62. Targeted Marketing for Therapists

In this episode, I provide an in depth discussion of how I target market via social media, including selecting platforms, hashtags, and the best times to post. I also share my unique way of target marketing in the community.

It may sound strange, but a hobby of mine is reading about business growth strategies. Ever since I started my practice, I scheduled time to learn about marketing, systems, organization, and business planning and growth. It has become a passion of mine, and while I am not a coach, and I don’t have a practice growth course to sell, I do love sharing what I know. As a former teacher, this is just part of who I am, and while I have been told not to give so much away for free, I truly enjoy learning from others, sharing what I’ve learned, and seeing therapists succeed. We deserve to make a good living too, and we can all success together. I’m happy to do my part and share what I've learned with you.

My goal for this series is to share from one to clinician to another, the strategies and skills that I have learned through running my practice, my continuing education business, coordinating workshops with hundreds of attendees, building a community, and owning a podcast. I hope you find it helpful, and I’m glad you’re here.

While you may think this episode is just for school counselors, it actually has something for everyone. We can all relate to the experience of leaving, or wanting to leave, a stressful job with unrealistic expectations that we have long since outgrown, and in this episode 5 therapists sit down together to discuss why they left, what they’re doing now, and how they did it. They share their recommendations for transitioning into private practice and have a very frank conversation about money and fees. This is a don’t miss episode for anyone considering making the jump to private practice, especially school counselors and community mental health workers. Join me and my guests, Amy Barton, LPC-S, Jan Osgood, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, Amanda Spencer, LICSW, and LeAnna Coulter, LPC-S, for a conversation about career change, life transitions, and finding your passion.
