It can be intimidating for many practice owners to hire outside of their disciplines to create a more well-rounded clinic. Does that resonate with you? We understand how scary it can be, but we’re sharing how to do so intentionally! Enter Kendall Hagensen, LMHC, BC-DMT, the Founder of Vancouver Wellness Studio, a multidisciplinary clinic. In this episode, Kendall unpacks her experience with building her practice, hiring and leading a team of multidisciplinary practitioners, and trauma-informed leadership.

 

Kendall is a Somatic Mental Health Therapist, Multidisciplinary Clinic Owner and Business Coach. She specializes in, and is passionate about, working with healthcare professionals to create the businesses of their dreams. Big goals always have a psychological component beneath the surface, so Kendall uses her background in Somatic Psychotherapy and EMDR Therapy mixed with Business Coaching tools to help clients develop a healthy relationship with their business and their strength as a leader. As someone who lives with a chronic illness herself, Kendall feels that health happens best within community, which is why she takes a holistic, integrative, and collaborative wellness approach to her personal and professional life.
