Episode 154: The Power of Group Therapy in Private Practice [featuring Brittany Bate]

Group therapy services are a great option for therapists who want to diversify their practice and enhance client connection. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Brittany Bate, owner of Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting, about the ins and outs of running successful therapy groups. Brittany shares her extensive experience and offers insightful tips for therapists who want to incorporate group therapy into their practice. 3 Key Takeaways: Consistency in Marketing is Crucial: Don't shy away from posting multiple times across various platforms and track your marketing efforts. Remember, people need to see something multiple times before they take action. Know Your Audience and Needs: Focus on timely group topics that meet current demands, and you can analyze your client caseload and community discussions for ideas. Benefits for Clinicians and Clients: Group therapy offers more accessible options for clients and diversifies clinician workload to break the monotony of 1-on-1 sessions. Remember to establish clear structures for therapeutic and financial efficacy. Brittany’s insights are great for anyone looking to expand their practice offerings and bring clients together in meaningful ways.
