The Therapist Mom Podcast: Where Private Practice and Motherhood Collide

On today’s show, I share some real talk about the burden we sometimes bear as therapists to support ourselves. Whether in our personal or professional lives, the task of asking for help can be something we avoid, which is completely counter to how we show up for others and support them in seeking therapy.

Personal therapy is something that helps us and our clients grow as humans and, though it can feel scary, it’s a beautiful way to embody the messaging of our profession. Join me as I explore the reasons therapists and many in the helping professions shy away from seeking the help they need and how we can overcome our own hesitations.

Today’s episode is short and sweet and meant to get you thinking about different categories of network marketing. I’ll talk specifically about how community stakeholders can be a powerful referral source IF you are engaged with the right people and organizations.

We wrap with an exercise to jumpstart your marketing efforts to community stakeholders: considering the people and organizations who are in your ideal clients’ orbit. Who do they interact with regularly? How can you develop a relationship in those orbits to better reach and serve potential clients for your private therapy practice.

Many social work graduate programs have a generalist focus and often, as we get into the work and start growing a practice, therapists can get tied to the idea that we need to serve everyone. Unfortunately this belief can really hinder practice growth and instead we should be serving a specific niche. On today’s episode, I break down why it’s important to hone in on your ideal client and narrow the focus of your work to them. Plus I offer some actionable steps to get your started determining your ideal client.

Have you ever considered outsourcing work in your therapy practice? It can feel really difficult to let go of doing certain work to operate our therapy practices. And yet, when we release certain aspects of the management of practice - whether that be marketing, insurance credentialing, website creation, etc - we can find more time, space, and even money to be in our practice and our personal lives. Join me today as I challenge the resistance many of us feel when handing over pieces of the work to someone else.

On today’s episode, I get real about the challenges many of us who are parents face - to balance and exist in the dual roles of parenthood and being a therapist in private practice. I remind listeners that we must be gentle with ourselves as we go through the seasons of life in our practice. We cannot ever do it all and, as we are reminded to practice self-care and remind our clients to do the same, sometimes we are in a place in life where that looks very different than how we would like it to. I hope you enjoy this exploration into what it means to find balance in a world of competing responsibilities.
