Have you ever wondered how to empower therapists in your group practice, especially those who are just starting out or are provisionally licensed? In this episode, I had the honor of chatting with Shannon Heers, an Approved Clinical Supervisor and founder of Firelight Supervision, about boosting the confidence of therapists.

Shannon, with her expertise from Firelight Supervision, shared invaluable strategies for overcoming these hurdles. Here are some of the key takeaways from our discussion: How common it is for therapists, particularly those new to the profession, to experience imposter syndrome. The need to differentiate between actual competence and the feeling of confidence, providing strategies to manage these doubts. The importance of offering supervision that helps therapists grow and feel more secure in their abilities. Steps that group practice owners can take to cultivate a nurturing environment that encourages therapists to develop resilience and confidence. Practical tips for therapists to build their confidence, including self-reflection, seeking feedback, and engaging in continuous learning.

Have you been diligently tracking metrics and setting goals for your practice, but are still stuck not seeing visible results? In today's episode I took a deep dive into how to actually get your team to take action to make progress toward your practice’s goals. Because success doesn’t come from setting goals or tracking metrics; it comes as the result of the actions we take based on the information we gather. In this episode, I focus on the importance of action in achieving our objectives as group practice owners. I discussed the significance of leadership meetings, not just as a formality, but as a platform to celebrate our successes, assess our journey, and activate our team for action. I also explain the need to distill our larger goals into smaller, more manageable tasks, setting quarterly and biweekly milestones to keep us on track. If you have some big goals for your group practice that you’re ready to set in motion, join me to learn more about: Remember that setting goals is just the beginning. It's the consistent, deliberate actions we take that will lead you to success in your group practice. Let's keep moving forward, one step at a time! Thanks for listening! Like what you heard?

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: As group practice owners, it's crucial for us to stay informed and proactive in navigating the influence of insurance companies in group practice.
