Welcome back for another episode of the Future Template Parent Podcast! In today's episode, I interview Amanda Buduris, Ph.D. who is a licensed psychologist and business coach based in the Pacific Northwest. After building a thriving private practice centered around therapy intensives, she scaled back her clinical work while growing a coaching business that has generated over $1 million in just 3.5 years. Amanda didn’t achieve that by working more hours; she did it by creating streamlined systems, sustainable offers, and marketing strategies that actually work for therapists. Now, she helps other therapists do the same: simplify their business, attract the right clients, and build practices that are both profitable and aligned with the life they want to live.

Topics covered:

• Introduction to Intensives and Marketing Strategies
• The Journey to Offering Intensives
• SEO and AEO Marketing Insights
• Blogging in the Age of AI
• Optimizing Online Presence for Therapists
• Common Missteps in Marketing and SEO
• The Future of Intensive Therapy

Welcome back for another episode of the Future Template Parent Podcast! In today's episode, I interview Yesim Saldivia (Yish) who is a holistic trauma therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. She helps adults make sense of patterns like people-pleasing, hyper-independence, and feeling “high-functioning” on the outside but overwhelmed underneath. Her work integrates EMDR, IFS, inner child work, and somatic, nervous-system-based care to support healing that goes beyond insight and into lasting change. She also offers therapy intensives for those ready to move through deeper work in a more focused way. Warm, real and human-Yesim brings humor and honesty into the room while still making space for the deeper work. She is EMDR Certified, a Consultant-in-Training (soon to be Approved Consultant), offering individual and group EMDR consultation to therapists looking to deepen their skills and confidence. In her spare time she enjoys the outdoors, time with her family and friends, a good book/podcast and reality tv.

Topics covered:

• How Yesim got into EMDR therapy in 2007
• Transitioning from agency work to private practice for flexibility
• The role of therapy intensives in deep healing work
• Navigating client permission and resistance in parts work
• Conducting three-hour intensive sessions and their outcomes
• Bringing in IFS elements within EMDR sessions—approaches and challenges
• Explaining parts work to clients unfamiliar with the language
• Understanding client readiness and internal conflicts in parts work
• Navigating the online therapy community and personal branding
• Building a supportive network of therapist colleagues across the country
• Future plans: expanding intensives, retreats, and balancing work and life
