Episode Details

As a therapist, you’re a helper and healer by nature, but do you see yourself as a leader in your clinical work or in your solo or group practice?

In this episode, Linzy is joined by Steph Davis and Cecilia Mannella for a conversation about leadership in therapy.

Together, they discuss what leadership looks like at the clinical level, as a business owner, and as the boss who is leading a team, and they explore why therapists often struggle to utilize their leadership skills and own their role as a leader.

Steph and Cecilia dive into their experiences with leadership in therapy and group practice, sharing their insights and what lights them up about the work they’re doing.

They also give a sneak peek into their upcoming virtual summit for therapy practice owners who are serious about the business and leadership of their practice. You can learn more about the Together in Practice Summit and register here.

Whether you’re running a solo practice or group practice, or working in a group practice or even in a hospital, this episode will encourage you to think about how you’re showing up as a leader in this space, how it feels for you, and how you can step into and own your leadership role as a clinician or a business owner.
