Money Skills For Therapists

As a therapist, you’re a helper and healer by nature, but do you see yourself as a leader in your clinical work or in your solo or group practice? In this episode, Linzy is joined by Steph Davis and Cecilia Mannella for a conversation about leadership in therapy. Together, they discuss what leadership looks like at the clinical level, as a business owner, and as the boss who is leading a team, and they explore why therapists often struggle to utilize their leadership skills and own their role as a leader. Steph and Cecilia dive into their experiences with leadership in therapy and group practice, sharing their insights and what lights them up about the work they’re doing. They also give a sneak peek into their upcoming virtual summit for therapy practice owners who are serious about the business and leadership of their practice.

What if the financial challenge you’re facing in your practice isn’t actually what you think it is, but something larger? In this coaching conversation, Linzy sits down with Money Skills for Group Practice Owners graduate Lauren Worley to dive deep into a problem that Lauren is experiencing in her group practice: the money isn’t there, even though it seems like it should be. As they dig into Lauren’s numbers and start to explore why things are financially tight, it becomes apparent that the thing Lauren initially thought was the issue within her practice is just a distraction to a deeper problem. Once they uncover the real financial problem, they are able to focus on what needs to change in order for Lauren’s group practice to be financially healthy and stable. Group practice is a complex machine, but this episode will show you that when you are able to look at and understand your numbers, and be curious about the math and about finding solutions to your problems, you can make changes that will transform the financial health and sustainability of your practice.

What becomes possible when you’re intentional with your money? In this co-hosted episode, Linzy & Diane dive into a conversation about money that’s both philosophical and practical. Together, they explore the idea that money is essentially an inert tool — it doesn’t have meaning until we determine its purpose and give it a job. Linzy and Diane talk about practical ways to give your dollars a clear function, and they reflect on what they’ve seen shift and change in their own lives as they’ve shown up in their businesses, made investments, and created meaning with their money. When you’re intentional with your money, your dollars can become skills, systems, freedom, growth, and the building blocks for the business and life you want to create.
