Episode 76: Social Media Simplified for Therapists in Private Practice [featuring Kelly Mckenna]
The idea of posting on social media can sometimes feel uncomfortable for therapists in private practice who are trying to market their businesses, but it is no doubt an effective way to network, establish yourself and create know, like, and trust in the mental health community, and connect with new clients... if done well.
But how do you know what works and doesn't when it comes to managing social media for therapists in private practice?
And how can you make the process of posting and growing a following not feel like a stressful, time-consuming chore that leaves you riddled with impostor syndrome and battling perfectionism in a very public, online space?
If you have been thinking about using social media to grow your business and leave an impact on the mental health community but feel stuck or intimidated, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk with Kelly Mckenna, a therapist, and social media and business coach for therapists.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Learn how to use social media to grow your private practice without getting overwhelmed with perfection paralysis.
- Understand the benefit of reaching therapists through social media and how that can lead to clients.
- Identify the exact content that types and structures that are most effective to grow a following on social media and how to simplify the creation process.
If you learn to use social media effectively, it can be one of the most powerful marketing tools around to network and grow your clientele for your private practice. Take this opportunity to hear more about Kelly's experience and decide for yourself.
