EP 213: 7-Figure Series: How Dr. Leah Clionsky Built a 7-Figure Group Practice

Building a seven-figure group practice does not have to mean burnout, chaos, or abandoning your clinical values.

In this episode, I'm officially kicking off the Seven Figure Therapist Series with someone I immediately thought of when therapists kept asking me if this level of growth was even possible. Dr. Leah Clionsky joins me to pull back the curtain on how she built a thriving, private pay group practice rooted in evidence-based care, premium pricing, and sustainability. Leah never set out to chase a revenue milestone, yet by building a practice she was deeply proud of and relentlessly focused on profit, she crossed seven figures and continues to scale year after year.

We talk candidly about what actually makes a group practice financially viable and emotionally sustainable. Leah shares how she structures her team, why she hires experienced clinicians, how she protects her time as an owner, and what her involvement in the practice looks like now. We also dive into the numbers most therapists avoid, the mindset shift required to invest instead of hoard, and why quality and profitability are not at odds with one another. This conversation is equal parts grounding and expansive for anyone who wants to grow without resentment or exhaustion.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

• 4:12 - Why profit matters more than revenue when scaling a practice

• 8:37 - The values that make premium pricing feel aligned instead of stressful

• 13:05 - How Leah structured her team to support growth without micromanaging

• 17:22 - What a realistic weekly schedule looks like at seven figures

• 21:48 - The financial rhythm Leah reviews every single week

• 25:31 - How clinical excellence quietly becomes your best marketing strategy

• 28:56 - The investment mindset that keeps practices from getting stuck

If this episode expands what feels possible for you, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss the rest of the Seven Figure Therapist Series. Each conversation will highlight a different path to growth and a different way to define success. And if this resonated, share it with a colleague or leave a review so more therapists can hear what's possible when you build with intention.
