Welcome to the Wellness Center Creators podcast, where we explore innovative approaches to health and wellness practice management. In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Rudel as co-host, and our special guest, Jennifer Cobb. Jennifer is a licensed clinical social worker and private practice owner who specializes in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). We delve into the unique collaborative community model that Jennifer's practice employs, a hybrid of W-2 employment and a cooperative, allowing clinicians to take ownership of their schedules and income while fostering a supportive environment. "We call it a “collaborative community” model. And I think it's a unique way to be able to have a practice. It's really just this… We trust each other, and we've done things to show that we deserve that trust and as adults we just get to do our best within that." You will gain insights into how this model benefits both practitioners and clients, and hear about the upcoming retreat for practice owners looking to build and grow their businesses. Whether you're a wellness practitioner or interested in the business side of therapy, this episode is packed with valuable lessons and inspiration!

What do you do when a practitioner decides to move on? It’s inevitable that this will happen within your practice. Today I answer a listener question from a chiropractor and clinic owner in Vancouver, BC, who is navigating the tricky process of offboarding a practitioner from their wellness center. I share the challenges and best practices I've learned when it comes to smoothly transitioning a departing provider. The listener has been running their clinic for just over a year and is now facing the inevitable – one of their practitioners, a clinical counselor, has decided to venture out on their own. While they're supportive of their colleague's decision, the task of finding a replacement and ensuring a seamless transition for clients has become a top priority. "Making it a smooth transition is all about prioritizing the clients. One thing that can be kind of a best practice option in these scenarios is to have a formal letter that is given to all the clients that explains the transition." I dive deep into the key considerations for offboarding a practitioner. This actually starts with the onboarding process, and legal agreements to the administrative and relational aspects. I emphasize the importance of having clear protocols in place, such as return of company property, client information handoffs, and the recommended notice period (hint: it's longer than the traditional two weeks). I believe this episode is essential for any clinic owner or wellness center leader who has faced or anticipates facing the challenge of a practitioner departure. I provide invaluable insights on how to navigate these transitions with grace, maintaining positive relationships and, most importantly, ensuring the continued care and support of clients.

Can you create a wellness center that helps the entire family? You sure can! In this episode, I talk with Kris La Fave Smith, the owner of Village Wellness Center in Orange County, California. Kris is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has built a group practice with a team of seven clinicians, each specializing in different areas of mental health and wellness. Kris first discovered her passion for therapy at the young age of 15, but it took her about 15 years to finally pursue her master's degree and become a licensed clinician. She started her career working in trauma and maternal mental health, before expanding her practice to serve the whole family. During the pandemic, Kris hired her first associate and learned valuable lessons about creating a collaborative, supportive team culture. During our conversation, Kris discusses how Village Wellness Center has evolved to offer a wide range of services, from EMDR therapy for trauma to faith-based counseling. Her goal is to provide comprehensive, wraparound care for clients, with clinicians who specialize in different areas. While Kris still sees clients herself, she has found a better work-life balance by running her own practice versus working in a clinic setting. "This wasn't about me, it was about this more internal drive or need for me to help somebody else in a position that I was once in and know the struggle of. And bringing on somebody as less of an employee, but more as a partner." This episode is a must-listen for therapists who dream of building their own wellness center. Kris shares inspiring insights with me on creating a thriving team, adapting to growth, and putting family first as a business owner. Listeners will walk away feeling motivated to take the leap and pursue their own vision of an integrated, holistic practice.

Ever wonder what it takes to build a successful online program in the wellness industry? In this episode of my podcast, I had an enlightening chat with Lori Kennedy about mastering online program creation. With extensive wellness industry expertise, Lori provided invaluable insights on transitioning from one-on-one work to scalable online offerings. As a seasoned professional, Lori realized practitioners need new approaches to grow their impact. She helps coaches design programs aligned to their skills and goals, whether one-on-one support, group coaching, a fusion model, or self-guided learning. "I realized very quickly after working with a handful of clients that the model that I was taught, the model to sell time, 60-minute sessions for $150… That was not actually going to set me up for success." Lori explained the unique benefits of each program type, so practitioners can effectively deliver their methodology to more clients. By choosing the right framework, we can share our gifts at scale. This conversation is essential listening for any wellness pro aiming to create online programs and scalable income streams. Lori inspired me with practical guidance on overcoming obstacles and building resilience. "I wanted to find a way to be able to have it all. I wanted to find a way to be able to do what I wanted to do, to work with people, to support them because my life was transformed by a naturopath. I wanted to be successful, and I also really wanted to be present with my kids. That was really important to me." To explore more of Lori's wisdom, visit her website or on Instagram @lorikennedyinc and take her free quiz to uncover the ideal program model for you.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by chiropractor Josh Satterlee, DC about the concept of trauma-informed care and how it can transform patient communication. As a mental health counselor, I shared my perspective on adopting a trauma-informed approach in clinical settings. "What I mean by trauma informed is that we are considering the whole person that we are interacting with and assuming most of the time correctly that they are of course coming into this interaction with us with their own unique life story." Drawing from our experience, we outlined how we implement trauma-informed principles in our practices, from hiring staff to interactions with patients. By considering each person's unique experiences and responses, we aim to create a safe, supportive environment tailored to their needs. Together, Josh and I explored the mindset shift involved in trauma-informed care - understanding what happened to someone rather than what is wrong with them. We discussed the value of validating patient experiences, promoting autonomy, and involving them in treatment plans. "We're looking at them as a whole person and we're involving them in their treatment plan... if I'm going to ask my patient to do something at home or we're going to ask them to go take 10 supplements, the first question is, how does this work within your lifestyle? Does this feel manageable? And let's form it in a way that it does." For medical professionals and employers, this episode offers insights on improving collaboration through open communication and establishing trust. Josh and I emphasize the power of creating safe spaces where people feel comfortable sharing their stories. I'm grateful to Josh for an enlightening dialogue on patient care centered around understanding and compassion. His trauma-informed approach offers a model for supporting patients on their health journeys. Join us for this compelling conversation about the human side of healthcare.

In this episode, I talk with Jenn Collins, an experienced acupuncturist and founder of a virtual reception company, about the importance of virtual services for healthcare practitioners. We discuss how it can help acupuncturists and chiropractors improve their practices. “A lot of people don't realize how significant it is until it starts happening for them. And they're like, oh my goodness, my business is really grown just because we answered the phone.” - Jenn Collins Jenn has been an acupuncturist in Oregon for over 20 years. She also runs a virtual reception firm specializing in phone coverage, appointments, and admin support for acupuncturists and chiropractors. With her extensive field experience, Jenn understands the management challenges practitioners face. Our conversation explores Jenn’s organic transition into the virtual reception business. She shares how she hired her previous receptionist remotely after realizing the potential of cloud-based apps like Jane. This sparked the launch of her virtual reception company Acu-Hub, which now assists numerous practitioners nationwide. We discuss the ideal scenario for practitioners to benefit from virtual reception. Jenn highlights that busy solo practitioners seeing 30-40 weekly clients struggle to afford full-time in-person reception. Her services offer a cost-effective solution, allowing practitioners to focus on quality care. This episode is perfect for acupuncturists and chiropractors seeking to streamline operations and reduce admin burdens. Jenn provides valuable insights on how virtual reception can enhance efficiency and productivity, whether practitioners have an office manager or need a new receptionist. Jenn offers a free 30-minute call for acupuncturists and chiropractors to explore the benefits of virtual reception. Jenn has also expanded her services through Chiro-Hub to further support chiropractors.
