Selling the Couch

I’m excited to share with you my conversation with Amy Van Slambrook, who is a clinician in Florida and a member of the STC community. We are talking about how she’s accomplishing good in the world that is much bigger than private practice. She shares her journey, some lessons learned, the intention behind her website design, and how she narrowed down the niches she wanted to reach. Amy tells us about the supplemental service of email sessions that she offers her clients, along with the pros and cons of providing an unconventional counseling service. Our conversation also includes the wide range of counseling, coaching, and consulting services that are part of private practice, and how to separate those services. Join us!

The topic for today’s show is one I have thought a lot about. It’s about having a bigger vision for your practice and building a business that isn’t just for income, but for doing MORE in the world. We sometimes refer to this idea as “social entrepreneurship,” which is about using your business profits to do more social good in the world. If you know me, then you know that I am on board with this concept!

My guest is Amaan Nathoo, from bonjoro.com, and we’re discussing “purpose over passion,” and why following your passion may NOT be the best advice. We’ll discuss what “purpose” is and talk about practical tips for prioritizing your purpose over your passion. Join us!

Today’s episode is a bittersweet one since it’s the final one of 2017. I always take a break from the podcast from Thanksgiving through the end of December, to focus on self-care and give myself some rest. Usually, these final episodes are different in some way; as an example, listen to Episode 100 if you haven’t already. Today’s show, however, is a reflective one, as I share some of what I’ve learned about private practice building. Join me!

Today’s guest is Debra Roberts, LCSW, who is in private practice specializing in relationship therapy. Our topic today is one that many clinicians have probably pondered at one time or another. We’re discussing how to take our clinical expertise and turn it into some kind of digital product that extends far beyond the therapy room. Over 20+ years in private practice, Debra realized that she was having success with her clients and finally mustered the courage to write a book that has since branched into a course, training, webinars and more. Debra shares her journey, what she’s learned about her strengths, and some practical aspects to consider about creating a webinar. Join us!
