Why You're Exhausted in Private Practice: The Hidden Work Behind the Client Hour Exhausted in private practice - even with a “manageable” caseload? Seeing 20-25 clients a week does not mean you're working 20-25 hours. Every client hour includes hidden administrative work, financial decisions, emotional labor, and CEO-level responsibility. In this host-led episode, Curt and Katie break down why private practice feels heavier than expected - and how to think strategically about the real math behind your workload. Key Takeaways: • 20 client hours often equals 30+ hours of actual work • Emotional task-switching drains capacity • Burnout often comes from business demands, not just clients • Sustainable practice requires protected CEO time and clear boundaries Full show notes and resources: https://mtsgpodcast.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

Pastor Andy Cass If you're going to crave something, crave the gifts. In this message from the Crave Different series, we explore four supernatural gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12: healing, miracles, and tongues. These gifts remind us that God still moves today in ways that point people back to Him. They are not about attention or spectacle but about compassion, clarity, and strengthening the body of Christ.

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're getting into something a lot of therapists feel but won't admit: the practice you built to give you freedom might be the thing trapping you. We get into the rhythms, the systems, and the hard truth about why being a great therapist doesn't automatically make you great at running a practice. If you've been feeling the weight, losing the energy, and wondering how much longer you can keep doing it this way, this episode is for you. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Key Takeaways: Virtual Field has rebranded to Carrot to create new opportunities for their future in delivering an expanded virtual reality pretesting platform. Carrot's platform now includes more than visual field - pupillometry, color vision, ocular motility. In the near future, the platform will include contrast sensitivity, D-15, and cover test available to be done within the platform. In addition to the roadmap, the platform will build in machine learning and AI to accelerate how practices deliver a better patient experience. The more tests that can be done effectively in VR, the faster pre-testing can go in your practice. It can free up space for an additional lane or more optical displays. Instead of one tech per one patient, some practices are able to connect one technician with up to three patients. Change is always difficult, no matter the technology. Working directly with your team on the how, what, and why is critical to success to implement.

Send a textIn this quick tip episode of Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Seigel breaks down how to accurately define the sales valuation of a private practice—and why misunderstanding valuation mechanics can cost owners hundreds of thousands of dollars at exit. He explains the two primary deal structures (stock sales vs. asset sales), how insurance contracts and tax IDs impact deal viability, and why buyer type (private equity, strategic buyers, internal partners, or individual investors) directly influences valuation outcomes.Brandon walks through the most common valuation methodologies, including EBITDA multiples and discounted cash flow (DCF), while clarifying common mistakes owners make—especially overstating EBITDA by misclassifying owner compensation. Using a real-world case study, he shows how proper add-backs, risk reduction, operational independence, and infrastructure readiness can dramatically increase multiples and sale price. The episode closes with practical steps to optimize value, protect sensitive data during negotiations, and prepare early so owners exit confidently, maximize leverage, and preserve the legacy they've built.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

How do you get the word out about your private practice in your local community organically, and in a way that shows you really care about your clients? Do you really need a Psychology Today profile? How can you build a space for creativity to flourish? These are some of the questions that my guest today, Taylor, has asked herself throughout her journey so far in Canadian private practice. Upon discovering that the only thing she loved about journalism was people's stories, she pivoted to therapy and has never looked back.  In our conversation today, we discuss opening a private practice, creative marketing strategies, and ways in which to keep working with intention. Come and join!  MEET TAYLOR Taylor Nelson is a Certified Play Therapist and Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work (MSW) who specializes in child and youth mental health. She is the owner of Family Tree Therapy in Belleville, Ontario, where her group practice focuses on expressive, play-based approaches for children, teens, and families. Taylor enjoys helping young people feel safe, seen, and supported as they build resilience and strengthen relationships. Learn more about Taylor on her personal website, private practice website, Psychology Today, and Facebook profiles.  In this episode:  How Taylor became a Registered Social Worker Why Taylor opened her own private practice Marketing the private practice Taylor's advice to listeners  How Taylor became a Registered Social Worker Taylor studied journalism, but quickly realized that it wasn't for her. She discovered that the only part of journalism she really enjoyed was learning about people's stories, which led her into the therapy world, where that plays a large part.  While Taylor loved working in a clinical setting initially, it began to take a toll. Therefore, she pivoted and started working solo to continue serving her community on more of her own terms.  Why Taylor opened her own private practice In 2023, Taylor opened up her private practice while she was still working in an agency to help make the transition a little easier financially.  She started her private practice by renting space to see her first clients one day a week, and she instantly knew that it was the best fit for her - to see clients as a practitioner.  Initially, Taylor kept her private practice as a solo practitioner. After a few years, she began hiring her first staff. Now, building a space where practitioners feel creative, filled up, and filled with possibility is one of Taylor's practice mottos, and the type of system she's designing for her clinicians and clients.  Marketing the private practice While Taylor has maintained her network from when she was a solo practitioner into becoming a group practice owner, there are a few networking techniques that she uses to make sure her clinicians have clients coming in often:  Dropping off print materials at various locations, such as pediatrician offices, schools, and local community centers  Following up regularly with networking points of contact  Making sure that they have their most up-to-date contact information  Being clear with expectations for referrals  As the practice grows, Taylor is intentional about staying in touch with the practice's heart-centered approach to their work, and to make the practice a place where the practitioners can also rest, nest, and be creative.  Taylor also invests a lot in building community networks, so most of the practice's marketing comes from this community connection, which brings along warm referrals and word-of-mouth recommendations.  In a more fun marketing technique, Taylor's private practice has sponsored a local children's sports team, so the kids' jerseys will have the practice name! Taylor's advice to listeners  There's longevity in this work. So many people are starting from the beginning, or are further down the road, but all of this work is needed, necessary, and you are part of it!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Sonya JF Barnett: Becoming a Private Practice Sex Therapist as a Second Career | EP 192 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS2MO for two months free) Get started with Hushmail here and get one month for free!

