Welcome! My guest today is Tanisha Sapp, who is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. Tanisha is here to address a highly-requested topic among those in private practice: how to expand your practice and add other clinicians.
Join us to hear Tanisha address the following aspects of this topic:
- After about a year of her private practice, Tanisha had a client waiting list and knew she needed to generate more income. It was time to expand!
- Tanisha describes how and to whom she advertised to find her potential colleagues.
- Tanisha hired a coach to help her in the transition to a group practice.
- Things to consider include scheduling, office space, and how to choose clinicians who would be “a good fit.”
- It was difficult for Tanisha to “let go” of some of her “client time” in order to take on the role of CEO of the practice.
- Tanisha decided to keep those clients who were specifically in her niche area and transition others to her newly hired colleagues.
- There are some essentials to consider when developing contracts for colleagues:
- An attorney
- Fee specifics
- General protocol
- Scheduling guidelines
- Limits on side work
- One of the biggest surprises for Tanisha was how the mentorship process developed for her as her colleagues began to look up to her as a role model.
- Tanisha explains her long term plans for her practice, including expanding and beginning a Sex Therapy Institute.
Tanisha has some very practical tips for those looking to expand into a group practice. She is an example of someone who learned from those who have “done it well,” and now she is happy to pass along her expertise in this area. Thanks for joining us!
