We also are excited to announce our co-hosted, value-packed, 3-day event, "Adapt and Succeed," happening from January 21st to 23rd, 2025, that focuses on the exploration of group practice realities and opportunities.3 Key Takeaways:Values-Based Recruiting & Hiring: Authenticity in your job advertisements is crucial. Make sure they reflect your practice's culture and values, and don't rely solely on generic postings. Define your voice and be clear about what you offer and expect.Building a Cohesive Leadership Team: As you scale your practice, creating clearly defined roles and responsibilities is essential. Avoid promoting someone just because they're a great clinician. Leadership requires a different skill set.Diversifying Services & Preventing Burnout: Exploring multiple income streams within your practice not only adds financial stability but also helps prevent burnout. Our panel discussion on the last day of the event is set to provide actionable steps to diversify effectively.More about Maureen Werrbach:Maureen is the founder of Urban Wellness, a group practice established in 2012 in Chicago, and The Group Practice Exchange, a group practice business strategy company.

Maureen has spent over a decade building her private therapy practice into a group practice with four locations. She also runs The Group Practice Exchange to provide hundreds of practice owners with the tools they need to grow a group practice. Maureen spent countless hours researching how to start a private practice and then many more hours learning how to grow it into a group. She created The Group Practice Exchange because she remembers wishing there was a place she could go that would explain not only the steps it would take to launch a group practice, but also discuss topics that relate to group practice ownership. In this episode we cover… How to know when you're ready to build a group practice How marketing a group practice differs from a private practice How systems are essential to your success as a group practice owner What role does social media have in your marketing And more… Join The Clinician's Social Media Club Presenting The Clinician's Social Media Club!

About Wendy: I help healthcare experts stand out by telling their story on websites, emails and social media. When it comes to marketing, the greatest waste is an idea that fails to connect to its audience – not because it wasn't a good idea but because it wasn't packaged as a great story.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy

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. And LEAD your business well. Leadership doesn't have to be scary and leadership shows up in many ways in your business growth journey. Getting equipped is empowering and essential.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy

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?

I see within our community that we often find it difficult to balance the various roles we play within our group practice, and so I discuss in detail the 4 tips below to creating balance as a group practice owner. 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 Request (Insurance) If you are interested in purchasing these packets from me, you can visit http://thegrouppracticeexchange.com/group-practice-startup/