After a decade in practice and eight years as an owner, he explains what made the biggest difference: delegating early, hiring for soft skills, and building systems that reduce the practice's dependence on the physician. He also breaks down how he uses AI and automation to reduce administrative work, improve patient experience, and protect physician time, then explains why those solutions became businesses of their own. Along the way, he shares examples of offshoring support roles, documenting SOPs with modern tools, automating patient intake and reactivation, and using specialty-specific workflows to keep teams aligned.

Couples therapy can be some of the most rewarding work we do as therapists, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Many couples don't reach out for help until things feel like they're falling apart. By the time they sit down in your office, there are often years of resentment, hurt, and miscommunication built up beneath the surface. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Wyatt Fisher, a psychologist and couples therapist who has spent years refining his approach to helping couples work through those deeper issues. Wyatt shares how his own personal and professional experiences shaped his work with couples and why he eventually moved away from the traditional weekly therapy model. We talk about the power of marriage intensives, how addressing resentments first can change the entire course of therapy, and some of the practical tools he uses to help couples rebuild connection and accountability. Wyatt also shares how he's structured his practice to include intensives, coaching, classes, and conferences to create a more comprehensive model for helping couples. If you work with couples or have ever wondered how to structure therapy so couples can make real progress faster, I think you'll find this conversation really interesting.

Family medicine physician Dr. Steven Gordon joins us this episode to reflect on a remarkable career spanning private practice, the Indian Health Service, and more than a decade of locum tenens work across rural and remote communities. Known for his long‑running blog Walkabout Doc and his thoughtful writing on Doximity Op‑Med, Dr. Gordon has spent years documenting the realities of modern medicine — from burnout to joy, from system pressures to the deep meaning found in patient care.Dr. Gordon shares how the mounting administrative burdens and 80‑hour workweeks pushed him toward burnout in private practice, and how locum tenens ultimately helped him rediscover his passion for medicine. He describes the freedom of stepping into new environments, the satisfaction of completing each assignment, and the unexpected ways locums improved his well‑being, his marriage, and his relationship with the profession.Dr. Gordon also offers candid insights on credentialing, navigating non‑competes, negotiating with recruiters, and the dramatic shifts he's witnessed in healthcare over the past decade — from the rise of private equity to the changing expectations of younger physicians.Explore more of Dr. Gordon's writing on his blog: Walkabout Doc Interested in learning more about locum tenens opportunities?

Do you Know How Clients Find Your Private Practice Before They Book a Discovery Call? Most people don't realize that you have access to data that can help you focus your marketing to bring in more clients. You just need to know where to look! Most private practice owners think they know where their clients come from. Someone emails you, books directly in your calendar, or calls your phone, so it's easy to assume that must be how they discovered your practice. But when you take a closer look at your last few discovery calls, you often see a different story. How someone reaches out to you in the first place is usually just the final step in a longer path that started somewhere else.When you trace that path, you begin to see which parts of your marketing are actually helping people find your practice before they reach out. Or sometimes you see how it's hurting things too. Instead of guessing where to focus your marketing, you can start strengthening the places that are already bringing in discovery calls.Listen in to learn:Why the way someone contacts you is not the same as how they found you, and how to use this to improve your marketing.The simple exercise that shows which marketing channels are actually bringing in discovery calls.How your website, directories, and Google profile influence people booking discovery callsIf you're a dietitian, therapist, or service provider growing a private practice and want clearer marketing that leads to discovery calls, this episode will help you see your marketing from a new perspective.Be sure to get the resources mentioned here: http://marketingyourprivatepractice.com/174 Click here to send Kathy a text message about this Episode

