In the episode, Doctor TK shares insights from a community survey conducted on Instagram about the multifaceted challenges of private practice, including marketing, mindset, finances, and taxes. The focus narrows to the pivotal question of selecting a niche, drawing from the host's journey from considering a PsyD to discovering the potential of private practice through a mentor. Despite initial reservations due to lack of experience and the daunting prospect of student loans, the hosts' exposure to private practice possibilities during a summer camp and encouragement from a grad school professor shifted their perspective.
The key takeaway is to leverage personal strengths and preferences without succumbing to external competition, suggesting simplicity and authenticity as the foundation for growth in private practice.

Timestamps:* (04:33) Authenticity * (06:19) Telling your story * (08:17) Value over sales
Standout Quotes:* "The way that I've learned over time how to maintain my authenticity while promoting products and services is by showing up as the person that I am in that season.... I'm going through a season, but it may mean that I show up differently when I'm going through that season, but I'm still being authentic to who I am." * "Sharing my personal stories... actually creates a deeper connection with my audience.... Anytime I share something personal, I will always have somebody in my DM saying, 'Thank you so much for being vulnerable to share those pieces.'"

Standout Quotes:* "Right before you start marketing a book, but honestly, to the people who are in the phases of having an idea to write a book, or you have a book sitting on your computer right now, identify what your main goal is first." * "Leads is your name and email address. And that has to do with the thing that a lot of people try to stay away from because you despise it, but your business thrives off of it, which is email marketing." * "What I end up doing to position myself as the expert is I took the book and I started using it as my business card. So when I would go to events, I would give the, let's just say, the person who was hosting the event..., a free book if they don't already have a book.... If I'm sitting on a panel, I would bring five books. At the end of the day, the book took you... probably $45... for that to turn into ROI of presentation somewhere else, workshops, speaking engagements, more leads." * "A book is never just a book; a book is a business card. It is a lead generator. It is an opportunity for you to get more opportunities, but you cannot be afraid to market your book."

- 17:58 Why You Should Niche Down

Standout Quotes:
- "I niched down because I knew: where I wanted to go— I wasn't going to get there by serving everyone. And I knew that I needed to fine-tune what problem I solved, who I wanted to serve, what could I help them with, and how I can articulate what I can do for them in words, on paper, and on video."
- "In the beginning, I niched down. Over time, as I perfected my craft with, first, one main stream of income, then I started taking those clients, listening to them, and creating products that they wanted..., and they actually invested in it."

Standout Quotes:
- “Even though the big space was great…, what's most important for my clients is connecting to each other. At the end of the day…, as long as they can be in the same room, they are good. Why? Because therapists work in isolation.”
- “One of the things that I wish I had enough courage to do is pre-sale tickets… and say, ‘Hey, we're going to have an event, it's going to be in March. I don't want to dedicate dates because it's based on venue space.’ That will tell me around and about what kind of venue I should be looking for.”
- “I realized after I sat still, that I really, really need to take the rest of this year to focus on higher quality questions, especially when things go wrong, versus focusing on, ‘Let's just vent about what went wrong.’”
- “What's important to me is paying attention to who is serving us at the venue…. We made sure to turn over all of the catering department people's names and give them a five-star rating… because we wanted to make sure that they were acknowledged because they did their job well.”

- “If you're putting out content and you're putting out words that are aligning with what your expertise is, google is gonna start… playing around with your website, with your directory profiles because you're putting in… keywords that will link people to you based on what they're typing in.”

Doctor TK shares her insights, such as the approach to launching and maintaining her programs based on profitability and impact.

- "I will say that I'm an experimenter... So if you wonder…, ‘Why does she launch this once and she doesn't launch it again,’ whatever happened on the back end in terms of the structure, the clientele, the feedback— if something was not working, even if it was the show rate…, if I'm no longer aligned with it, I ain't doing it..."
- "So it shows me that the problem that I'm solving is profitable and that I'm making an impact, and that's why that program can be launched multiple times."
- "I still show up as a teacher, and that's like my genius zone... Like that is how I ran my college courses for like 18, 19 years."
- "But the way that I stood out is that I did not have CE workshops that were mental health-related. They were all business-related, and the reason I did that was to position the types of workshops that I was doing to showcase my other products or services. That is very strategic."

Can therapy be treated as an investment rather than an expense? Learn how to keep your practice thriving without compromising on the value offered to your clients.
Go tune in to this episode as we share an insightful snippet from Day 4 of the Abundant CEO Private Practice Bootcamp for Therapists! You'll gain fresh perspectives on running your private practice, maintaining profitability, and providing high-quality care for your clients. Know the importance of adapting your business to your life rather than the other way around and how doing so can impact those around you. We also highlight how DTA students land speaking engagements with their target clients.
Timestamps:
- (01:46) Treating Therapy as an Investment
- (06:52) Applying Systems to Business and Life
Standout Quotes:
- “I want you to help your clients understand that they are making an investment in their treatment. So instead of you saying something like, therapy costs $150, when you say the word ‘cost,’ it sounds like an expense and the money goes out and it doesn't come back in. That's an expense, and... like coaching, it’s an investment. If you show up and you do the work, you get an ROI back; you get a return on your investment. That is the definition of ROI, return on your investment. What you put out, you get back, but it's usually way larger than what you put back in.”

