Private Practice Elevation with Daniel Fava

Today's episode of the Private Practice Elevation podcast is going to be right to the point. Many therapists build a website and put a lot of time and effort into it, only to wonder why it's not actually getting them any clients. They think, "if I build it, they'll come, right?" Not always. In this episode, I'll share 5 simple things that many therapists are missing on their websites. Things that will help you get more clients in your own private practice.

The Coronavirus pandemic has certainly changed the way we do business. Especially for therapists who have been used to seeing clients face to face. And if things are slowing down in your practice, you may be tempted to cut your marketing budget. But, if done right, this may actually be a great opportunity to reach even more of your ideal clients and continue to grow your practice. In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, I invited John Sanders back on to talk about what he's seeing in keyword trends and how you can continue (or start) using Google Ads successfully, even during and after this pandemic.

A few weeks have now gone by since the first stay-at-home orders started being issued to help curb the spread of COVID-19. Most of us have taken heed and have shifted to a shelter-in-place lifestyle and adjusting to this strange new "normal'.  With so much confusion and uncertainty it can be difficult to to remain steadfast in your private practice. In this episode I'm going to outline opportunities that you can be working on now to improve your private practice marketing in the future. Let's use this time as an opportunity to invest our businesses and make them more resilient, shall we?

In this episode, we'll discuss 13 things you can do before you even being creating a therapy website that will help set you up for success when your website project finally begins. At Private Practice Elevation, we believe the most successful projects are the ones we plan for.  That especially includes the launch of your private practice website (or a redesign of your old one).  One section of that task list is the number of things that needs to be done way before any design has even started. So in this episode, we'll discuss those tasks and what you can do before you build any page or even purchase a domain for your private practice.

In this episode, you're going to learn how to take the drudgery out of the admin work and enjoy more of what you do in private practice.  Many of us think that if we just have enough willpower we can motivate ourselves, day-in and day-out, to get more done.

She's a therapist, mother, and entrepreneur with a passion for making documentation, systems development, organization and culture building available to therapists in all different phases and stages of their practices.

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread around the world, destroying the economy and taking lives in its wake. If you're like most therapists, you probably have found yourself needing to transition your entire practice to an online one as we all work together to stem the spread of this virus. We're certainly not immune over here in the Fava household. The day I'm writing this, our county has issued a state of emergency and all non-essential businesses are closing by the hour. I just got a text from my mechanic saying they're cutting down their hours. Sorry, Rocco! My wife and I have been working out a schedule as we watch our 3-year-old son and balance keeping our businesses moving forward as best we can. What's been amazing though is the sense of community that has grown out of actually NOT being able to meet in person! Who would have thought? So many people have banded together to share resources and help you make some difficult transitions in order to continue providing great therapy services to your clients. Some of you may have already had a full or semi-online practice, so you may not have skipped a beat as you entered quarantine. For others, it may have been (or continues to be) a scramble. To help you out, we've collected many of the great resources out there to help your private practice survive the Coronavirus pandemic so that you can keep moving forward.

Listen to their responses in this bonus episode.

Well, to help us navigate the challenge of focusing on the right things in private practice and reaching goals, we're chatting with Nicole Liloia.