Kate Walsh has spent over a decade playing the legendary, world-class neonatal surgeon Dr. Addison Montgomery, but in 2015, she faced a terrifying medical crisis that required a neurosurgeon of her own. In this very special live episode recorded in Sydney, we celebrate the official launch of Season 2 of Well with a conversation that is as glamorous as it is raw and revealing. Host Claire Murphy is joined on stage by Kate to peel back the curtain on the woman behind the scrubs. While the world knows her as the formidable lead of Private Practice and the woman who made the most famous entrance in Grey’s Anatomy history, Kate joins us to share the deeply personal story of the year she became the patient. From the "menopause-like" symptoms that masked a life-threatening condition, to the frustrating reality of being dismissed by specialists, Kate discusses the 2015 diagnosis of a 5cm brain tumour. She recalls her diagnosis, the "gnarly" recovery that followed and her ongoing journey navigating early menopause and ageing in the spotlight.

Sonya joined a life drawing class as a participant over 15 years ago. Little did she know at the time that this decision would end up leading her to hosting her own art sessions, taking it in a sexually inclusive and explorative angle, and later become a sex therapist who completed her Master's in her 40s and now runs her own (mostly) virtual private practice. As you can see, she has a unique story to share! In this podcast episode, Sonya and I discuss her exciting journey from start to finish, and share some insights from her lessons learned.  MEET SONYA Sonya JF Barnett is a Registered Psychotherapist, certified sex educator, and lover of trees. She has a varied history in art direction, feminist erotica production, intimacy coordination, and fierce feminist organizing. She has written about, filmed, spoken on, studied, and is a fierce activist for sexual rights, education, and wellbeing. Learn more about Sonya on her website, Instagram, and Psychology Today profiles.  In this episode:  From art into therapy How Sonya became a therapist  Running a private practice What's next for Sonya From art into therapy  Before joining the profession, Sonya had another career working as an art director for design agencies.  After trying out a few life drawing classes, Sonya started hosting her own classes. Later, the classes turned into a larger-than-anticipated community, which had a big focus on sexuality.  Sonya's work with life drawing and the deeper exploration was called "Keyhole Sessions", and it was her hobby alongside her career as an art director. However, over the course of a few years, Keyhole Sessions encouraged Sonya to step into counselling and become a therapist.  How Sonya became a therapist  Sonya played around with the idea of creating something more official and tangible from her work with Keyhole Sessions, which led up to her decision to become a sex therapist.  She got involved in as much sexual therapy education as she could get into at the time, which, compounded over time, led her to become a fully fledged therapist. She completed her undergrad at the University of Toronto.  From there, Sonya completed an online program for her Master's in Counseling Psychology, which was in 2016.  Running a private practice Sonya sees most of her clients virtually, but also offers walk-and-talk sessions outdoors in natural settings. She enjoys using nature-based therapy and wants to help her clients by incorporating the benefits of being outdoors during therapy sessions.  In running her practice, Sonya also uses Jane App to run her systems and complete admin tasks. If you'd like to give it a try, use Jules' code FEARLESS2MO for a two-month discount! Sonya also enjoys experimenting with her schedule in her Canadian private practice. She enjoys finding ways to take care of her practice and clients while also taking care of herself. What's next for Sonya Sonya explains how she has been feeling the lack of community while working as a virtual therapist. While she prefers running a solo private practice, since she sees her clients virtually or for nature-based walk-and-talk therapy, she does miss the community that one has when working with more people. Therefore, one of her upcoming goals is to build a peer group.  Furthermore, Sonya is designing and building out a sex therapist retreat in September 2026!

Legacies get talked about for years. We're pulling back the curtain on why “good” numbers can coexist with low morale, vanishing initiative, and creeping turnover—and how to flip that dynamic by leading people, not spreadsheets.We start with a simple tale that's all too common: a top performer saves hundreds of hours with an automated workflow and gets dinged for being five minutes late. That's transactional leadership in a nutshell—an exchange of time for money and compliance for praise—efficient in the short term and corrosive over time. From there, we unpack the traits of transactional cultures: rigid rules, quarterly thinking, burnout, and a blind spot for investments that free time and lift quality. Then we go deeper into transformational leadership, where recognition, opportunity, and mentorship replace micromanagement, and where initiatives that challenge “how we've always done it” get a genuine pilot, not a polite burial.You'll hear why Howard Schultz refused to cut healthcare for part-time partners at Starbucks—despite a $300M “savings”—and how that choice slashed turnover and compounded loyalty. We contrast that with Blockbuster's fixation on late fees, a classic data-trap that protected today's slice while forfeiting tomorrow's market. We also rewrite our opening story with a different leader, one who sets aside the keyboard, studies the idea, and gives the innovator a platform to teach. The result isn't a one-time spike; it's a culture shift from renters to owners.Along the way, we share scenario drills you can use right now: how to respond to a missed deadline, test a bold policy change, staff an emergency weekend without bribery, and run an annual review that charts a three-year path. Expect clear, practical takeaways rooted in leadership fundamentals—individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, and modeling the behavior you want repeated.If you're ready to retain great people, attract better ones, and build a patient or customer experience that keeps winning, hit play. Then share this with a manager who still thinks bonuses are the only lever. Subscribe, leave a quick review, and tell us: which habit are you changing first?

