Still time to join today's call at 330 eastern time. Message me for more info.

Building a thriving private-pay psychotherapy practice takes more than marketing or figuring out the latest social media algorithm.

A thriving practice is built not only by attracting clients, but by becoming a therapist clients and colleagues trust. Therapy happens between people, not in an algorithm.

The Practice Building Lab is a community where therapists can support one another, think honestly about the practices they want to build, and learn from each other’s experiences. I’ll contribute what I’ve learned over 20 years in private practice, including lessons about quality of care, professional reputation, referral relationships, fees, policies, and sustainable growth.

The current cohort is for male therapists because it grew out of requests from men who wanted to build their practices alongside other men. There is one more complimentary introductory meeting before enrollment closes. After that, the closed group will meet twice a month for 90 minutes.

If you’re interested in joining the current Practice Building Lab, send me a DM with the word LAB.

I'm so happy to see this program growing in Tampa Bay. In 2008, we had our first Survivor Day program that was only 45 minutes long and had very limited programming.

Today, we have two locations, a more robust program offering, and with our partnership with Nova Southeastern University - Tampa Bay Regional Campus, teenage survivors of su***de loss now have a place to find support and community. There is also going to be a Survivor Day on both sides of the Bay this year, which makes it even more accessible to people who need it!

If you've lost a loved one to su***de, this is a great opportunity to find hope and share your story of loss and healing.

UPDATE: I just sent an email to 10 men interested in growing sustainable, fee-for-service therapy practices!

The Practice Building Lab will hold its first meeting on September 25 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern. This first group is for men because several of the therapists who expressed interest specifically asked for a men’s group.

I’m also open to working with women who are interested in building sustainable private-pay practices, either individually or as part of a future group.

Feel free to reach out using any contact information you have for me if you would like to learn more!

I’m putting together a small group for guys who are getting established in the field and want to build a solid private-pay practice without having to figure everything out the hard way.

We’ll talk about things like finding your niche, building referral relationships, getting more comfortable with fees, marketing yourself without feeling fake, and putting better systems in place.

I have 3 men in the group now and room for 2 more. If you’re interested, message me and I’ll tell you more. We will have our first meeting within the next two weeks via Zoom.

Check out the great and important work Dr. Carly Paro Tompkins is doing to learn about and bring hope to teens impacted by su***de loss.

UPDATE:

Wow. The response to this group has been even more exciting than I anticipated.

The conversations I’ve had with interested therapists have given me a chance to look back over my 20 years in private practice and think about both the easy lessons and the ones I had to learn the hard way. Getting to share some of that with other therapists has been an unexpected bit of fun.

On Friday, September 25 at 3:30 p.m. ET, I’ll meet with a small group of about six men from one side of the country to the other, who want to build fee-for-service practices that support the professional lives they want while allowing them to provide quality therapy to their clients.

I’m looking forward to getting to know them, hearing what they’re hoping to build, and seeing where this group takes us.
