In this episode, I talked with Jessica Harris, LCSW and business coach for therapists, about her journey from building a thriving private pay group practice to selling it to focus solely on empowering other therapists through her coaching.

Key Takeaways:

Transitioning with Strategy: Jessica reveals how she successfully sold her group practice while ensuring continuity and support for her team, opting to sell it to a trusted colleague rather than a faceless firm.
Balancing Passion and Practicality: Learn from Jessica's experience of balancing a booming coaching business with the demands of running a group practice, and how she decided to follow her true passion.
Importance of Mindset: Jessica emphasizes the critical role of mindset in business growth and shares how trusting her intuition has led to continuous success in her entrepreneurial journey.

More about Jessica:

Jessica Harris is an LCSW and business coach for therapists growing a private pay practice. After building a thriving private pay group practice—where she hired six therapists and consistently attracted 5-10 full-fee clients weekly—Jessica sold her therapy practice to focus solely on empowering other therapists to get cash-pay clients. She now dedicates herself to coaching therapists through her 12-week program, designed to help therapists simplify marketing and fill their caseload with cash-pay clients. Jessica is on a mission to help therapists everywhere create financial abundance and achieve their dream lives while making a meaningful impact in the world.
