So many therapists are feeling the squeeze right now. Between the unstable economy, rising costs, and layoffs in mental health spaces, it's a LOT. That's exactly why I wanted to record this episode!

You just need a system to catch them (and implement them).

In today's episode, I'm talking about how to get more therapy intro calls on your calendar.

Getting started on Instagram as a therapist can feel SO uncomfortable, but this also shouldn't hold you back from getting started on Instagram.

Once you make that first post and learn to do it consistently, it really does get easier (and not so scary)!

In today's episode, I'm sharing how I'm posting content during maternity leave. As an Instagram therapist, content is a HUGE part of my business.

It's totally possible to enjoy your time away!

Maternity leave prep isn't just about buying baby clothes and packing a hospital bag. It's about making sure my business can run without me for three full months!

Starting, scaling, and breaking through plateaus in your private practice isn't always a straight line, but it's TOTALLY possible! In today's episode, I'm talking about starting, scaling, & breaking through plateaus in your private practice. Growth comes from shifting things up, NOT staying the same. Hitting a plateau isn't failure; it's proof that you're ready for your next level.

So many therapists are undercharging and overworking. I see this happen WAY too often with the individuals in our field. But it's not because you're "bad with money" or "not cut out for private practice." It's the MYTHS you've been told that are keeping you stuck! In today's episode, I'm diving into the myths that keep you undercharging and overworking as a therapist.

In today's episode, I'm sharing how to audit your therapy Instagram to get more followers & clients. If you've been posting on Instagram, but not seeing the followers (or clients) you want, it might be time for an audit. Nope, I'm not talking about the "scary" IRS kind either! We're talking the fun, action-packed kind that actually gets you results.

If you've ever frozen up mid-session thinking "how do I say this?!" today's episode is for you! Maybe you need to raise your rates, end therapy with a long-term client, or even turn someone away who just isn't the "right" fit. Either way, these convos can be TOUGH! In today's episode, I'm sharing scripts for the hard conversations as a therapist in private practice.

Let's be real - posting on Instagram consistently is a LOT. As a therapist, you're already seeing a full caseload. Then you remember it's been five days since your last post. Here's the thing: I want you to know how marketing actually works for therapists. In today's episode, I'm diving into why social media feels so overwhelming right now.

The 200-view jail is REAL. You finally post that Instagram reel, and it gets 243 views. Again. But here's the truth: getting low views doesn't automatically mean your content is bad. But if your goal is growth and client conversion, there are some key things that might be holding you back. In this episode, I'm sharing why your reels aren't working and how to fix them.
