Description

Purpose & Profit: The Sustainable Therapy Practice Podcast is for therapists who've built something real and are ready to lead it sustainably. Hosted by Cecilia Mannella, RCC, RSW — mental health practitioner, seven-figure group practice owner, and creator of the Sustainable Practice Framework™ — this podcast explores what it actually takes to build a profitable, sustainable therapy business without shrinking your leadership or losing yourself in the process. Each week, honest conversations about: - Ethical wealth and profit margins you can actually see and understand - Sustainable scaling and leadership evolution - The clinician-to-CEO identity shift — and what it costs to skip it - Team leadership, delegation, and building a practice that runs without you as the single point of failure - Building a practice that serves your clients — and your life Because burnout is not a business model. And purpose without profit isn't sustainable. If you're a therapy practice owner who's tired of being the most advanced person in the room, this is where that changes.
