Lynn Grodzki

Lynn Grodzki, LCSW, MCC is one of the leading business coaches in the US for small business owners. She specializes in working with change-agents: therapists, coaches, healers, and other service-oriented consultants who help others make change in their lives.

Through her workshops and writing, she has become a pioneer in the field of practice-building, helping non-business-oriented professionals develop their private practices. With Lynn’s guidance, thousands of professionals now operate small businesses that offer them a high degree of integrity as well as enhanced financial success.

Earlier in her career, Lynn worked as an executive in the family business.  She left to get a Masters in Social Work in 1988 from the University of Maryland and became a psychotherapist in private practice.  Lynn still maintains a psychotherapy private practice, specializing in working with the “worried well” — adults who are successful in some areas of life and need help in others. She also helps those who need counseling for cancer recovery.

In 1996, Lynn combined her earlier interest in entrepreneurship with her love of psychotherapy and became a business coach for therapists and healing professionals. She began teaching her Private Practice Success Program (TM) and in 2000, published her best-selling book: Building Your Ideal Private Practice (WW Norton.) Lynn formalized her coach training to help her work with professionals and is now a Master Certified Coach and a faculty member for CoachU, a large coach training organization.

Lynn is a prolific writer. She is the author of five books about practice-building for therapists,  coaches, and consultants, all published by W.W. Norton. Her articles on practice-building appear in national magazines. She presents workshops internationally and writes a monthly email newsletter that is read by over 7000 subscribers.

Lynn is also a breast cancer survivor who volunteers her time as the founder and co-designer of www.healingwithbasketball.com, an exercise clinic for breast cancer survivors now sponsored by George Washington University Cancer Institute, Office of Survivorship. To run this program she became a certified personal trainer.

Lynn lives with her husband, Tad, an architect, in Silver Spring, Maryland and can be reached by email at: lynn@privatepracticesuccess.com or 301 434 0766.
