What would you do if your world turned upside down overnight—and you still had a business to run? In this episode, I sit down with Kristin Mervich, a therapist, mom of two (with one on the way), and coaching powerhouse who opens up about her son's recent cancer diagnosis and how it completely upended her life.

Meet Melanie Snyder, a therapist and the owner of Tri-State Psychotherapy Group, a multi-state group practice that serves clients in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey. They provide individual, family, and couples therapy and have clinicians that speak Mandarin and Spanish. She currently lives in New York state but previously lived in Massachusetts, where she started her private practice. At that time many of her clients were college students and she wanted to be able to continue to provide therapy when they returned home for breaks and the summer. Recognizing a need she began hiring a year and a half ago and her team has grown to 15 clinicians! She shares her challenges navigating federal, state, and licensure regulations, the administrative side of the business, as well as carrying a caseload. Key takeaways: There is no multi-state checklist out there! Ensure you are familiar with the state licensure and employment laws of the clinicians you hire. Connect with and learn from other therapists who are doing what you want to do. Retreats can be a helpful way to make your team feel closer and connected to one another. Be clear and upfront about expectations in the beginning so it is clear what to prioritize and there is less need for micromanagement. Melanie's links: Website Facebook