Send a textIn this episode of the Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast, Brandon Seigel breaks down the multi–tax ID private practice model and why relying on a single tax ID can limit growth, care delivery, and operational freedom. Drawing from real-world experience, Brandon explains how separating insurance-based care, concierge/private pay services, and a Management Services Organization (MSO) can unlock flexibility, protect compliance, diversify revenue, and expand patient access—without violating payer contracts.This conversation explores the three–tax ID framework, the role of an MSO, and how properly structured entities allow private practices to serve patients beyond medical necessity while reducing financial risk and payer dependency. If you're a private practice owner feeling boxed in by insurance rules, this episode offers a strategic lens on how to scale, innovate, and build a more resilient healthcare business—with proper legal and financial guidance.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

Is SEO actually dead… or are we just playing by outdated rules? In this episode, I'm interrupting our seven-figure series to talk about something that feels urgent: the massive shifts happening in SEO and AI search and what they mean for you as a therapist in private practice. I break down why SEO isn't dead (despite what the internet is screaming), but it is very different than it was even a year ago. We're no longer just talking about showing up on Google. Now we're navigating visibility on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Claude, Google, and Bing. I'll explain the big pivot away from "content is king" and toward something much more powerful in 2026: legitimacy, credibility, and topical authority. I also walk you through three practical shifts you can implement quickly (without writing 1,500-word blogs twice a week) to help you show up in AI searches and attract more private-pay clients. We'll talk about zero-click searches, why your Google Business Profile and directory bios matter more than ever, and how to structure your website so AI tools actually recommend you. My intention with this episode is to show you exactly where to focus next. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:12 - Why "SEO is dead" is a dramatic myth (and what's actually changing) 5:48 - The real reason "content is king" no longer applies in the AI era 8:10 -The credibility shift that gives therapists a major competitive advantage 10:27 - A simple website update that can dramatically improve AI visibility 12:02 - How clients are actually searching in tools like ChatGPT now 14:11 - What "zero-click searches" mean for your marketing strategy 16:05 - The overlooked sections of your online presence that now carry the most weight Join me Wednesday, March 11th at 1PM EST for a free masterclass on How To Make Your Private Practice Impossible To Miss In 2026  I'll walk you step-by-step on how to get your Private Practice to show up in Google search + ChatGPT using beginner-friendly SEO tools and AI hacks you can implement in minutes, plus community marketing that is a MUST in 2026.   Resources Mentioned: Register Here Today to Save Your Spot: https://www.theentrepreneurialtherapist.com/webinar Find out more about Alma here: helloalma.com/danielle Take 50% off your first 3 months of Simple Practice + a 7 day free trial using the link: simplepractice.com/danielle

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about AI in your therapy practice — notes, admin tasks, and where the ethical lines actually are. We unpack what informed consent looks like when AI is in the room, why there's a big difference between a HIPAA-compliant notes platform and dropping client info into ChatGPT, and how to think about all of this without freezing or just avoiding it altogether. If you've been curious about AI tools but worried about your license, client trust, or just doing it wrong — this conversation will help you find an approach that's thoughtful, informed, and actually workable. A quick heads-up. The audio quality isn't what we normally aim for, and we appreciate your patience. The insights in this conversation felt too important to keep to ourselves.

Discover three things every private practice needing more inquiries or bookings can do to give their business a visibility boost.  Learn why some of the things you've been trying to do to attract clients haven't been working (hint: they're likely outdated) and what to actually focus on and why. Remember, results with organic (unpaid) marketing take 90 days in business so manage your expectations so take the pressure off yourself to keep tweaking and changing things because every time you do, you reset the 90 days and this is likely why it feels like it's taking you so much longer than everyone else to get clients. Track your data - you have a Google  Analytics dashboard - use it. And, know that your website is one of the most important assets for your business BUT you also need to be generating leads aka driving traffic to it. In my experience as a private practice business coach for women counsellors, psychologists and social workers, one of the things they often don't realise is that a website is passive and that they are required to also be engaging in active marketing regularly.  As usual, I hope this episode is super helpful.  If you're ready for business coaching, you are most welcome to look at Practice Momentum™ and submit an application.  If you'd like me to audit your website and give you personalised recommendations on how to increase visibility, click here.

