"Your ability to present technical information and marketing concepts to therapists -- mostly a group of non-techies and sometimes business phobic people -- is heads and tails above others trying to do this." C. Kvikstad, MFT Do You Find it Hard to Market Your Practice? You're not alone. Most therapists feel some anxiety at the idea of marketing. We associate that word with having to shmooze or to "sell ourselves." Most of us have experienced abrasive marketers that manipulate and exploit people with no regard for boundaries. Yuck. Good Marketing is Respectful and Ethical Done right, marketing can be the beginning of the therapeutic process. The way you advertise your services, create a website, give presentations, and interact with the public are all opportunities to begin creating rapport with your ideal client. Our Mission: Taking the Pain Out of Marketing We want marketing to become one of the many pleasures of running your business. Marketing can become a creative outlet and a way to balance the introspection and isolation of a private practice. And as you know, whenever you overcome anxiety or resistance and expand your skills, it makes you feel stronger and increases your self-esteem. What We Offer www.therapy-marketing.com began as a resource for therapists who were students and clients of Julie Levin, MFT - a Bay Area therapist who taught marketing skills and concepts to colleagues. Though Julie no longer offers live classes or consultation, Julie has decided to keep the website going as a resource to the community, offering articles and information to help others on their journey. If you find this site of value, please consider purchasing one or more of Julie's low-cost study guides (see testimonials). These guides provide all the information that Julie taught in her classes. We hope they serve you well. Need More Support? Recently, Julie met one of the owners of ZynnyMe. She was delighted to discover someone who shares her ethics, and exceeds her skills as a marketing expert AND a technology expert. If you're looking for help, would like effective support, and want a way to make the process easy, Julie highly recommends ZynnyMe.
