“I was really struggling and I had no idea really what I was doing. I reached out to GPS, and with them I was able to start to strategically plan my growth.

Why Be a Group Practice Owner Now?

Group practice ownership is a high calling – inviting greater contribution, positive impact and shared rewards.
Demand for mental health services remains strong, and group practices are uniquely positioned to meet this important need.
As an owner, you have the chance to:
  • Design your ideal business – while creating your ideal life
  • Help more clients – with less time for you “in the chair”
  • Grow your impact and income – for you and your team
  • Lead with vision – and advance your mission
  • Build a valuable asset – invested in the future.

“Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life forever.”

Coaching approach for group practice owners
Our approach goes beyond quick fixes or one‑size‑fits‑all advice.
We help practice owners:
  • Lead with courage — step into the arena even when it feels uncertain.
  • Master the art of business – create a practice that is meaningful, beautiful, and enduring.
  • Build strong foundations — develop systems and strategies that steady the practice in every season.
  • Thrive in community – navigate group practice ownership with a tribe of colleagues who share wisdom, support, and encouragement along the way.
We don’t just teach business skills — we help you grow into the leader your business needs.
Owning a group practice is more than running a business — it’s a personal journey. It stretches our courage, resilience, leadership, and vision.
