FAQs for Mental Health Practice Growth
“Michael, do you only work with group practices, or is this a fit for solo or smaller practices too?”
My services fit practices at any stage, not just larger group practices. Some of my most rewarding recent coaching work has actually been with solo practitioners working through practice direction and growth decisions. What matters more than practice size is where you are and what you aspire to, so if you’re weighing your next move, you’re likely a fit for what I offer.
“My mental health practice has hit a plateau. How do I reestablish growth, Michael?”
Growth plateaus are one of the most common issues I see in mental health practices. The fix usually isn’t working harder; it’s fixing the underlying business model. I help owners build a growth strategy around referral sources, service mix, and staffing to increase revenue.
“Should I open a second location, and how do I know if I’m ready?”
Opening a second office is a big decision, and the biggest mistakes I see involve timing and location choice. Part of getting this right is assessing the opportunity properly, including reviewing population data for prospective areas to see whether there is enough need and whether it aligns with the population your practice is built to serve. I help owners work through their numbers, lease options, and this kind of market analysis to figure out whether expansion makes sense right now, and where.
“Insurance reimbursement rates are squeezing my practice. What are my options, Michael?”
This comes up a lot, and the answer usually starts with a closer look at your numbers, not any single fix. I help owners review their payor mix, including how much self-pay business could realistically offset lower reimbursement rates, and compare labor costs against what each payor actually reimburses. A payor contract analysis with rate benchmarking adds to that picture, giving you a realistic sense of how each payor relationship is actually working for your practice, so any strategic decisions are grounded in a well-developed framework.
Your Top 4 Core Growth Focus Areas

“There’s no plug-and-play solution for leadership. I work alongside you to build the team and structure that fits your vision. And the reassuring thing to know is that these business ideas and practices are not rocket science – they’re not conceptually difficult – it’s just that most of us in the mental health field have never had training in them.” – Dr. Michael Schneider
