Virtual group practice leadership requires more than technology; it requires intentional culture, exceptional hiring, and a commitment to clinician growth.
In Episode 51 of Your Group Practice, Dan King sits down with Sara Makin, Founder and CEO of Makin Wellness, to discuss how she built a fully virtual mental health organization serving clients across multiple states while maintaining a strong culture and high clinical standards.
Sara shares her journey from launching a virtual-first practice before telehealth became mainstream to leading a growing team of clinicians who work entirely remotely. She explains why culture becomes even more important in virtual environments, how she evaluates value alignment during hiring, and why retaining great clinicians requires continuous investment in their professional development.
Throughout the conversation, Sara offers practical insights into building psychologically safe teams, creating scalable leadership structures, leveraging technology without sacrificing quality, and navigating the realities of clinician retention in today's workforce.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• How to build culture in a fully remote practice
• Why every hire must be a values-aligned ”yes”
• How technology can improve clinician experience and efficiency
• A healthier way to think about employee retention and turnover
• Why independent group practices remain essential to mental health care
If you're building a virtual practice, scaling a remote team, or looking for ways to strengthen clinician engagement, this episode provides practical lessons from a leader focused on both impact and sustainable growth.
