PRACTICE, SUPERVISION & PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

Group Practice vs Solo Practice: Clinical Implications 2 CEUs

Overview:

Choosing between group practice and solo practice is a significant decision that impacts not only a clinician’s business model, but also their clinical work, professional development, and overall sustainability. Each setting presents distinct advantages and challenges, including differences in autonomy, collaboration, financial structure, case complexity, and support systems. Without a clear understanding of these factors, clinicians may enter a practice model that does not align with their clinical style, career goals, or personal needs.

In this presentation, Dr. Zairys Feliz, Ph.D., LCSW, will guide participants in evaluating the clinical implications of working in group versus solo practice. Attendees will explore how each setting influences therapeutic approach, decision-making, case management, and professional growth. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how factors such as consultation access, isolation, caseload composition, and administrative responsibilities impact clinical effectiveness and clinician well-being.

Participants will learn practical, evidence-informed strategies to assess which practice model best supports their clinical strengths, professional goals, and long-term sustainability. This training will equip clinicians with the clarity needed to make informed decisions about their practice environment while maintaining high-quality care.

Objectives:

• Analyze the clinical and professional differences between group practice and solo practice settings.

• Identify how each practice model impacts case management, decision-making, and clinician support.

• Apply structured considerations to determine alignment between practice model, clinical style, and career goals.
