You know how we are always talking about dismantling harmful systems on this podcast? Well…what happens when those systems show up inside group practices?

This conversation with Andie Baumgartner and Nadia Parfenova from Rowan Tree Counseling goes deep into the complicated, emotionally loaded relationship between practice owners and employees. And, in fact, it was THE conversation that helped me realize we needed to work with employees as well as business owners in the Group Practice (R)evolution!

Topics include:

• Therapist burnout and workplace trauma

• Transparency, hierarchy, and power dynamics

• Why trust feels so difficult in therapy workplaces

• The emotional realities of group practice ownership

• Risk tolerance, private practice culture, and clinician anxiety

From the fear many clinicians carry into the workplace to the pressure practice owners feel holding entire businesses together, we unpack what's happening behind the scenes in the therapy industry and what it might actually take to build healthier, more sustainable working relationships.
