Let’s be crystal clear about something:
Private pay therapists aren’t unwilling to take insurance
Insurance companies are unwilling to pay the cost of therapy
Dear anyone who employs therapists. Pizza parties don’t make up for a lack of supervision, a lack of fair pay, and a lack of fair hours. #TherapistTwitter
Private Practice Tip of the Day: Set aside time in your calendar each month to get out and market your practice. Even just a few meetings with other therapists can grow your practice. However, you have to make the time to do it. #TherapistTwitter
Private Practice Tip of the Day #3: plan your holiday schedule now. Get clear on your boundaries and communicate them with clients so you are all on the same page #TherapistTwitter
Private Practice Tip of the Day #2 - Put a clock above your client’s head within eyesight so you can check the time ⏰ without looking rude or disinterested. #pptips#TherapistTwitter#therapistsontwitter#therapy
Private Practice Tip of the Day #1 - From the very beginning, decide on your sliding scale policies and boundaries. You can provide low fee spots while still earning a substantial income IF you have boundaries and clarity. #TherapistTwitter
Therapists, remember to send a thank you note for every referral you receive. A handwritten thank you card is one of my favorite business tools for private practice.
As someone who is new to this platform I’m feeling a little bit conflicted about whether or not to stay. My main platform is Instagram… Which has plenty of its own problems as well. Any therapists have thoughts? #therapisttwitter
I read @BecomingaThera's newsletter today about financial self-advocacy (subscribe, y'all!). Clearly, some therapists feel awkward about money talk, and there's a reason for that.
Not being paid in practicum/internship conditions us to minimize the financial worth of our work.
Serious question. My “therapist chair” has a footrest. Is it rude to put my feet up during session? Should I get at client footrest too? #TherapistTwitter
Burnout is real 🔥 If you want to work in this field for the next 40 years, it’s time to ask yourself, “what boundaries do I need to set now so I can continue to serve my clients?” #therapisttwitter
@KelleyTPPP@Therapists_C Agreed. This is the synergistic approach that comes from an abundance mentality. There is no shortage of clients or related work. We don't have to fight over referrals or attention.
