Growing from Solo to Group: In-Person Intensive

For therapist entrepreneurs ready to build a group practice that won't burn you out, in a small, focused group setting.
Limited to 10 participants.
Grab Your SeatIs This Training Right for You?
This training is for you if:
You're a solo practice owner who wants to grow into a group practice
You're just starting to think about what building a group practice would look like
You want a proven framework, not just a checklist, to guide every major decision from day one
You're ready to build your systems, hiring process, and culture right the first time, instead of fixing them later
This may not be the right fit if:
- You haven't started your solo practice yet
- You're only looking for a single quick answer, rather than a full framework
Already running a group practice and looking to troubleshoot what's not working? Stay tuned, a dedicated training for that is in the works.
You're Ready to Grow… Now What?
Your schedule is full. You're turning clients away. You know it's time to build a group practice, but the idea of hiring, managing, and scaling feels overwhelming.
How do you hire the right clinicians?
Should they be W2 employees or 1099 contractors?
What systems need to be in place to grow sustainably?
How do you market your practice authentically, without feeling salesy?
How do you keep clients engaged well beyond that first session?
How do you build a culture and profit margin that lasts, right from the start?
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Three Days, One Focused Room
Join us at our East Lansing office for a weekend built entirely around one thing: getting your group practice off the ground the right way. No hotel conference room, no distractions. Just a small, dedicated group working through the same material, together, with plenty of time for questions and real conversation.
Lunch included each day

You Won't Be Building This Alone
There's something different about learning alongside other therapist entrepreneurs who are building toward the same thing you are. Over six weeks, you're not just learning a framework. You're forming real relationships with people who understand exactly what it takes to grow a practice, because they're doing it too. Many participants leave with a small, trusted circle they keep coming back to long after the weekend ends.
Built on the SIPP Model
Successful, sustainable group practices build the foundation first. Think of it like a house: Self-Leadership, Impact, Process, and Profit are the foundation. If any one pillar is weak, everything built on top of it becomes unstable.
Inside that foundation live the granular, day-to-day pieces of your practice, the ice cubes you tend to and refine over time. Every week of this training is organized around this framework.
Impact covers hiring, culture, marketing, and therapist development. Process covers client intake, retention, and revenue cycle management. Profit covers your finances and investments. Self-Leadership underlies all of it.
Hiring
Who you bring into your practice, and how.
Culture & Therapist Development
The environment you create, and how you invest in your team's growth.
Marketing
How you consistently and authentically let people know you exist.
Therapist Identity
Knowing who you are as a clinician shapes how you lead and market.
Client Intake & Retention
From first inquiry to well beyond the first session.
Revenue Cycle Management
From first inquiry to well beyond the first session.
Finances
Your revenue, expenses, profit margins, and financial plan.
Investments
Investing intentionally back into your practice.
The Same Proven Curriculum. A Deeper, More Personal Experience
Everything from the live online training, delivered face to face over one immersive weekend.
We will cover everything you need to build a successful group practice. You'll receive a structured workbook you can refer back to again and again as you build. And you'll meet other therapist entrepreneurs doing the same thing, because building alongside a community matters.
