Scale Your Therapy Practice Fast: Clinicians, Clients, Cash & Space

 In this episode, Julie walks you through the four critical systems you need to grow your therapy practice quickly and sustainably. You’ll learn how to recruit clinicians before you need them, attract a steady stream of clients, plan for cashflow dips, and optimize your office space.

By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to coordinate all four factors—so your practice can expand without burning out your team or your bank account.

Listen for solutions:

  • If you’re hiring more clinicians but are worried about cash flow, you’ll learn how to budget and finance growth.
  • If you need a reliable client‑generation system, you’ll discover the metrics and processes to track.
  • If your office feels maxed out, you’ll get practical tips to squeeze more value from every square foot.