After 10 years of working as a Registered Psychologist and dabbling initially in private practice, Dr. Anusha Kassan and her cofounder, Alyssa Hasham, purchased and freshened up an already existing Canadian private practice. With creativity, passion, and drive, they have developed the space into a community that they share with other clinicians to thrive in.  In this podcast episode, Anusha and I discuss her journey into therapy, private practice, and the experiences she's had in recent years both as a psychologist and a practice owner.  MEET ANUSHA Anusha Kassan, PhD, RPsych (she/her), resides and works on the traditional territories of the people of Treaty 7 in Southern Alberta and Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6). She also works on the territories of the Musqueam People; she is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia. She is also the co-owner of The Psychology Group, a private practice in Calgary. Anusha's scholarship is influenced by her own bicultural identity and is informed by an overarching social justice lens. She is a Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association, and she recently received the organization's Award for Public, Community Service, and Human Rights and Social Justice in Psychology. Learn more about Anusha on her website, Instagram, university post, and practice websites.  In this episode:  Why Anusha became a psychologist  When Anusha started private practice Purchasing a private practice Marketing the private practice  What Dr. Kassan is looking forward to  Why Anusha became a psychologist Anusha explains that her path to becoming a psychologist was paved by both purposeful and spontaneous events.  When she had to choose an undergraduate major, Anusha applied to programs in the helping professions, such as psychology and education. Later on, when she had to choose one, she chose psychology because it offered a wider scope. Dr. Kassan explains that within her family, there was a near-death experience, and she met incredible mentors. These events encouraged her to keep going and pursue additional training and schooling, which led her to complete her PhD at McGill University, and later to join the faculty at British Columbia University.  When Anusha started private practice It took about 10 years! Dr. Kassan completed a lot of clinical work through her grad school, and dabbled in private practice part-time.  However, for a few years after, Anusha's priorities shifted, and she focused more on building her career and caring for her young children, and so private practice was placed on the back burner for the time being.  Her private practice started as a small one, and mostly as a way for her to keep her skills fresh and engage with people, since being in private practice helped her to be a better teacher, and teaching helped her succeed in her private practice.  However, it has now turned into something larger. She took over from the previous owners and purchased the psychology group where she was working. Together with her cofounder, Alyssa Hasham, Anusha now runs her growing Canadian group collective.  Adopting a private practice Alyssa, Dr. Kassan's co-founder, had many conversations about starting this collective practice. They shared an office and had conversations about expanding slowly and bringing on clinicians. Things were already laid out; they just freshened up the group private practice.  However, Anusha has had to learn a few skills quickly when she became one of the founders, and that process will continue as she and the practice grow and develop over the years. Marketing the private practice Right now, Anusha and Alyssa are still figuring out what works best for their practice in terms of marketing the collective to potential clients.  Anusha and her team have invested some money into Google Ads and SEO to help boost their marketing efforts, and she has implemented some helpful tips from the Fearless Practice Podcast, too!  What Dr. Kassan is looking forward to In the upcoming months and years, Anusha is looking forward to more stability and security, since their group private practice has undergone a few changes and shifts. Additionally, Anusha wants to expand her creativity in business and implement it more into their collective.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Christina Page: Private Practice Lessons in Growth | EP 190  Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS2MO for two months free) Get started with Hushmail here and get one month for free!

Here's the thing.If you're like most healing arts professionals, you sell your time.Five sessions. Ten sessions. Maybe a package here or there.But what if you focused on your expertise, and the transformation your clients get when they work with you?

Send a textThis episode breaks down why leadership fails in practice operations—and what high-performing leaders do differently. Starting with the real barriers to leadership, Brandon uses a Tom Brady example to explain the drive, standards, and internal accountability required to lead when pressure is high. You'll learn a Vision-Driven Strategist framework for creating change: define the vision, translate it into measurable goals, and build the structure that makes execution repeatable—not dependent on personality or “good days.”The conversation then shifts into culture and team performance: why your team is the engine and culture is the fuel, and why leaders must architect structure, not simply delegate tasks. Brandon challenges the misconception that empathy alone is leadership—showing how empathy without clear expectations creates inconsistency—and explains the hard truth: when people respect you, you can lead; when they don't, you can't. You'll also get a practical take on social and emotional intelligence in the workplace, including when to listen vs. challenge, how small behaviors shape trust, and the four emotional intelligence factors that influence communication, conflict, and accountability. The episode closes with servant leadership, turning plans from paper into reality, and the question every owner should ask: are leaders born—or made?Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

In today's Ask Abundance, the newest iteration of my Ask Allison series, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about how to show up online in a way that actually feels like you — without oversharing, following trends you hate, or losing yourself in the process. Together, we unpack why so many therapists freeze when it comes to creating content, what ethical self-disclosure really looks like in a marketing context, and how to build a consistent online presence without turning into someone you don't recognize. We also walk through the concept of content buckets, how to share from a scar instead of a wound, and why social media isn't actually required for a full, thriving practice. If you've been putting off showing up online because it feels cringey or too personal, this conversation will help you find an approach that's grounded, authentic, and actually sustainable.

