The Group Private Practice Experience — For All.

Ten years ago, I started Growing Self with one non-negotiable belief: therapists shouldn't have to sacrifice their wellbeing to do this work. Revolutionary, right? (Sadly, yes.) Burned out, traumatized, on-the-brink clinicians found shelter here: Wraparound support for their mental and emotional wellbeing, professional development, and financial prosperity.... in an environment that put them first.

Apparently, that's unusual.

I'm an experienced clinical supervisor, and here's the truth nobody says out loud: As soon as you get licensed, you're totally on your own. Holding hard things, carrying the weight of so much responsibility in ambiguous (sometimes scary) situations, expected to figure it all out, all while trying to start a business as a solo-preneur... with zero training or support for business success. Talk about anxiety!

No wonder therapists are burning out left and right. It's not sustainable.

The Growth Collective solves all these problems, and turns anxiety, overwhelm, and isolation into a sustainable, satisfying, successful private practice experience.

It starts with LOVE: Get plugged into a small consultation group of likeminded professionals that meets live every month, allowing you to build an authentic professional support system.

It fosters GROWTH + JOY: Monthly CEU trainings for the modern therapist, eager to stay excited about new developments in the field and passionate about developing a valuable specialized niche that prioritizes your wellbeing.

It emphasizes SECURITY + SUPPORT: Monthly consultation sessions with an experienced clinical supervisor to dig deep into tough cases, tricky ethics, and illuminate the self-of-therapist blind spots and growth opportunities that we all have.

It supports SUCCESS: What's your vision for your professional life? We can help you grow, and get where you want to go.

If the idea of marketing, sales, and business building makes you feel exhausted, I get it. (It's a full time job.) We can solve that problem for you too, by helping you build a valuable referral network, or even connecting you directly to Growing Self clients — eager to work with a therapist just like you.

If your dream is to move away from the medical model, pivot into more growth oriented work, and attract full-fee high functioning clients, we can support your success through coach credentialing for therapists.

If your dream is to do the fun part (show up and do enjoyable work with amazing clients) and have someone else manage the rest: marketing, financial operations, admin support, IT systems — while also maintaining your independence and income, optional private practice support services are available.

All the things the best-of-the-best group practices provide while allowing you to keep your independence, and your money.

This is your professional home. Where brilliant clinicians hold each other through the hard stuff. Where you build the practice you want AND get the support you need. Where someone is asking you how you're feeling, and what you're needing... and then delivering.

Where your well-being comes first, always.

Sustainable. Satisfying. Supported.

You've been doing this alone long enough.

Welcome. ❤️

“I was honestly burned out and questioning whether I even wanted to stay in this field. The Growth Collective helped me reconnect with why I started doing this work in the first place. Having a space that supports me as a human — not just a therapist — has been completely life-changing.”

Growing Self has allowed me to work in a solo private practice setting while still supporting my need for community and a strong network of other therapists. Having access to the other amazing and talented clinicians in this group, and the robust training programs, has been invaluable in my own growth.

The Growth Collective is Right For You If:

  • You're a licensed mental health professional who's been doing this alone for too long

  • You're exhausted by the isolation and desperately miss having colleagues who actually understand

  • You need real consultation—the kind where someone knows you well enough to help you see what you can't see on your own

  • You're struggling to build a sustainable private practice and tired of figuring everything out through expensive trial and error

  • You're ready to connect with your ideal clients, easily and effortlessly.
  • You're dangerously close to burnout and know something has to change before you break

  • You want the independence and income of a private practice, but hate the business part... not to mention the isolation.
  • You're finally ready to receive the same level of support you've been giving everyone else

  • You want to surround yourself with smart, positive, supportive therapists who are strong consultation partners equally devoted to growth, love, happiness, and success (personally and professionally).

 

If this feels like it was written for you, it was.

The Growth Collective is for you.

Lisa Marie Bobby, PhD, LP, LMFT, BCC — Founder of Growing Self

The Struggle is Real.

For years (seven, to be exact) I was a solo private practitioner, floating alone in the world. The robust support system of grad school and supervision long gone, I was on my own.

Crying after an intense session with nobody to talk to. Stifling the anxiety of imposter syndrome. Hours researching and thinking through tough cases on my own. Trying to get a private practice off the ground by trial and error (mostly error). It was hard.

Somehow, organically, therapists started arriving at Growing Self, wanting to work together. As the years passed, my one-woman band turned into a thriving group practice with dozens of therapists.

We were there for clients, but the well-being of therapists came first: For years, Growing Self has provided support groups, case consultation, private practice success coaching, clinical supervision, continuing ed, specialized trainings, coach credentialing, shared resources, client referrals, and a community of love.

With our industry becoming increasingly harrowing for therapists, I decided it was time to fling open the doors.

All therapists are now welcome to join in the Growing Self growth collective experience.

This is a space where you belong. It is devoted to your wellbeing. If you'd like to join me in this, let's connect.
