Episode 64: Therapist Content Marketing & Tech Startup Consulting [featuring Michael Fulwiler]


Listen Later

Do you ever feel frustrated that you are available to take clients and tons of people are looking for therapists, but you hardly ever get the calls?

Have you made a Psyc Today profile, but after months of being “visible” online, nothing has really improved for your private practice?

Have you started to wonder if you should consider using those therapy tech startups, but question if they are ethical and if you can even make a livable income through them?

Well, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk with Michael Fulwiler, a marketing professional specializing in mental health spaces (including the Gottman Institute) and a consultant for mental health startups.

Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  1. Understand the best ways to approach content marketing for therapists.
  2. Learn what alternatives there are to using social media and how to find the right marketing outlets for you.
  3. Learn what therapists can do to ensure they don’t get taken advantage of by the sketchy tech startups (because not all are created equal), as well as how they can play a part in improving the quality of care for clients and therapists through consulting with those tech startups.


  4. So, if you are looking to find ways to connect with your ideal clients and get your caseload filled, this episode will give you the basics to get started. 

    Content marketing can feel intimidating sometimes, so it’s important to position yourself in the way that best aligns with your preferences and time. And if you love or hate something, there is still a way to make marketing work for you, so listen in to hear more about what paths you can take and find the best one for you.
