Colleen Long: Welcome to Off the Chair, where visionary therapists talk business burnout and building something better
Jennifer Politis: because to lead, to earn more. Reclaim your creativity and truly change the mental health system. We have to get off the chair and into the role of visionary CEO and change maker.
Colleen Long: I'm Dr. Colleen Long psychologist, entrepreneur, and founder of a seven figure practice I built.
Colleen Long: Broke, rebuilt, and exited. I'm here to ask the hard questions. How do we adapt? How do we survive, and how do we fight back against a system outsourcing mental health to the lowest bidder?
Erika Bugaj: I'm Erica Bugaj, clinical social worker, psychotherapist, group practice founder and doctoral student. I work with therapists who want to build brave values led businesses without burning out, because real growth doesn't just happen in the chair.
Erika Bugaj: It happens when you step out of it.
Jennifer Politis: And I'm Dr. Jennifer Politis, psychologist, entrepreneur, multi-site group owner of a seven figure practice and business coach, obsessed with making strategy simple, sustainable. 0% Bs. I help therapists lead like CEOs and build businesses that work for them, not the other way around.

I really see our podcast as for two types of people, and I, and you guys chime in here, if you agree or disagree. So I, I see the podcast as being for people that, uh. Are either wanting to own a group practice and are kind of wanting to see like, is this a good idea for me? Or people who you know, already own a group practice and want to better scale, learn how to grow, implement systems, that type of thing.
