Have you ever considered expanding the services offered in your group practice beyond one-on-one counseling? 
 
Expanding services in a group practice can be a game-changer. In this rerelease episode, I discuss the benefits of doing just that - specifically offering CEs (Continuing Education) and/or training in the community. As a group practice owner myself, I have found that diversifying our services has not only increased our revenue but also reduced burnout among our team members. Join me to learn more about:
 
  • Benefits of becoming CE providers in your group practice
  • Offering CEs to the community or therapists while making sure it aligns with your business values
  • Considering questions like: Who will be the training providers? and Who will run and spearhead the program?
  • Realistic timelines to build, market, and reach the break-even point
  • Steps to screen candidates to ensure the quality and relevance of the training
 
Expanding services in a group practice can have numerous benefits. By offering workshops, webinars, and speaking engagements, you not only diversify your services but also provide opportunities for your team members to be paid for their presentations. Building a profitable program takes time and effort, but the financial benefits can be well worth it.

Have you been considering how you can effectively employ part-time and full-time clinicians in your practice? 

In this episode, I delve into the benefits and challenges of hiring part-time and full-time clinicians. I share my personal experience of starting my practice with part-time clinicians and how it has impacted work-life balance expectations. Join me to learn more about:

  • The importance of considering factors such as workplace culture, income, benefits, burnout, and personal fulfillment when employing clinicians.

  • The shift in work-life balance expectations due to COVID-19 and how it has influenced the trend of more people seeking part-time employment.

  • The benefits of offering part-time options, such as attracting a wider pool of talent and providing flexibility for clinicians.

  • The challenges of managing schedules and maintaining consistency in client care with part-time clinicians.

  • The importance of maintaining transparency with staff about the impact of offering part-time options.

 

Employing part-time and full-time clinicians in your practice can bring both benefits and challenges. By carefully considering factors such as workplace culture and maintaining transparency with staff, you can create a balanced and fulfilling work environment for your clinicians.

Have you ever wondered how insurance companies are impacting the mental health industry? 

In this episode, I dive into the influence of insurance companies in group practice. Insurance companies are moving away from paying based on the duration of therapy sessions and towards paying for the quality of care provided. This shift could potentially result in lower reimbursements for therapists, unless we advocate for how values-based care should be reimbursed. Additionally, I discuss the trend of insurance companies owning group practices, which gives them control over therapist compensation and allows them to increase profits. It's important for us as mental health practitioners to understand and adapt to these changes in order to thrive in the evolving landscape. Join me to learn more about:

  • The shift from duration-based reimbursement to values-based reimbursement by insurance companies
  • The importance of advocating for fair reimbursement rates and how measurement of care should be based
  • The trend of insurance companies owning group practices and its impact on therapist compensation

As group practice owners, it's crucial for us to stay informed and proactive in navigating the influence of insurance companies in group practice. By understanding these changes and advocating for fair reimbursement, we can continue to provide quality care to our clients while also ensuring the sustainability of our practices.

In this episode, I discuss the importance of assessing the leadership team in your group practice.

Is your staff clear on what their role and function is in your practice? If not… that could be hindering your growth and success.

In this second episode of the six-week Accountability Equation™ podcast series, I focus on the first A of the five A's, which is "assemble". I explain how assembling the right team and clearly defining roles and responsibilities is crucial for setting up accountability in your practice. I even provide an overview of a helpful matrix that outlines the core responsibilities for each role in your business. Join me as I discuss:

  • The difference between roles and functions: Roles are specific positions in the organization with their own set of responsibilities and expectations, while functions are the tasks and responsibilities within those roles.

  • Why job titles and organizational charts are not helpful in providing clarity and understanding of responsibilities.

  • The core roles and functions of a group practice including: visionary, integrator, sales and marketing, operations (administrative, HR, clinical), finance, and DEI.

  • Steps to avoid building roles and functions that keep you stagnant by envisioning where your business should be, rather than where it currently stands.

  • How spending time in the assemble phase helps clarify roles, reduce confusion, and promote collaboration and teamwork. 

Don’t start setting up your accountability system in your practice without first understanding this stage. This step is crucial as it provides clarity to everyone in the practice about their areas of authority.
