All Things Private Practice Podcast Episode 82: The Benefits of Putting People Over Profit [featuring Amanda Landry]
Starting a private therapy practice means becoming a business owner, wearing all the hats, and being more than just a therapist.
It can feel stressful to suddenly have to step into a non-therapy role, especially if you never learned how or if you flat-out hate doing the necessary tasks that come with business ownership.
These things can become real struggles and roadblocks for therapists pursuing entrepreneurship, but there is also a solution—incorporating good support systems into your business operations.
In this episode, I talk with Amanda Landry, therapist, group practice owner, and co-moderator of My Private Practice Collective Facebook Group.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Understand the benefits of allocating tasks and how it can accelerate business growth and income.
- Identify what roles as a private practice business owner are the best ones for you to outsource that result in the most benefit for you and your business.
- Learn how to implement a people-over-profit business model that actually generates more money and supports your staff.
Outsourcing is an important component of scaling a business, but there are good and bad ways to implement it, so it's important to approach it with the right mindset and plan. If you take care of the people taking care of you, you'll set yourself up for rapid growth and success.

Resilient Mind Counseling
It's Patrick. Some of you may know that I own a group therapy practice in North Carolina, Resilient Mind Counseling. We specialize in supporting the Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and Black, Brown, and Asian communities online and across North Carolina. We also have limited in-person openings at our offices in Asheville and Cary. We really love working with clients who are coming to terms with both Autism and ADHD discoveries later in life or questioning, as well as the intersections of race, gender, identity, and orientation. All of our therapists have lived experience and identify as AuDHD, Autistic, or ADHD. Our team of affirming therapists offers a safe, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and accessible space where you can show up exactly as you are—no masking, no judgment, and no need to make eye contact, just real connection and healing. We accept most commercial insurances like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Aetna, and Med Cost, as well as self-pay options. We currently have openings for new clients. Visit our website at resilientmindcounseling.com. You can also text or call our HIPAA-compliant phone line at (828) 515-1246, or email us at scheduling@resilientmindcounseling.com.
