Badass Therapists Building Practices That Thrive

45 Breaking Barriers in Minority Mental Health Services: A Chat with Ana Marcella Rodriguez


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered about the unique challenges involved in setting up a mental health practice that serves a minority community? We certainly did, and that's why I brought Ana Marcella Rodriguez on our show. Ana Rodriguez is the proud owner of Therapy Works Counseling, a practice that serves around 2,000 families a year, primarily within the Hispanic community.

Our conversation with Ana covers a broad spectrum, including her journey moving to Mexico to become a successful practice owner in the US. She shares her fears, challenges, and the importance of marketing in Spanish to her target demographic. But it's not just business talk. Ana also shares her extensive knowledge on balancing cultural values, norms, and creating healthy boundaries for clients. The depth of understanding and respect for cultural differences in her practice and work with diverse teams of therapists is truly inspiring.

Towards the end, we turn our attention to the opportunities for practice growth and income diversification. We chat about the 'Step it Up' membership, Supervisor Training, Badass Basics, and Mastermind Groups. These are enlightening conversations that underscore the importance of cultural considerations in mental health practice. So, if you're a mental health provider looking to make an impact in your community, this episode is for you. Tune in, learn, and grow with us.

Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.
