In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, you’re going to learn how you can intentionally create a team culture in your private practice that hs clinicians begging to work with you.

One thing I’ve learned from watching my wife build and grow her own group practice is that, well, it’s hard!

It can be a struggle to find great therapists to join your team and then provide enough benefits to ensure they stay.

Not only that, it can be hard to find others who share your vision and values for this practice that you’re building.

So what can you do to begin building a team culture at your private practice?

How do you nail down your hiring process from start to finish so that at the end of it, you know you’re hiring someone who cares about your vision and the impact you want to create through your private practice?

Today we’re speaking with Dawn Gabriel.

Dawn is the founder and CEO of Authentic Connections Counseling Center, a group practice consultant, and host of Soul Care for Therapists podcast. She is passionate about helping people achieve freedom from what is keeping them stuck and invites others to take a non-judgmental look deeper into their spirituality and faith.
