I’m excited to welcome Florida-based trauma therapist Sarra Lashhab to the podcast today! In today’s episode, we’re chatting about how to get clients from Instagram with a small following.

Sarra started out in community mental health and has now built a FULL private practice (Healing Loudly) with less than 1,000 followers on Instagram! She specializes in helping survivors of sexual violence, a deeply important and often “taboo” topic on social media. 

She is proof that you don’t need a massive audience to create impact and income. You just need to show up with clarity, consistency, AND a heart to help your people!

In this episode, we cover: 

• Sarra’s transition from community mental health to launching her private practice
• How she’s consistently gotten clients from Instagram
• The type of content Sarra creates + what performs best for her audience
• How she balances growth with genuine community-building on Instagram
• Main referral sources for her current clients
• Why keeping a simple, consistent CTA works so well
• How narrowing her niche has fueled her growth & confidence
• The powerful shift in her income since leaving community mental health
• Her experience inside the Reels Membership vs. creating content solo
• Sarra’s best advice for therapists who feel nervous to start showing up on Instagram
