Episode 154: The Power of Group Therapy in Private Practice [featuring Brittany Bate]

Group therapy services are a great option for therapists who want to diversify their practice and enhance client connection.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Brittany Bate, owner of Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting, about the ins and outs of running successful therapy groups. Brittany shares her extensive experience and offers insightful tips for therapists who want to incorporate group therapy into their practice.

3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Consistency in Marketing is Crucial: Don't shy away from posting multiple times across various platforms and track your marketing efforts. Remember, people need to see something multiple times before they take action.
  2. Know Your Audience and Needs: Focus on timely group topics that meet current demands, and you can analyze your client caseload and community discussions for ideas.
  3. Benefits for Clinicians and Clients: Group therapy offers more accessible options for clients and diversifies clinician workload to break the monotony of 1-on-1 sessions. Remember to establish clear structures for therapeutic and financial efficacy.

Brittany’s insights are great for anyone looking to expand their practice offerings and bring clients together in meaningful ways.

About the Podcast

All Things Private Practice Podcast
Honest conversations about building a business while Autistic, ADHD, or both — the self-doubt, the chaos, and everything in between.
A podcast for neurodivergent entrepreneurs and mental health professionals who want to build a business, life, and body of work that actually fits how their brain operates. Through honest interviews and real conversations, Patrick Casale explores entrepreneurship, identity, burnout, overcoming self doubt, creativity, visibility, and sustainable success with neurodivergent business owners, creators, and leaders.
Host Patrick Casale is an AuDHD, a licensed therapist, and an entrepreneur who has built multiple businesses by doing it through imperfect action — which didn't always look pretty, and wasn't always comfortable. These conversations don't sanitize that. They go into the self-doubt, the burnout, the late diagnoses, the moments of "what the hell am I doing," and the stubborn refusal to quit anyway. Guests are therapists, coaches, consultants, and business owners who are Autistic, ADHD, or both — people who've figured out that the conventional path was never going to work for them and built something better in its place.