Private practice is getting squeezed by complexity, competition, and promises that “bigger is better.” That pressure is pushing more dentists to consider selling, scaling, or giving up control. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Dr. Christian Coachman, dentist and educator, about why celebrating independent private practice matters, why quality in dentistry isn't scalable, and what private practitioners can do to stay clinically excellent without burning out. To learn how community, support, and smart strategy can help you protect your freedom and your standards, listen to Episode 1011 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysPrivate practice protects the dentist's freedom to make key decisions that support quality and patient-first care.Motivation, attention to detail, and passion can decline when a practice is sold and clinical decisions are influenced by outside ownership.Quality in dentistry is not scalable, and it typically drops as practices grow beyond a size that can be closely managed.The temptation to scale often hits when a dentist reaches a ceiling on fees but demand continues to grow.Independent dentists can gain many advantages of large organizations by joining a real community that offers support and shared resources.The increasing demands of technology, marketing, leadership, and management are pressuring private practitioners and fueling DSO interest.Many dentists who sell are financially relieved but still want their freedom back once non-compete periods end.Snippets00:00 Intro – Protecting Independent Private Practice01:12 Why Private Practice Matters02:45 Introducing Dr. Christian Coachman04:10 Celebrating the Freedom of Ownership06:30 The Current Challenges Facing Private Dentists08:55 The Mindset Shift Required to Stay Independent11:20 Why Community and Collaboration Matter13:40 Innovation in Modern Private Practice16:05 The Future of Independent Dentistry18:30 Why Events Like The Exchange Matter20:10 Final Thoughts – Choosing Freedom Intentionally21:32 OutroGuest Bio/Guest ResourcesDr. Christian Coachman is a dentist and dental technician known internationally for his work in dental communication, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

In this episode, David Mandell speaks with Teri Yates, founder and CEO of Accountable Physician Advisors, about the realities of building, sustaining, and scaling independent medical practices. Drawing from her background in healthcare administration and consulting, Teri explains why private practice remains viable—and necessary—despite increasing consolidation in healthcare. She emphasizes that autonomy, not just income, is often the driving force behind physicians choosing independence. A central theme of the conversation is disciplined decision-making. Teri outlines why financial feasibility studies are essential before launching a practice and shares that more than half of such studies result in physicians deciding not to move forward. This intentional filtering, she explains, protects physicians from undercapitalization, unrealistic expectations, and long-term financial strain. The discussion also explores operational excellence in established practices, including revenue cycle management, staffing challenges, and leadership responsibilities. Teri underscores the importance of investing in the right people, using data to drive decisions, and creating workplace cultures that attract and retain high-performing employees. She concludes with an optimistic outlook on the future of private practice, citing efficiency, physician satisfaction, and patient access as key reasons it will continue to play a vital role in healthcare.

The business climate has changed — and leadership must change with it. In this episode, Brian outlines the leadership shift required to win in private practice in 2026 and beyond. Winning isn't accidental, and it isn't emotional. It's measurable. It comes down to three pillars: People, Products, and Profits. Are you building a culture of contribution? Delivering outcomes that drive loyal referrals? Operating at a true 15–20% net profit? The owners who win today observe, decide, and act. They lead strategically instead of reacting to circumstances. If you want freedom, profitability, and long-term growth, this episode lays out the standard required to get there.

In this first installment of my series, "Where Are They Now?", I'll be interviewing past Canadian therapists that I've had on the show to see how their private practice is doing. Today, I'm checking in with Christina Page! Tune in to gain extra insight into where she was when we first spoke, and see the progress she has made!  We discuss the surprising discoveries she has made along the way, the discomfort she has overcome, and the wonderful lessons that she has learned from both. Join our conversation, and see if you can pick up an informative gem to help you on your path in Canadian private practice! MEET CHRISTINA Christina Page is a Certified Perinatal Therapist and the owner of Whole Family Psychotherapy - a collective of heart-centered perinatal specialists offering virtual counselling services across Ontario to parents and parents-to-be. Christina's team offers individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and parenting support sessions for folks through pre-conception journeys, during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond into later stages of family life.

