Hi there! I’m Maureen Werrbach Hermann, LCPC, and I’ve traversed the challenging but rewarding journey from launching a private practice to scaling it into a thriving group business. Like many in the
social service field, I graduated without a clue on how to run a business. Yet, through relentless research, trial, and error, I uncovered effective strategies and pitfalls of managing a counseling group practice.
My passion lies in demystifying this process for others. At The Group Practice Exchange, I aim to be the resource I once wished for-offering guidance that’s not only about the mechanics of starting and growing a practice but also about mastering the nuances of leadership within the health sector.
As a
founder and owner of Urban Wellness, a flourishing multi-location group practice in Chicago, I have firsthand experience in balancing the dual goals of making a significant social impact and running a successful business. I understand that many healthcare professionals prioritize direct service over
business management, and that’s precisely where I can help.
Through The Group Practice Exchange, I share my insights and learnings as a coach, educator, and trainer dedicated to social service professionals. Whether it’s hosting
The Group Practice Exchange Podcast, co-hosting the Group Practice Owners Summit, or working as a certified Fix This Next advisor, my ultimate mission is to equip group practice owners not just to succeed in business but to amplify their impact on the communities they serve.
Let’s make your practice a beacon of well-being and organizational excellence!
