Running a therapy practice is deeply rewarding, but it can also leave you feeling stretched too thin. Between managing client care, supporting your team, and handling the business side of things, it’s easy to feel like work has taken over your life. 

Growing a therapy business is both rewarding and demanding. As therapy practice owners, we have to balance client care, administrative tasks, and strategic growth—all of which can lead to overwhelming stress if not managed effectively.

April is Stress Awareness Month, a time dedicated to understanding and managing stress—something your therapists are accustomed to helping clients with daily. But while they’re guiding others through life’s challenges, therapists often experience high levels of stress themselves. From managing heavy caseloads to navigating administrative burdens, the pressures of the job can lead to burnout and reduced job satisfaction.
