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.

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.

We all face loss. When a child dies, however, it is a particularly brutal, life-altering loss. As caring bystanders and mental health professionals, we may not know how to respond, help, or approach those who are grieving. We're worried we'll say the wrong thing and upset the grieving person, and therefore might end up doing nothing at all. Today we are joined by Anita Swartley, grief coach and Founder of Mosaic Restorative Coaching and Kristin Kane Ford, Founder of the Kellan Ford Foundation. Both have lost children to illness and both are on a mission to help others navigate grief. These two women share their inspirational, messy, heart-wrenching, yet hopeful stories. They discuss myths and misconceptions of grief as well as the grief process and the less talked about symptoms of the grief experience. Finally, they talk us through the practical experience of parenting their other children after the loss of a child and offer practical advice on the best ways to walk alongside those who are grieving.

In this episode, we take an in depth look at cults. Cults have made headlines around the world for many years and continue to fascinate us through documentaries and popular podcasts. Most recently, the organization known as NXIVM gained attention for its famous members, including Allison Mack from the show Smallville. NXIVM, led by Keith Ranieri, lured members by asserting themselves as a professional development program; then, subsequently blackmailed and branded its members, and in some cases, used members as sex slaves. As therapists, we need to be aware of the red flags behind these cults, so that we can better support clients who are being manipulated into organizations that may potentially turn abusive. We will discuss how to help clients that are stuck in a cult, find their way out, and how to support families whose loved ones are trapped in. Joining us today, we have the author of CULTS Inside OUT, Rick Alan Ross.

Many therapists own and run their own business, yet mental health graduate programs rarely provide formal business training. Most of our graduate programs are focused on the requirements for licensure and the skills needed to be a therapist, leaving little time for learning business management skills. For many of us, taking on the role of business owner, and female business owner, is an entirely new experience. Our guest today, Stacy Mayer talks with us about the socially assigned roles women are given and how they impact us as professionals and business owners; she also discusses how to lean into these roles and work with them for the sake of our businesses. Finally, Stacy shares the concept of “and”: being authentically yourself and a powerful woman in business.

Most of us received little to no training in school on the role the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) plays in private practice or our work in general, yet it is important for all clinicians to understand. We all want to respect and support our clients' needs in session and in our offices. We understand the need for wheelchair access and larger font sizes, but, when it comes to serving the deaf community, many of us are unprepared. Therapists often assume that if they don't know sign language, they can't serve the deaf community. But this couldn’t be farther from the truth. In this episode, Benito Perales, LCSW joins us, and we learn what the ADA is and how to be compliant. Benito also discusses cultural considerations for working with a member of the deaf community, how to obtain an interpreter, and maintaining confidentiality.
