It is not Google's job to ensure private practice of shrinks is sustainable. Large scale small margin offerings clearly better serve the patients and if Google does not help them they will be in a better position to seek other alternatives like national TV. I do not think small shrinks can even enter those spaces today.

One possibility I see is for many shrinks to come together form a co-operative and compete with vc backed alternatives.

This isn’t clear to me at all. I actually associate low-margin business with worse outcomes for traditionally high-touch services.
