Hiring the right clinician can make or break your practice, and private practice hiring is one of the most important decisions you will make as an owner. In this episode, I’m sharing my exact approach to hiring a therapist, including the one question I always ask to quickly assess fit and avoid costly mistakes.

I walk you through how I think about clinical interview questions, why I rely on behavioral-based questions, and how this one simple question helps me determine whether someone truly aligns with my practice. If you’ve ever struggled with private practice hiring or felt unsure about your clinical interview questions, this will give you a much clearer framework.

• Why hiring a therapist is one of the highest stakes decisions in your business

• The exact question I use in every interview and how it improves private practice hiring

• How to use behavioral-based questions to uncover real fit instead of rehearsed answers

• What strong answers to clinical interview questions actually sound like

• Red flags I’ve seen when hiring a therapist and how better clinical interview questions can reveal them early

• How private practice hiring gets easier when you focus on alignment instead of just credentials

• Why behavioral-based questions help you avoid hiring the wrong clinician

If you want to feel more confident hiring a therapist and improve your private practice hiring process, this episode will help you refine your clinical interview questions and use behavioral-based questions to find the right fit for your practice.
