If you’re an accidental group practice owner, it’s okay—you started from a place of care and connection.

But your next chapter requires intention, leadership, and structure.

Too many group practice owners I talk to feel like they’re scraping by on “humidity.” They’re holding everything together with sheer determination but never feel fully nourished or resourced.

As a group practice owner, you are not just a clinician anymore. You are a business owner. That means the way you operate must be sustainable, boundaried, and legally sound.

You write contracts not only to protect your practice, but to clarify expectations and uphold your role as a business leader. And if your contractor agreement states that clinicians are only paid for sessions the clinic gets paid for—then that’s the agreement. Full stop.
