_position="left top" background_repeat="no-repeat" border_size="0" border_color="" border_style="solid" border_position="all" padding="" dimension_margin="" animation_type="" animation_direction="left" animation_speed="0.3" animation_offset="" last="no"][fusion_person name="" title="" picture="http://thegrouppracticeexchange.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Maureen-1-copy-1.jpg" pic_link="" linktarget="_self" pic_style="none" hover_type="none" background_color="" content_alignment="" pic_style_color="" pic_bordersize="" pic_bordercolor="" pic_borderradius="" icon_position="" social_icon_boxed="" social_icon_boxed_radius="" social_icon_color_type="" social_icon_colors="" social_icon_boxed_colors="" social_icon_tooltip="" blogger="" deviantart="" digg="" dribbble="" dropbox="" facebook="" flickr="" forrst="" googleplus="" instagram="" linkedin="" myspace="" paypal="" pinterest="" reddit="" rss="" skype="" soundcloud="" spotify="" tumblr="" twitter="" vimeo="" vk="" xing="" yahoo="" yelp="" youtube="" email="" show_custom="no" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" /][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="2_3" layout="2_3" spacing="" center_content="no" hover_type="none" link="" min_height="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" background_color="" background_image="" background_position="left top" background_repeat="no-repeat" border_size="0" border_color="" border_style="solid" border_position="all" padding="" dimension_margin="" animation_type="" animation_direction="left" animation_speed="0.3" animation_offset="" last="no"][fusion_person name="Maureen Werrbach, LCPC" title="Therapist, Group Practice Owner, Group Practice Coach" picture="" pic_link="" linktarget="_self" pic_style="none" hover_type="none" background_color="" content_alignment="left" pic_style_color="" pic_bordersize="" pic_bordercolor="" pic_borderradius="" icon_position="" social_icon_boxed="" social_icon_boxed_radius="" social_icon_color_type="" social_icon_colors="" social_icon_boxed_colors="" social_icon_tooltip="" blogger="" deviantart="" digg="" dribbble="" dropbox="" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/thegrouppracticeexchange/Ep_17_How_Big_is_Too_Big.mp3" target="_blank" flickr="" forrst="" googleplus="" instagram="" linkedin="" myspace="" paypal="" reddit="" skype="" soundcloud="" spotify="" tumblr="" twitter="" vimeo="" vk="" xing="" yahoo="" yelp="" youtube="" show_custom="no" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id=""]Maureen is the group practice owner of Urban Wellness, a two location practice in Chicago with 20 clinicians and administrative support.

Here's what I see as important factors to consider:   Compensation: I discuss the different pay structures for clinicians (most common are a percentage, flat rate, graduated percentage, salary). Incentives: I also discuss different incentives you can offer above and beyond counseling session compensation. Want to invest in their future? Offer company matched retirement account. Want to offer compensation for going above and beyond? Bonuses. What do you offer? Are you offering more than other practices? Supervision, staff meetings, the ability for professional growth, ability to use creative juices, groups, workshops, speaking engagements? What else do they get from your group practice besides a paycheck?  Engagement: How we talk to our clinicians go a long way. As does the things we don't say. I talk about how I engage each day with my clinicians, checking in to see how they are, asking about things they need, celebrating birthdays and workiversaries. What else do you find important to keeping your clinicians happy? Take a listen!

As you grow, fine tuning your paperwork, making sure it covers everything that makes your practice run smoothly, is important. Your group is different than others. What one group practice needs may not be what another group practice needs. In today's episode, I discuss some of the paperwork that I use in my group practice. Take a listen!   We discuss various paperwork: New Client Paperwork Packet * Credit Card on File Form Authorization for Teletherapy (online/phone counseling) Authorization for Counseling Outside the Office Release of Information * HIPAA Forms * Consent for Treatment Forms * Demographic Form * Employee Contract Independent Contractor Contract Sample Profit & Loss Spreadsheet Business Plan Form Marketing Log for Therapists Client Appointment Form (*if you are not using an EHR system, this tracks all appointments) Employee Manual Template Insurance Termination Request Fee Schedule Increase
