Whether you’re building your team or scaling to multiple locations, Group Practice Success is designed to help group practice owners who want clearer systems, stronger leadership, and more profitability – all with less overwhelm.

Group Practice Success provides a 12-month executive coaching and support program for psychotherapy group practice owners, with an ongoing month-to-month membership available after the first year. It includes personalized coaching, monthly group video calls, a 24/7 online forum, and a 4-day intensive retreat in Southern California.

Our GPS mastermind program was developed to help group practice owners dig deeper and reach higher. Members receive personalized coaching and gain support and knowledge from other success-minded business owners around the country.

That depends a lot on your follow-through and effort, but in our experience, you can expect a lot. We’ve often seen growth of 30–40% for many members, with some as high as 200% in less than a year. Our expectation is that your investment translates to business, professional, and personal growth that far exceeds the cost of the program.

And numbers are just part of the story. Most find the psychological gains and improved peace of mind that come with belonging to a solid and supportive group of therapists and business owners to be invaluable.

You get a lot. Ken Urie and Ernie Schmidt provide all the personalized coaching – join monthly group calls together – facilitate the GPS mastermind communities – provide the online coaching through a 24/7 portal – and make themselves fully available over the annual 4-day live events in Southern California. Ken and Ernie designed the GPS experience to teach and share all that they know about group practice.

Members of our GPS mastermind programs also build strong connections with the other group practice owners from across North America. Imagine learning from other highly ambitious, wise, supportive, and fun leaders. You’re no longer alone – you’re connected and supported. Our members say that makes all the difference!

GPS runs for 12 months, with the option to extend. Support and guidance from other group members accelerates your success — connecting, bonding and learning with other successful group practice owners is a gold mine.

GPS mastermind program membership with personalized coaching and group consultation includes a one-time enrollment of $1,495–1,995 plus 12 monthly payments of $695–895, depending on the program cohort. Members cover travel, accommodation and meals for the Southern California live-event intensives.

GPS 1:1 executive coaching is $495/hr.
