All Things Private Practice Podcast Episode 112: From Hot Mess To Success: Own Your CEO Status [featuring Brandy Mabra]
Turning your Private Practice into a Group practice often feels like a hot mess. Flying by the seat of our pants, not taking profit, hiring the wrong people, and bleeding money happens time and time again. In this episode, I talk with Brandy Mabra, CEO of Savvy Clover Coaching, about Owning Your CEO Status.
Here are 3 key issues that we address:
1. Lack of clarity and guidance in navigating the business aspects of running a private practice, especially for mental health practitioners who may have limited business training.
2. Struggles with team management, delegation, and creating efficient workflows within the practice, leading to burnout and limited growth potential.
3. Difficulty in finding the balance between being a successful CEO, ensuring the business runs smoothly, and being able to enjoy personal freedom and time off.
The good news is, there are a lot of things you can do to set yourself up for success including policy and procedure creation, leadership development, and so much more.

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.
