Presented By: Christine Barker, LCPC and Carmel Brown, LCPC

Description

Growing a private practice requires more than clinical excellence—it requires clear systems, strategic decision-making, financial literacy, and a values-aligned vision for sustainability. This course is designed for therapists and wellness practitioners who have established a foundation in private practice and are ready to intentionally grow, stabilize, and scale in a way that protects both income and wellbeing.

Participants will learn how to assess readiness for growth, strengthen infrastructure, optimize operations, diversify revenue streams, and design a scalable practice model that aligns with their professional values and long-term goals. Emphasis is placed on ethical growth, burnout prevention, and building practices that are financially viable, clinically sound, and personally sustainable.

Through a combination of practical frameworks, real-world examples, and guided reflection, attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for their next phase of growth — whether that means increasing caseload efficiency, expanding into group or multi-clinician practice, launching adjunct services, or creating additional income streams.


ð¯ Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Assess their current practice stage and identify appropriate scaling pathways

  • Identify operational and financial indicators of readiness for growth

  • Build core systems that support sustainable scaling

  • Compare scaling models (solo optimization, group practice, hybrid, diversified income)

  • Develop a values-aligned growth plan and 12-month roadmap

  • Recognize common pitfalls and ethical considerations in expansion
