Lead with Trust, Not Urgency

You're a therapist turned group practice owner; you wanted to serve people, not put out fires. Work that once drove you now feels depleting, and your role in guiding your team seems never-ending, causing you to sacrifice parts of yourself.

Your operational systems are in place, but the relational challenges, which impact employee engagement, morale, and your own well-being, feel harder to solve. You’re carrying the weight of your practice’s culture, and it’s lonely and exhausting (even if you have a leadership team).

Traditional Leadership Advice Isn’t Enough

Most leadership solutions focus on operations, compliance, and efficiency—important elements of running a business—but they neglect the human side of leadership.

In your group practice, tensions will arise. Not because something is wrong but because your team is made up of thoughtful, passionate humans with different perspectives. Without a clear approach to relational dynamics, you’re left feeling stuck and torn between keeping employees happy and holding them accountable. 

Work culture isn’t shaped by policies alone; it’s built through the way you and your team engage, navigate challenges, and repair your relationships when there are ruptures or disagreements.

You may have solid operational systems, but without relational agreements, those systems won’t create a culture where people feel valued, engaged, and willing to stay.

The Missing Piece: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Leadership

Trust isn’t a static agreement; it’s an evolving, relational process that shapes your entire work culture. Our philosophy to trauma-informed leadership begins with honoring your own humanity so you can honor the humanity of your team. Leadership isn’t about perfection; it’s about the ability to repair ruptures and remain in relationship with one another.

The quality of your relationships - with your team and among your team - determines the level of psychological safety in your group practice. When TRUST is centered, teams perform better, engage more fully, and clinical outcomes improve. 

You don't have to carry your work culture alone. When responsibility for work culture is collectively shared, teams move beyond hierarchy into a co-creative, values-driven dynamic.
