Building a High-Quality Private Pay Group Practice with Gordon Gooding

Alicia Murray talks with Gordon Gooding, LCSW, founder of Gooding Wellness Group in Cold Spring Harbor, about how an “accidental” group practice grew slowly into a 20-therapist team. Gordon explains why he prioritizes clinician experience, strong fit, and a high-touch client experience over rapid expansion, and why those choices have shaped retention, referrals, and reputation. They discuss how private pay affects hiring, compensation, and marketing, along with the importance of staying teachable as technology and client expectations evolve. Gordon shares advice for building a practice with integrity, consistency, and a clear clinical standard.
