NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

No, but really...

People want guarantees.

Every time I jump on a consultation call with a practice owner who's considering investing in marketing, I get the same question:

"How long does it take to see results?"

The honest answer is: "It depends..."

But it's also become a running joke among marketers because this answer is vague and deeply unsatisfying.

In reality, guaranteeing results in marketing is almost like guaranteeing results from therapy. There are just too many variables. That being said...

I recently partnered with Heard to write an article that addresses the question of "How Long Does It Take to Fill Your Therapy Practice?"

In it, I go into detail about the many business and marketing elements that could affect your outcomes as well as specific strategic steps you can take to speed up the process of filling your caseload.

And although I can't guarantee a full caseload, I can help you get there faster by offering my insights.

NEWS, TRENDS & DATA

Changes in the Eating Disorders market

The high demand for Eating Disorders providers drove many opportunists into the market during the 2020-2022 pandemic years.

Now, the market is adjusting itself, filtering out quality providers and addressing its challenges.

Allan Benham, the CEO of Alsana, discusses these changes in this Behavioral Health Business podcast episode.

Therapist or a TikTok celebrity?

“I’ve decided not to work with a therapist before because they mentioned that they use TikTok and Instagram, even though they explicitly stated that they would never share personal details from sessions.”
Rebecca*, a 32-year-old living in London.
“I actually found my therapist through TikTok”
Casey*, 25, who has been seeing her current therapist for six months.

Both quotes are representing the two opposing views on therapists' videos on TikTok in a recent article from The Independent.

Mental health providers are divided on the topic of TikTok as well, mentioning potential dangers that come from self-diagnosing, etc.

Normalizing psychotherapy for medical workers

A recent survey of 9,000 physicians in the US found that 49% feel burnt out and 20% reported feeling depressed.

Unfortunately, only 11% reported seeking mental health help because of fear of disclosure to medical boards and insurance records.
