If marketing your practice feels uncomfortable, you’re not alone.
Y’all, most of us didn’t get trained in this. We thought we’d be sitting with clients… not figuring out websites, messaging, and how to get found.
In this episode, I’m talking with Bianca Hughes about how to market your practice in a way that actually feels natural and not salesy. We get into why therapists avoid marketing, how imposter syndrome shows up, and what really helps clients find you.
Here’s the big takeaway. Marketing isn’t about performing. It’s about being clear on who you help and being yourself.
Because the right clients are already looking. They just need to be able to find you.
