In this episode of Built Leadership, host James Onyks interviews Andrea Battiola, Founder and CEO of Peak Couples & Sex Therapy, a multi-state virtual psychotherapy practice specializing in couples and sex therapy across Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington State.

Andrea shares the real story behind building a highly sensitive, regulated healthcare business from the ground up—starting as a solo practitioner and evolving into a CEO managing a growing clinical team and structured organization.

She unpacks the operational and emotional realities of scaling a therapy practice, including the shift from working independently to leading employees, and the responsibility that comes with managing both client care and team livelihood.
