Are You Leaving Group Therapy Practice? Here's How to Take Your Clients Without Burning Bridges [Ep 120]


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm tackling one of the biggest questions therapists face when transitioning to private practice: can you take your clients with you when leaving a group therapy practice?

Being able to take your clients with you can be the difference between starting with a full caseload instead of scrambling for referrals. But how do you handle this tricky transition without burning bridges? I’m breaking down exactly what you need to know about client transitions - from reviewing your contract to having that ‘awkward’ conversation with the group practice owner. I'll share how to approach this situation with transparency and kindness while preserving relationships. You'll learn the two possible paths for client transitions and how to handle each one professionally.

If you're preparing to make the leap to private practice or just want to understand your options for the future, this episode will give you the roadmap to transition with integrity and confidence. Listen in for a step-by-step guide to navigating this significant career move without the drama!
