“Katie May’s Group Guru program gave me the roadmap to incorporating groups into my practice. If you are interested in adding groups to yours
but aren’t sure how to start, this is the perfect place to learn!”
~Jennifer Perry, www.heartfulnessconsulting.com
You'd like to "work smarter, not harder,"
ditch your side jobs, and rock your private practice.
You're just not sure how.
You’ve got the degree, the experience and the office. You’ve put your heart, soul, and energy into your business (not to mention time and money), but it’s just not growing the way you’d hoped. You’re fully committed, but you feel tired, isolated, and unsure how to proceed.
Join me so that I can show you HOW to market and fill your group with ease, plus give you the exact scripts, templates and tools to give you a super easy copy and paste road map to full group success.
"Most of the time when people say they have done all the marketing and thought of everything - it isn't true. However, with the Become a Group Guru course Katie more than holds up her end of the bargain!! Right from the start, you're equipped with actionable content, weekly assignments and accountability for meeting your goals! Katie is literally available for any questions and this course is well worth the money! In the first module we were challenged to step outside of our comfort zone and passionately discuss our group via video. I was nervous, but I followed through and posted it in my business Facebook page. Within ONE day, I had 31 shares + 970 views to the video marketing my group!!! You will not regret signing up for this course! Katie is truly a genuine pleasure to work with! Happy Group Building!"

I'm a therapist just like you. I know that you're...
TOO BUSY: You've been working endless and tiring hours in agency work, raising a family, trying to keep the house clean and maybe sit down to savor a real meal (that's not an energy bar scarfed down in the mere minutes between sessions)
WORRIED ABOUT MONEY: You're in debt, struggling to repay your student loans, running yourself ragged just trying to make ends meet, but you're too damn scared to leave the stability of a steady paycheck and company-funded health insurance
LACKING SUPPORT: You're surrounded by people who are telling you that private practice is too hard and that you have to take insurance in order to get clients through the door. You're caught up in the limiting beliefs of others and it's making you even more scared AND it's crushing your dreams.
FEARING FAILURE: You're scared to fully take the leap and go all-in in your practice because it means being fully responsible for attracting and helping new clients (and the possibility that neither will happen for you)
MARKETING PHOBIC: When it comes to getting visible and promoting yourself, you're worried about looking pushy or salesy or turning people off. Putting yourself out there is scary!
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
"I loved office hours, and having the ability to throw out a ton of questions and get personal feedback and support. I gained confidence in building groups, marketing them, and building a "business model" around them. The biggest benefit was the knowledge of marketing strategies I received, as well as confidence in myself to go out there and be proud of what I offer! I would recommend Become a Group Guru to others and loved Katie's feedback, support and enthusiasm."
~Anya Surnitsky, www.couragecompasstherapy.com
Get ready to change the course of your private practice FOREVER...
"As a visual person, it is super helpful to be able to see what the end product can look like and all the templates were the most useful part! I enjoyed being able to get instant feedback from other group guru members and share resources accordingly. I also loved the videos as hearing things out loud helps me with what verbally these ideas sound like. I appreciated a clearer vision of what and how I wanted to target my ideal client, my niche and my specialty groups. I found the information to be invaluable. I felt the excitement and the passion resonating through the course and the open question forum was absolutely beneficial. It is fun to see how other people process the information learned and how they apply it in their individual ways. I absolutely benefitted from Become a Group Guru. I needed the guidance to carry out my vision. The activities helped me refine the idea and direction I wanted to take in my private practice. It was great to be able to bounce ideas off of other professionals, have the step-by-step guides and the workbooks that accompanied the modules was an added bonus!"

Wouldn't you LOVE to have full and thriving groups that allow you...
+ To make a bigger impact so that your clients experience real healing and so that you can maximize results (and bring in even more clients. GOOD results = rave reviews and more referrals)
+ To help more people with your groups and spend less time in the office while still raising your hourly rate
+ To be the GO-TO expert in your community (and one that’s well respected by your professional peers who will definitely refer to you)
+ To make more money with less time in the office so that you can get massages, go on vacations and buy that new pair of Toms for the winter
+ To market in a way that’s fun and that doesn’t take up all your time so that you can actually enjoy the business side of your business instead of feeling pushy and slimy about your marketing efforts
I'm Katie, the original Group Guru...I'm sitting atop a mountain in lotus position, whispering the secret.
Are you listening?
Your Instructor
I’m Katie K. May, and I get it.
I was overworked, underpaid, and struggling for answers. And then I cracked the code on growing groups, and couldn’t wait to share my secrets with you. As mental health professionals there is absolutely no reason that we can’t bask in our zone of genius and work with the clients who crave our support.
I bring in over $8000 per month with my groups. And that's from six hours a week.
I’ll give you a moment to do the math, but it's probably way better than the hourly rate that you’re currently making. I want you to succeed!
I’m giving you behind-the-scenes access to everything you need to get a group off the ground, growing like crazy, and taking the pressure off you and your practice.
This is a lot more than a course.
It's a full-on marketing machine, complete with video trainings, practical action steps, and a 360 degree support system designed to take you from solo practitioner to group guru with ease.
I loved the Facebook group and the weekly videos. Use of videos with the workbook was perfect! I learned how to become more organized in my marketing process for groups. I have the information I need to pursue marketing a group."
~Mallory Grimste, www.mallorygrimste.com
THE FULL COURSE SCHEDULE:
24 weeks of hand-holding support from me as we map out everything you need to create a full and profitable group in your practice.
No fluff. No false promises. Just pure step-by-step strategy and action steps with the accountability and support you need to GET IT DONE!
"The weekly presentations and office hours answering questions on Facebook was so helpful. I learned how to advertise fully for groups and create a most effective flyer. I definitely benefitted from the program and would recommend it to others."

"As a result of Become a Group Guru, I learned how to market groups and specifically contact others in the community to let them know about the groups I have to offer. The biggest outcome for me was gaining the courage to start my group even with only 2 members and the language to use when marketing my groups. Did I benefit? Yes! I was able to tighten up my follow up emails sequences which I think is great and gained a lot of ideas about how to market my groups that I hadn't thought of. "
~Alicia Taverner, www.ranchocounseling.com
It's like having your own personal business coach, cheerleader and accountability buddy all rolled into one!
"The templates and examples for contacting other providers, clients, and for writing copy and flyers were helpful. I was able to connect with several other providers in the area. Previously, everyone had ignored me :-) I benefitted in terms of my practice growing overall. When I started the BaGG course, I had three clients. I went up to 12."
~Sally Nazari, www.drsallynazari.com
This isn't another practice-building bootcamp that will overwhelm you with information that you can't complete while also seeing clients, then leave you high and dry after 8 weeks as you try and put it all together on your own.
It's also not a self-paced e-course that tells you what to do without showing you how to implement the steps to actually make it work for your practice.
This is your business course and practice coach one-stop shop for filling your group!
