Future-proofing your group practice starts with a clear vision, strong community connections, and sustainable leadership. In this episode of Your Group Practice, Dan King talks with Dr. Elizabeth Carr, founder of Kentland Psychotherapy, about how she has built and maintained her practice over 20 years while planning for its future.
Kentland Psychotherapy has grown from a solo practice to a vibrant team of over 20 mental health professionals, including therapists, psychologists, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and psychiatrists. Dr. Carr explains how her unique location in a walkable urban community near Washington, D.C., influences the therapeutic experience, enabling walking therapy, easy client access, and a strong sense of community.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
- How innovative therapy spaces can enhance client experience and foster better clinician collaboration
- Why succession planning is vital for every group practice owner—even if you never intend to sell
- The influence of environment in shaping therapy outcomes, from outdoor walking sessions to community involvement
- Practical strategies for balancing leadership duties with clinician well-being and personal life
Dr. Carr also reflects on her innovative design process, her passion for integrating therapy into community life, and the importance of preparing her practice for long-term sustainability. From creative treatment spaces to thoughtful succession planning, her story offers inspiration and guidance for practice owners aiming to build something lasting.
