🎧 Ready to Grow Your Practice Without Losing Your Soul? This Episode’s for You.

In this episode, Gordon sits down with Gary Katz—psychotherapist, group practice owner, and intimacy expert—who’s scaling his business across state lines without sacrificing connection, clinical quality, or his sanity.

Gary opens up about what it really takes to grow a group practice that feels good, not just on paper, but in your body, your calendar, and your team culture. From building tight-knit pods of therapists to letting go of perfection and people-pleasing, this conversation is packed with honest insights and refreshingly human advice.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “zero to one” is the scariest (and most emotional) business step
  • How Gary structures growth without becoming a therapy mill
  • What it looks like to say no with love—and lead with your values
  • Whether you're just thinking about hiring or deep in the weeds of leading a team, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently—and do it with heart.

Press play and let’s go.

Meet Gary Katz

Gary Katz is a psychotherapist and founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery in New York, focusing on intimacy and relationships. He believes self-intimacy is essential for genuine connection with others. Many develop protective strategies for their hearts that later hinder the intimacy they seek. The Center helps clients overcome these barriers and build deeper connections.

To address healthy sexuality and issues like compulsive behaviors and betrayal trauma, Gary studied at the Modern Sex Therapy Institute, joined the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, and became a Certified Sex Addiction and Partner Trauma Therapist through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals.

He has also trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and EMDR to address trauma stored in the body.

Before his current practice, Gary spent over 20 years as a rabbi.
