There are so many resources out there for private practice owners these days! It’s hard to know where the best place is to invest your money. What will really help you grow? As a private practice owner myself, I (Jessica) understand.
While Simplified SEO offers amazing resources for therapists wanting to rank better on Google, we understand there may be additional resources you need as your grow your practice. Here are some resources I recommend, many of which I personally use for my own practice!
Logo & Graphic Design
Oliver Rains Group -> This amazing Graphic Design company is based out of Springfield, MO. They (specifically Brad Oliver) designed the logo, business cards, and all of the marketing materials for my private practice. Their work truly is the highest quality and I can’t recommend them enough!
Website Development
Brighter Vision -> Brighter Vision create therapist websites using the Word Press platform. They install Yoast on your site and use specially developed themes so they don’t need bulky website builders. Furthermore, if you have one of their websites and are using my services I often communicate with them directly (but CC you on all communication), because we work really well together. I’ve had great luck getting their sites ranking well!
Growing Therapists -> Cris makes beautiful Word Press websites really tweaked to give you exactly what you need.
Practicery -> A Great Husband/Wife (she’s a therapist!) due creating Square Space sites for therapists.
Practice Boss-> A great, super friendly business that can help you create a Square Space site for an affordable price.
*We do have a couple others that we really like – one for high end word press sites and one for Square Space websites so feel free to reach out if you’d like other recommendations!
Video for Therapist Websites
Cupla Media -> Cupla media can help you add video to your counseling website. They have a free e-book that I used to help create introductory videos for each of my therapist’s “About pages.” They also have “practice shorts” which are short videos you can customize with your logo and embed on the service pages of your website.
Private Practice Consulting
Practice of the Practice –> I have gone through the “Start a Group Practice” Mastermind, the “Next Level Mastermind” and consulted with Joe personally. Additionally, I’ve attended Slow Down School and recorded a webinar about SEO with Joe for his Next Level Practice group. I credit Practice of the Practice with a lot of my success in my own practice, particularly early on!
Natalie Nesbitt -> Natalie has done a great job figuring out work/life balance! She knows her priorities (hint: it’s being a mom) and builds her business around this! Now she’s helping other mom therapists do the same! I have gained so much from our conversation and recommend her services to anyone….especially mom therapists & practice owners!
Private Practice Support
Mindsight Partners -> Mindsight partners, created by one of my personal heroes Kacey Compton, this unique program gives private practice owners access to support from experts in a variety of areas. For instance, they have someone who specializes in community marketing, another who helps with HR questions and others who provide content creation for social media.
Virtual Assistants
Move Forward Virtual Assistants -> Move Forward Virtual Assistants offers many services to take tasks off of your plate as a therapy practice owner. They offer traditional VA services, such as managing phone calls, emails, scheduling, verifying insurance benefits, and data entry. In addition, they offer blog writing services, social media management and graphic design packages (I have one of theirs on my home page!). Alison is a group practice owner herself, so she is in a unique position to create a company to meet the needs of other private practices!
Blog Post Creation
Move Forward Virtual Assistants–> Blogging is SO important for SEO. If you don’t have time or energy to write your own blog posts, this is the next best thing! Move Forward VAs will write you an original blog post that is long enough to help with your SEO. Furthermore, they will work with you to choose topics that target keywords you want to rank for. If you have my four page monthly SEO package, you can just forward them the blog post ideas we send you each month!
Simplified SEO Consulting-> OR Consider our Blog writing service that focuses on writing fully optimized blog posts that will help you rank better on search engines.
Therapist Conferences
Killin’ It Camp -> I am so excited to speak at Killin’ It Camp 2019! Joe Sanok really knows how to put on a great event so I’m confident this will be an amazing experience for all involved! If you are ready to learn how to balance work and your personal life and where to invest your time/energy/money in your practice, this is the conference for you!
Therapy Re-Imagined-> Simplified SEO Consulting has chosen Therapy Re-Imagined as the first conference we will ever sponsor. Why? Because it sounds amazing! You earn CEUs AND learn about what it will take to own a successful private practice as a therapist in the 21st century. Best of all? It’s being held at Universal Studios in California!
Facebook Groups
My Private Practice Tribe -> This group provides a TON of great information about running a private practice. Amanda, the administrator, does videos with tips on things such as filling your daytime slots, using social media and more. I highly recommend joining this group!
