    Networking for Therapists: How to Stop Feeling Salesy and Start Building Referrals [Ep 181]
    2026/08/31

    How do you network without being awkward, salesy, or draining your energy?

    In today's episode, I'm sharing a version of networking for therapists that feels less transactional and a lot more powerful: hosting your own networking event. When you create the event, everything changes. You have a clear reason to reach out to colleagues, you get to choose the kind of gathering that fits your energy, and you make it easier for other people to remember who you are and what you do. And believe it or not, this can be simple and easy.

    We'll talk about why local referrals still matter while online marketing and algorithms keep changing, what makes networking feel so uncomfortable in the first place, and why a full practice is not a reason to disappear from your local community. I’ll also give you ideas for making an event fit your actual energy, whether you would rather host six people over dinner or invite a bigger group somewhere casual.

    If networking has always felt salesy or exhausting, this episode will help you create a version that feels generous and realistic enough to keep doing.

    • Why therapist networking can feel transactional before the first conversation even starts

    How to Market Yourself as a Therapist Without Relying on Instagram: Using SEO and Podcasting to Get Consistent Inquiries [Ep 180]
    2026/08/24
    When Brittney Scott first came on The Bad Therapist Show, she was still in the early stages of producing her podcast, Mother Daughter Relationship Show, and figuring out what kind of marketing she could keep doing without forcing herself to become an Instagram person. A lot has changed since then.In this episode, Brittney is back to talk about what happened when she gave her marketing enough time to work. We get into the reality of publishing when almost no one is listening, the mindset that helped her stay with it, and why she approaches problems in her business so differently now.Brittney also shares how her podcast, website, email list, and social media started working together. We talk about what she needed to understand before she felt ready to hand parts of the process to someone else, and why understanding the craft and knowing what sounds like her made that handoff possible.We also talk about a much bigger change in her business: creating a coaching offer alongside her therapy work. Brittney explains why that shift made sense for her life, what she had to do to make the coaching offer genuinely different from therapy, and her advice if you’re considering the same move.If you have been wondering whether to keep going with your marketing, build a new offer, or finally delegate so you can get some of your time back, this conversation is for you.More about Brittney ScottBrittney Scott is a therapist and mother-daughter relationship coach.

  • Your Therapy Cancellation Policy May Be Costing Your Private Practice Money [Ep 179]

    Your Therapy Cancellation Policy May Be Costing Your Private Practice Money [Ep 179]
    2026/08/17

    Your calendar can look packed while your income tells a different story. Clients come every other week, summer cancellations open holes you can't replace, and a crowded roster creates more admin. On paper, your therapy practice looks successful. In reality, it may not support the life you built it for.

    In today's episode, I'm asking you to look past client count and assess what's actually happening in your business. We'll examine the gap between a busy practice and a profitable one, why another income stream won't repair a leaky foundation, and what to consider before changing your fees or therapy cancellation policy.

    Those changes can feel wasteful after you've worked so hard to attract clients. They also involve real uncertainty. Some clients may leave, others may stay, and you can't predict every response. You can assess the risk, communicate clearly, and use your clinical skill without pushing anyone toward a choice that isn't right for them.

    If the end of summer brings enough relief that you stop looking at the problem, this episode will help you see the cycle before another year passes. Press play to decide what a more stable practice requires from you now.

    Topics covered on this episode:

    1. Why a packed calendar can create a false sense of safety when income remains unstable
    2. What client count misses about attendance, pricing, admin load, and the health of your practice
    3. The risk questions to ask before changing your fees or therapy cancellation policy
    4. Why passive income won't repair a practice that keeps leaking revenue
    5. How “good therapist” conditioning and sunk-cost thinking make necessary business changes feel wasteful or uncaring
    6. Using clinical skill to hold honest money conversations while respecting each client's choice
