The Ideal Practice Collective: A Yearlong Book Club & Support Group - August Meeting

Turn uncertainty into momentum — one month at a time.

Building a successful private practice takes more than clinical skill. Many therapists find themselves:

• Struggling to launch and unsure where to start.
• Working to build and maintain strong referral sources.
• Avoiding or fearing the business side—marketing, planning, or finances—that feels overwhelming.

You’re not alone.

Join MetroMFT for a yearlong journey through Lynn Grodski’s Building Your Ideal Private Practice and the accompanying Twelve Months to Your Ideal Private Practice Workbook. Expect monthly discussions, accountability, and peer support—designed to help you build a thriving, sustainable practice with confidence.

Build community. Build confidence. Build your ideal practice.

Focus for August's Meeting

Profit: Making Peace with Making Money

"Show me the money! This month, take steps to ensure that you have a highly profitable practice. Examine your thoughts and feelings about money and profit, check your profit picture against a reliable formula, evaluate your current fee structure, see how to raise fees successfully, and build a business not just to own, but to sell."

To best prepare for this month's meeting we suggest you:

✅ Complete Your Monthly Prep Form

✅ Workbook: Profit: Making Peace with Making Money

✅ Book: Why Good Therapists Go Broke