She was the clinical director, admin, and saw a full caseload of clients, all while being a mother to young children. While she loved it too, she knew that it wasn't sustainable.  Therefore, over the year and a half since our first podcast episode, she has smoothed and straightened out her practice to the extent that she can take a step back and enjoy it more, rather than just running from task to task.  Christina's group practice update to today Her practice has grown! They are now a team of seven therapists, including an intern. She has full admin support, which Christina explains has been one of the biggest benefits to date.  As Christina explains, the most crucial element for success that she has seen in her private practice over the months is to support its flexibility.  The businesses needed to handle an increased number of clients coming in, admin requests, and paperwork, which meant the business's foundation needed to be broadened, strengthened, and made as autonomous as possible so that Christina herself didn't become the bottleneck.  Secondly, Christina's next biggest lesson was learning how helpful it can be to slow down. Not everything needs to be treated as a crisis, and not everything needs your response right away.  Stepping fully into the CEO role Another big change that Christina hadn't ever thought would happen is that she has stopped seeing clients herself! She has since stepped fully into the role of being the practice CEO, the leader of her team, and the business entity.  Christina took a leap of faith and trusted the process. She was able to work through the initial discomfort of not knowing what might happen and navigating uncertain financial situations, and while things are still not yet where she wants them to be financially, they are improving.  All this was made possible by her recognizing that it would be good for her practice to take a step back from seeing clients and step forward into a more leadership role.  The importance of having an emergency savings fund Having an emergency fund is crucial, and specifically for two reasons:  1 - To give you leeway to make changes in your practice, such as Christina going from a full caseload of clients to being the full-time boss only, and having some financial cushioning can help you make these transitions easier  2 - To make it through uncertain times in the economy or when client conversion rates dip, which is common in private practice  Take good care of yourself and your nervous system, because tolerating the uncertainty of business in private practice, in our world today, requires you to have a sense of groundedness.  Christina's goals for the future Now, Christina's goals for the future are to create stability for the practice to support and nurture what they are currently doing well. She's going to remain open and flexible in terms of what's to come!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Tina Bells: Balancing Non-Profit and Private Practice | EP 189 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS2MO for two months free) Get started with Hushmail here and get one month for free!

Join us for a "where are they now" catch up conversation with former Leadership Lab client Jessie Ginsburg of Pediatric Therapy Playhouse and Sensory SLP.  You'll appreciate how open she is to talk about the cost of losing team members as they join another practice or open their own, including the emotional toll this took on her. She's evolved her leadership to a better place now where she accepts the turnover while also tightening up her hiring, onboarding and productivity processes to ensure her practice is profitable, regardless of any team structure ups and downs.  With two businesses and five boys all under the age of nine, you might be wondering "how does she do it all?" Jessie gives us a look inside her home support plan, her leadership team structure in both businesses, her future plans and confirms. She's designing a life that best fits what she wants, not what society or her industry is telling her she should want.

Most practice owners feel the pressure to “keep up with AI” — but few have real clarity on what actually works, what's hype, and what could quietly overwhelm their team.In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club Podcast, host Nathan Shields sits down with Sharif Zeid, longtime EMR leader and representative of Empower EMR, for a grounded, practical conversation about where AI is truly delivering value in private practice — and where expectations need a serious reset.Drawing on years of experience working with hundreds of practices, Sharif breaks down how AI adoption is accelerating faster than any technology wave we've seen before — and why documentation, scheduling, compliance, and phone systems are at the center of that shift. They also unpack the hidden risks of chasing tools without systems, and why “AI as the solution” fails without strong operational foundations.Together, they explore:Why documentation is still AI's biggest and safest win for practicesHow generative AI (scribes, summaries, chart review) is actually being used in real clinicsWhy “perfect” AI is the wrong benchmark — and how partial wins still create massive ROIThe growing AI arms race between providers and insurance companiesWhere AI helps with compliance — and why trust-but-verify still mattersWhy billing automation is over-promised and under-delivered (for now)The real cost of stacking tools — and how to evaluate ROI per providerWhy team overwhelm is the biggest risk of fast AI adoptionThe rise of AI in phone systems, scheduling, and patient self-serviceWhy patient portals and foundational systems must come before automationHow AI should support decision-making, not replace leadershipIf you're a practice owner trying to decide where AI actually belongs in your clinic — and how to adopt it without breaking your team, your culture, or your systems — this episode offers clarity without hype.

Okay - I'll admit it. My bookkeeper used to send me a Profit and Loss (P&L) statement for my practice every time we met - and I barely looked at it.Not proud of that.But I blew it off because I didn't really understand HOW to use it, what the various segments meant, or how to pull information from those long columns of numbers that I could actually use.Well - not any more. Today, I go over those suckers with a highlighter and a pen, and I keep the latest one on my desk so I can refer back to it when I make decisions.That's what a P&L can do for you. And today, we are going to teach you how to do the same thing. :)In this episode, I'm joined by Randall Avery — a former corporate finance professional who now helps mental health professionals and other practice owners understand their numbers. With his help, we broke this stuff down in a way that actually makes sense.No jargon. No shame. No such thing as a dumb question.Just clarity - and I think you'll love that.In this episode, you'll learn:What a P&L actually is (and what it isn't.)How to break down revenue sources in your practice. (So helpful when deciding where to focus your growth!

