I recently had the honor of being interviewed by MarketVisory Group, a dedicated supporter of independent practices. They were particularly interested in the transformative journey of Clarity Counseling Seattle from a solo practice into a thriving group practice over the past 15 years. If you’re curious to hear more about our journey and the insights gained from transitioning to a group practice, you can listen to the full interview here. We discuss the challenges faced, the milestones achieved, and how Clarity Counseling Seattle has evolved to better serve our community.
Transitioning to a Group Practice
For nine years, Clarity Counseling Seattle operated with just one provider—myself. Making the decision to expand to a team of 9-10 providers was driven by our commitment to enhancing the quality of care we could offer in couples therapy in Seattle, men's therapy, sex therapy, and also the group therapy that we occasionally run. The benefits of transitioning to a group practice were numerous, and included:
- Broadened expertise through diverse therapist specializations
- Increased availability for appointments, offering more flexibility to clients
- Enhanced collaborative approach, allowing for comprehensive care
With each new therapist, Clarity has grown not just in size but in depth. Each member brings their unique skills and passion for helping individuals and couples navigate their relational and sexual health. The collective expertise of our group far surpasses what I could offer alone, truly embodying the spirit of quality counseling.
A Case Study: Enhanced Therapy Outcomes
One notable example of the effectiveness of our group practice approach involves a couple who came to us experiencing significant marital strife. Through a combination of individual sessions with different specialists and joint couples sessions, they not only resolved their immediate conflicts but also rediscovered joy in their relationship, among other improvements. This could also engaged in our group therapy for couples who are struggling with intimacy, which approached their challenges from yet another angle. We probably couldn't have helped that couple to get to where they needed without the comprehensive care that a focused group practice like ours can provide.
