Building Your Practice When You're New or Just Starting Out
Description
This episode of “Marketing for Therapists” tackles the post-graduation hurdles faced by new counsellors. Hosts Daniela Torres and Rod Pancine address listener questions about transitioning to full-time practice, managing different personality types (entrepreneurial vs. introverted), and building a successful therapy practice without the need for relentless “hustling.” The podcast emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, strategic planning, and identifying core services. Practical advice includes a “learn or hire” approach to managing practice tasks, A/B testing marketing efforts, and considering a clinic association for mentorship, experience, and reduced initial risk. The hosts stress the significance of authenticity, passion, and overcoming self-doubt through self-reflection and avoiding perfectionism. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to take action, experiment, and trust their intuition in navigating their career path.
