For Therapy Group Practice Owners

1-on-1 Coaching/Consulting is flexible, personalized, and focused on your unique needs.

Our GPS membership programs are the heart of what we do. But what if a group program isn’t currently the right fit for you?

Our 1-on-1 coaching meets you exactly where you are, with no rigid structure and no long-term commitment required.

Group Practice Success

Every practice owner’s path looks different.

Some are ready for the accountability and energy of a peer community. Others need something quieter — focused time with one experienced guide to think through a specific challenge, get unstuck on a decision, or simply figure out their next right step.

That’s what 1:1 coaching is for. It’s flexible, personalized, and shaped entirely around your goals, your challenges, and your pace — not a curriculum.

“Success isn’t just about getting bigger — it’s about scaling wisely, with clarity and confidence.”

How It Works

No rigid structure. No long-term commitment. Just a process designed to meet you where you are.

01

Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation about your goals, challenges, and what kind of support would actually help.

02

We Find Your Fit

Together, we’ll decide whether Ken or Ernie is the right coach for you, based on your needs and working style.

03

Coaching Tailored to You

Your coaching is built around your goals and pace — no fixed curriculum, just focused, individualized support.

Let’s Talk About What You Need

Schedule a free initial consultation and we’ll help you figure out the right kind of support — whether that’s 1:1 coaching, a GPS membership program, or something else entirely.

What’s Included

Is 1:1 Coaching Right for You?

This option is best for practice owners who want direct, individualized support.

Specific Challenges

You’re working through clear business problems and want an experienced sounding board, not a full program.

Clarity on Next Steps

You know something needs to change but aren’t sure what — you want help mapping the path forward with confidence.

Testing the Waters

You’re curious about coaching and want to experience it firsthand before committing to a group program.

What Others Say About the GPS Experience

“The opportunity to learn from the GPS coaches is a game changer for anyone aspiring to take their group practice to the next level. They have built their respective practices in very different ways and will be able to help you further build your clinic in your unique way. Being in a group with them you will be encouraged as well as challenged, and you will become part of a community of supportive colleagues.”

“Ernie Schmidt is encyclopedic on anything having to do with business development. He’s as sharp as a knife at dissecting any place where the marketing process or the operational process might be breaking down or cramping growth…Ken Urie is a visionary. He has a gift for getting your eyes back on the goal and reminding you of whatever it is in you that at some point knew that you could do it…”
