S5 | E9 How I Found Therapy Clients (Therapist Private Practice Tips)
In this podcast, I’m replying to a question from one of my YouTube channel's subscribers: “How do I actually find clients and grow a private therapy practice?” This is something I get asked all the time, so I wanted to share my personal journey, including some of the lessons I’ve learned, and the steps I took to build my private practice from the ground up. This is a continuation of my previous podcast about potential earnings, specifically focusing on how to build a therapist private practice and find clients:

If you’re just starting out or looking to scale, there’s so much potential out there—and yes, there are definitely enough clients for you. But it’s all about knowing where to find them and how to position yourself. I’m sharing my top 10 sources of clients, what worked for me back in 2017 vs. now, and some advice that a friend sent my way that I think will resonate with many of you.
