Lead with Confidence, Grow with Purpose
Insightful consulting, dynamic membership, and courses that lead to lasting impact for practice owners.
Hey there, I’m Dr. Tara Vossenkemper!
I’m a practice consultant with a knack for helping group practice owners turn chaos into clarity.
With years of experience running my own successful practice, I get what it takes to build a team that not only works well together but thrives.
My approach? It’s a splash of depth and humor, a pinch of practical advice, and a little razzle-dazzle dose of irreverence (#NotMeMakingMyselfChortle).
Whether you’re struggling with hiring, team dynamics, or just want to take your practice to the next level, I’m here to help you get there - one big ass (or small ass) step at a time."

Join a vibrant community of group practice owners who are as dedicated to growth as you are.

What’s the plan, Stan?
Great question!
Navigating the intricacies (read: complexities) of running a group practice can be overwhelming, to say the least, but it doesn’t have to be.
With the right guidance and a clear path forward, you can turn your practice into a thriving, dynamic environment where both your team and your clients flourish.
My goal is to make that journey as straightforward as possible. Here's how we’ll work together to bring your vision to life:
Schedule Your Discovery Call
Start by scheduling a free, no-pressure Discovery Call with me. We’ll spend some time discussing your practice’s current challenges and goals, and we’ll see if my consulting services are the right fit for you.Craft a Plan
Based on our conversation, I’ll create a plan that addresses your specific needs. Whether it’s improving team dynamics, enhancing practice culture, or planning for growth, you’ll receive clear, actionable steps to move forward at each consulting session.Take Action (and Transform Your Practice)
With the strategy in hand, we’ll work together to implement the changes. From ongoing consulting to joining the Practice Culture First Membership, you’ll have the support, tools, and insights needed to elevate your practice and achieve long-term success.
Ready to finally transform your practice? Me, too (for you)!!
I get it, I hear you, I know, and I relate - you’ve got questions (or even objections).
Lucky for you (or not, depending on who you are), I’ve got answers!

Omgggg, I get this. I hated spending money on consulting before I really understood (and integrated) that it's an investment rather than an expense. Sure, it's an expense, but the value from time is the tradeoff. If you spend 15 hours trying to figure out one question when you could get that info within an hour, that hits a little differently, doesn't it?
That said, you still might worry that the cost won’t pay off, especially if you're already dealing with tight budget. If that's the case, consider booking a Discovery Call to troubleshoot a) what your core issues are, and b) whether or not it does make sense for you to start consulting.
You don't know me (yet), but I'm not really interested in working with people just to make money from them. I want to work with people who are in a place where they can actually benefit from my expertise, if you will. If you're not at that place, I'll level with you.

Yup, I get this. Life is typically busy af and practices don’t run themselves.
Imma keep it really real with you, though. Investing now can save you headaches, time, and money later. Ideally, we would work together to fit this into your schedule, so you can start seeing the benefits without feeling like you’ve added another task to your plate.

Change can be anything from anxiety-provoking to downright terrifying. Sorta like jumping into a cold pool (or a frozen lake in Nova Scotia).
However, the real beauty of change is that the right kind can turn your practice into a well-oiled machine with high levels of trust, candor, and commitment from your people.
This is one of those things we can take slow. I know how disruptive change can be. There are some that can be implemented quickly, but others need to be planned and scheduled and methodical. In short, we can take it step by step, making sure the transitions are smooth and beneficial, not chaotic and disruptive.

Yep, I'm definitely skeptical about people telling me they can help me (which maybe says something about me, but now isn't the time and place to get into that [hahahahaha]). My point is this: skepticism is totally fair. Why wouldn't it be? You want to be sure you’re not just throwing money into a black hole or handing it over to a snake oil con artist (maybe that's extreme, but you get my gist).
My goal is this: to give you real, actionable strategies that actually work. The best part is that I want things to be tailored to you and your practice. The underlying assumptions about practice ownership might have overlap, but the way they express from practice to practice is very unique. I LOVE THAT. And I want to honor the way things express for people and do it from a foundational/grounded place. Further still, we’ll measure the results together and tweak things as needed. It’s not magic; it’s smart, strategic action. Or maybe it is magic, if you need a little pixie dust in your life. #SprinkleSprinkle

I mean, feeling unsure is pretty typical. If you've never done something before, how and why would you think you just 'could' do that thing well without any input, guidance, or experience doing it?
Enter the benefit of consulting - you’re not alone in this.
I’ll make sure to give you clear, actionable steps and be there to support you through the process. Think of it as having a guide who’s been there and done that, making sure you don’t trip over the same rocks. And if something isn't working? We pivot. There's more than one way to cook an egg, amIright?!

Whether or not you can figure it out on your own isn't the right question. I think a better question is this: how much time do you have to spend figuring out something you "should" be able to figure out on your own?
Of course you're capable. That's not the point here. Saying you 'should' do something is futile.
And, further still, tell me why the best athletes still have coaches? It's not about being able to figure things out on your own, it's having somebody else there for guidance. Sometimes a fresh perspective can spot the things we miss when we’re too close to the problem.

Oh, good lord - SAME. No way in hell do I a) want someobdy to take over my practice, and b) want to take over somebody else's!!
To clarify, though. Consulting isn't really letting somebody take over. It's having someone step into your systems and practice-world as your teammate. The one who's always passing you the ball to score (just think of an assist-only player with no ability to score any goals). I’m basically here to empower you and give you the tools to steer your practice in the right direction, not to grab the wheel. You stay in control; I’ll just help you make sense of the map for more effective navigation.
And that’s a wrap, folks!
I’ve said all I have to say (for now #TheresAlwaysMore). Make sure you squelch any doubts about consulting by setting up a free, non-pressured Discovery Call with me. That aside, may your practice thrive and your team feel valued!
