40: Breaking the Mold: Patrice Flannagan-Morris on Redefining Mental Health Care
In this episode, we sit down with Patrice Flannagan-Morris, a trailblazing mental health professional from Wisconsin, who shares her inspiring journey from agency work to building a thriving group mental health practice. With a team of seven clinicians, her practice offers a diverse range of services, including individual and couples counseling and community workshops, all designed to challenge the traditional medical model of therapy.
Patrice opens up about the unexpected twists and turns in her career, including how her carefully crafted five-year plan fell apart, forcing her to reimagine her goals and create something new. She discusses the challenges of hiring and managing a team in private practice—something she initially thought would be straightforward—and the steep learning curve that came with it.
Through resilience and innovation, Patrice has worked tirelessly to break the mold of what therapy is "supposed" to look like. She shares how she’s built a practice that prioritizes authenticity, accessibility, and community impact over rigid systems that can sometimes harm those seeking help.
Whether you're a mental health professional considering starting your own practice or someone curious about how therapy can evolve to better serve people, this episode is packed with insights, lessons learned, and inspiration for anyone looking to forge their own path.
Tune in for an honest and empowering conversation about resilience, innovation, and creating meaningful change in the world of mental health care!
Patrice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of WI, running a group mental health and emotional wellness practice, Empowerment Within LLC. She started Empowerment Within LLC in Nov of 2019 and it has steadily grown in the last 5 years to have a total of 7 clinicians that she oversees. As a therapist and employer she focuses on personal growth in self-compassion, self-understanding and getting to be a better friend to yourself and achieve your goals through alignment.
