    How to Know if Your Marketing is Working with Neal Samudre | WP 193

    Are you investing in marketing for your therapy practice but wondering if it's actually working? In this episode of the Wise Practice Podcast, I'm joined again by Neal Samudre, founder of Sambright, to talk about what practice owners really need to know before they decide to start, stop, or change their marketing strategy. We talk about why marketing is not a quick fix, how long you should give SEO or Google Ads before making decisions, and why practice owners need to understand their data instead of making choices out of fear or frustration. Neal breaks down the key numbers to watch, how to establish a baseline, and why feedback between you and your marketing partner matters so much. We also talk about the cost of inaction. Because if people in your community cannot find your practice, they cannot get the help they need. In this episode, we cover: ➡️ How to know if your marketing is working ➡️ Why you need an experimental mindset with marketing ➡️ How long to stick with SEO or Google Ads ➡️ What feedback to give your marketing partner ➡️ Why practice owners need to track inquiries and conversions ➡️ The difference between marketing problems and intake problems ➡️ Why outsourcing SEO and Google Ads can be better than hiring in-house ➡️ The cost of doing nothing in your practice growth If you are a Christian practice owner who wants to grow wisely, make better marketing decisions, and understand what your data is actually telling you, this conversation is for you.

    The Truth About Cutting Costs and Growing Your Practice in 2026 with Julie Herres | WP 192

    Before you cut another expense in your practice, ask yourself this: what is it costing you *not* to have it? In this episode of the Wise Practice Podcast, I'm joined by Julie Herres, founder of GreenOak Accounting, to talk about making wise money decisions in your private practice. Y'all, this has been a challenging year for practice owners. So many of us are feeling the pressure around finances, growth, staffing, marketing, and knowing where to invest our money. It can be tempting to start cutting costs just to feel more in control, but not every expense is the problem. Julie and I talk about how to look at your numbers with more clarity, how to know whether an expense is actually helping your practice grow, and why cutting something that saves you time or brings in revenue can sometimes cost you more in the long run. We also get into the habits of successful practice owners, including tracking your data, reviewing your finances regularly, surrounding yourself with the right experts, and making sure your personal lifestyle does not put pressure on your business. If you've been feeling nervous about money, unsure what to cut, or wondering where to invest next in your practice, this conversation will give you some practical things to think through. In this episode, we cover: * Why practice owners are feeling more cautious about money right now * The difference between cutting costs and cutting growth * How to think about ROI beyond just dollars * Why tracking your numbers matters so much * What successful practice owners are doing differently * When it's time to get professional help * How to protect your practice from financial stress Julie and the GreenOak Accounting team will also be joining us at the Wise Practice Summit in Nashville, Tennessee, October 8–10. If you want to be in the room with other faith-based practice owners and experts who can help you grow with wisdom and clarity, I would love to see you there.

    What if building your practice alone isn't strength, but isolation? Y'all, practice ownership can feel lonely real quick. You're making decisions about money, hiring, marketing, systems, leadership, and growth while also trying to stay grounded in your values and your faith. In this episode, Amy Dover wraps up her Wise Practice Podcast takeover with a conversation for Christian practice owners who feel called to build something bigger but are tired of carrying it all by themselves. Amy shares the unique tension of running a faith-aligned business, why community matters so much for practice owners, and what changed in her own practice when she stopped making every decision from gut feeling and started leaning into support, strategy, and wise counsel.

    What I Would Do Differently If I Were Starting a Group Practice Today - Podcast Takeover with Amy Dover | WP 190

    What would you tell yourself if you could go back to the very beginning of your group practice? Y'all, that question will make you think. In this episode, Amy Dover is taking over the podcast again as part of her June series on group practice ownership. Amy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, owner of Dover Counseling Services in southeastern Alabama, and a Wise Practice consultant with over a decade of experience building and leading a group practice. Today, Amy is talking about what she would do differently if she were starting a group practice all over again. And her answer might surprise you. Before the systems, the compensation models, the hiring processes, or the spreadsheets, Amy says the first thing she would tell herself is this: find your people. Amy shares the honest lessons she has learned about money, scarcity mindset, hiring, leadership, people-pleasing, and stepping out of the therapist role and into the CEO role. She also talks about the spiritual side of practice ownership, including what it looks like to stop striving, trust God with the outcome, and build a practice that is sustainable instead of exhausting. If you are a Christian practice owner who feels like you are trying to figure it all out alone, this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.