This episode outlines how they would start a private practice in 2026 focusing on long-term sustainability, clinical grounding, and reducing burnout. Emphasizes the importance of three key decisions: building financial stability through predictable income, choosing one offer to focus on and perfect, and mastering session structure to boost retention and reduce stress. Also advocate for the use of artificial intelligence to enhance practice efficiency. Additionally, avoiding distractions like branding before stability, rushing offers, and constantly pivoting is recommended. The episode highlights the significance of a calm, confident, and systematic approach to building a private practice.

Running a private practice usually means you did not set out to become a numbers person. You are trained to help people, not to read profit and loss statements or stress about tax projections. But the reality is this. If you own a practice, you are running a business. In this episode, I sit down with Gretchen Roberts of Red Bike Advisors to talk about the financial side of private practice in a way that feels practical and doable. We unpack how to use your financial reports as a management tool, what healthy profit margins actually look like, and the payroll mistakes that can quietly drain your profit. We also talk about cash flow and why it is what truly keeps the doors open, especially during the ups and downs that come with business ownership. Since we are in tax season, we cover common tax mistakes, why taxes should not be a once-a-year event, and how to avoid those painful surprises at filing time. If you have ever avoided looking at your numbers or felt unsure about what they are telling you, this conversation will help you think more like a business owner.

We pull back the curtain on a costly flaw hiding in many practices: same-day-only incentives that deflate morale, raise churn, and starve the pipeline. The fix isn't more pressure at the money moment; it's smarter, teamwide incentives that reward consistent follow-up and real conversion over time.We start with the anxiety every owner knows: that hollow feeling when the pending list runs dry. Then we reframe the pending list as a core business asset—inventory you can shape with thoughtful systems. You'll hear a real-world case from a practice where treatment coordinators loved new processes yet felt helpless, because their bonus vanished the second a patient walked out without signing. We show how today's shoppers call five offices, visit three, and need a trust-rich journey across every touchpoint, from the first phone call to the clinical handoff.Next, we map a practical playbook for turning prospects into starts: a steady cadence of calls, texts, emails, and short personalized videos; messages that evolve from education to objection-handling; and micro-commitments that lower friction, like reserving a start date or pre-approving financing. Then we connect process to pay. Instead of isolating the treatment coordinator, we propose a shared pool that rewards overall conversion within 30 to 60 days, with a smaller kicker for same-day signatures. Reception, clinical assistants, and digital intake all share in the outcome because they shape trust long before the contract appears.By the end, you'll have a clear blueprint: treat the pipeline like gold, coach the team to follow through with empathy and precision, and align incentives with behaviors that actually drive starts.

Send a textWe tackle a reality most practice owners are feeling: digital marketing is getting more expensive, more crowded, and less predictable. As search and social costs rise, “disruptive” marketing is shifting from being optional to being a competitive advantage—especially in a world where digital saturation makes it harder for practices to stand out and be remembered.This episode makes the case for direct mail as a high-impact channel again—not as a generic flyer, but as a tactile, value-forward experience that earns attention. From creative mail concepts (including gift cards and non-traditional formats) to why “they're always listening” across platforms, the discussion highlights how modern direct mail complements digital strategy instead of competing with it. The key is value: messaging that helps the recipient, builds trust, and creates a clear reason to respond.You'll get into the operational side of what makes direct mail work today: CRM-triggered campaigns, the importance of clean data, and dialing in your Ideal Client Profile so you mail to the right people at the right time. The episode closes by tying performance back to fundamentals—cost of acquisition, credibility signals (like correct name spelling), and the role of measurable direct mail stats—grounded with a practical marketing mindset influenced by leaders.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

If you listened to my last episode about creating income by teaching without becoming an influencer and thought, "That sounds great… but when would I actually find the time?",this episode is for you. In this conversation, I talk honestly about time management for therapists who want to create continuing education, without hustle culture, productivity pressure, or burnout. I break down why "I don't have time" makes complete sense for clinicians, and why the real issue usually isn't time at all, it's structure, energy, and permission. I explore the difference between clinical energy and creative energy, why waiting for long blocks of free time keeps therapists stuck, and how continuing education can be built in small, realistic containers that actually fit therapist life. I also share why most therapists already have far more teachable material than they realize and why starting smaller than you think is often the key to getting unstuck. This episode is especially for therapists who feel curious about teaching or creating CE, but overwhelmed by where it would fit, or whether they're "ready" to begin. Special Promotion: Berries + Free CE Podcourse Bundle (New Annual Customers) At the beginning of this episode, I shared a limited-time promotion in partnership with Berries. New customers who purchase the Berries annual subscription plan using my referral link will receive free access to my CE Podcourse Bundle, which includes over 30 hours of NBCC-approved continuing education contact hours, with new podcourses added throughout the year. A Podcourse is a podcast and an audio course in one - designed for busy clinicians. You can listen on a walk, between sessions, or whenever it fits into your schedule. When you're ready, you log in, complete a short self-study quiz, and download your certificate of completion.