    Is It Time To Hire Your First Therapist? What Nobody Tells You about the Leap From Solo to Group - Podcast Takeover with Amy Dover | WP 189

    Amy Dover is taking over the Wise Practice Podcast for this special June series, and today she's talking about one of the biggest milestones in private practice: hiring your first therapist. In this episode, Amy shares the story of hiring her first clinician, the mistakes she made early on, and what she wishes someone had told her before she stepped into the role of employer and leader. She talks honestly about the difference between simply adding another therapist and actually building the systems, expectations, contracts, culture, and leadership foundation your practice needs to grow well. If you're a solo practice owner wondering whether it's time to hire, this conversation will help you think through your referral pipeline, your readiness to lead, your values, your infrastructure, and the fear that can sometimes keep you stuck. Amy also shares about her upcoming mastermind, Built to Last: Growing from a Solo Practice to a Group, for Christian practice owners who are ready to make their first hire or grow beyond their first team member. Watch on YouTube 5:02 The story behind Amy's first hire 7:18 Why "get busy, hire" is not enough 8:21 The danger of hiring without systems or a roadmap 10:08 Hiring without a contract 12:37 Why your first therapist needs clear direction 13:28 How to know if you're not ready to hire 17:39 What readiness to hire actually looks like 19:39 When hiring becomes a faith question 22:37 Built to Last: Growing from Solo Practice to Group 24:08 Early bird discount and registration details Show Sponsor SamBright Today's sponsor is SamBright, and if you've ever paid for SEO or Google Ads and felt like you had nothing to show for it, stick with me for a second. Most marketing agencies sell you one channel. They measure success with impressions and click reports that don't tell you whether your phone actually rang. That's the problem, not you. SamBright runs SEO, Google Ads, and AI search together because that's how clients make decisions now. They even run email and SMS marketing for larger practices. One system covers multiple channels. And every Monday morning you get a plain-English update on how it's going. If your practice's caseloads should be fuller than they are, book a call at sambright.com/schedule.

    The Loneliness of Leading a Practice Nobody Around You Understands - Podcast Takeover with Amy Dover | WP 188

    Leading a practice can feel lonely in a way most people don't fully understand. In this special Amy Dover takeover episode, Amy kicks off a four-part series for the month of June by naming something a lot of practice owners feel but don't always say out loud: the loneliness of leadership. Whether you're a solo practice owner or leading a group, there are decisions you carry that your spouse, friends, team, or even other business owners may not be able to fully understand. You're holding clinical complexity, financial responsibility, ethical decisions, leadership pressure, and for Christian practice owners, faith and calling too. Y'all, that is a lot to carry. Amy shares honestly about a hard season in her own practice when Dover Counseling became a seven-figure practice, the culture began to shift, and she found herself sitting alone in her office trying to figure out what had gone wrong. She talks about the pain of leading through that season, the decision to move from 1099 to W2, and the relief that came when she finally found consulting and community with other practice owners who truly understood. This episode is for the practice owner who looks like she's holding it all together but feels alone behind the scenes. Watch on YouTube 4:07 Why practice owners need time with other practice owners 6:17 Amy Dover begins part one of the June takeover series 6:51 The loneliness of leading a practice 10:45 Amy's seven-figure practice milestone and culture shift 15:30 Moving from 1099 to W2 and the cost of change 16:55 The unique loneliness of Christian practice ownership 25:30 Built to Last: Growing From a Solo Practice to a Group Show Sponsor SamBright This episode is brought to you by SamBright, the growth solution for practices that want to get found. Here's what most practice owners don't realize: your patients aren't just Googling anymore. They're asking ChatGPT. They're clicking the first ad they see. They check your Google Maps listing in about ten seconds. If you're not showing up across those places, those calls go to someone else. Simple as that. SamBright runs SEO, Google Ads, and AI search optimization together as one system. For larger practices, they even run your email and SMS marketing.