- (14:36) "In order for me to get the 12 people..., I did 4-5 webinars back to back.... But where does that come from? I know my product is good. I know that I'm a great coach.

- (23:58) "I would say to anybody who's trying to expand is to give yourself time and be ready for things to shift, you have to be ready for the whole change."
- (25:17) "To keep going, you're going to fail— there are going to be things that are not gonna go right the first time— but I would definitely tell [my old self] to invest the money in getting the help that you need; make the sacrifice because it's going to pay-off; and to be cheerful as you give."

- (10:14) "The only great win that I got from [hiring] was, I have to learn a real lesson— just because someone reaches out to you, and you need a person, you just don't hire them.... Make sure that you're screening the individuals up based on... longevity."
- (22:22) "If you're able to make $13,000 by yourself, and you're not going past that..., realize that you can't do it by yourself. If I would have thought about that 6 months before, I probably would be a little further than I am now.”

- (16:28) "If... you put your [product] out there..., launched it multiple times, and you've fine-tuned what you're launching... and you realized it's just not hitting, it doesn't mean you don't have a viable product yet. It may mean..., you may just be pioneering something that is very new, or that people really don't even understand."
- (18:16) "When you're niched down and you love what you do and you don't want to change it..., you may have to realize that the comparison you're doing to other people does not actually measure up because you all technically don't cater to the same specific audience."

It wasn't that I didn't think that I could handle the event by myself (...), but at the end of the day I did not wanna host an event by myself because you never know what can come up and what additional support you need." (07:25) * "The moral of the story was, you may have to go through multiple things up and down, and you may even question why did you have to go through this. But as I've learned through various obstacles that I've run into in my personal life and in my business, there's always the upper side if you believe that anything is possible."

What do you do in your biz when social media shuts down?
Surely a lot of us were affected during that October 4th outage, especially business owners who heavily rely on social media. In order for them to shift and pivot quickly, they should have the capability to execute a plan B. And that is vital in a critical scenario when there’s a need to reach and deliver something to their audience.
In this episode, Doctor TK takes us behind the scenes on how she had successfully managed to conduct her workshop despite the worldwide outage (that’s happening in the middle of her launch!) on the platform where she's supposed to make the live workshop happen.

Standout Quotes: * "Something like this happened 2 years ago.

(05:50) * "Consistency is the name of the game. After you get opt-ins on your email list, it's vitally important that if you do have an email list already, that you nurture your audience." (09:03) * "Even though I have a team, when things need to get done as a biz owner, as a CEO, you're not excused from problem-solving in your business." (12:42)

Episode Timeline: * Introduction to Samiyrah and her practice (02:42) * How did she make the decision to leave her job?

(07:52) * Samiyrah describes her ideal clients (09:19) * As a business owner, how is it like to create a framework? (12:06) * What is her advice to people who have negative views toward therapy?

Standout Quotes from Samiyrah: * "Then September 1 started for me to be full-time into private practice— and I have no regrets. Although there are some, you know, nerves that come along with it. It's absolutely normal. And I'm embracing that, doing it scared, and seeing the results that are making me feel more empowered and confident in my choice." (05:55) * "That has definitely helped me have something to look forward to, have me be structured, be confident in what my weeks look like, and how I can make sure that I set myself up for success. And being in private practice— having that flexibility— allows me to live life on purpose." (08:34) * "Having the framework also helps me be confident in my delivery, and my practice and the services, how I show up on different platforms as well, to be able to know that I can get my client from point A to point B with no problem." (12:29)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Connecting with them is one thing (...), but actually having them be your assigned therapist (...), you can just go to their websites (if they're online), and see either what one state or multiple states that clinician is licensed in because we have what's called ethical codes and we cannot, as therapists, see any clients that do not reside in the state that we're licensed in." (10:38) * "It is important that you know your own framework so that you can say it at the drop of a dime coz you never know who's listening. And that within itself speaks values of your expertise."

They're spending a lot of time searching for answers to help them maneuver through their biz and see profitability..." (06:56) * "You have to ask yourself: Is your way of thinking about your career and your biz aligned with the person that you're getting coaching from? Because they will either help you grow and or taint your views in terms of growing and scaling your biz." (10:19) * "I offer all the pathway, all of the structure and timeline, and I do believe that that has come from me being a college professor for undergrad all the way to doctoral level students, dissertation chairs, and all of that grade stuff for over 17 years now. I also believe that my program (...) creates a pathway for my students also known as our syllabus." (17:00)

It is an essential skill to have a strong knowledge of your product. But in order to proceed with the growth and scaling stage of your business, it's equally important to devise a framework for every product you launch. What some therapists miss out on is they tend to release a course, a book, or a training program without poring over their ideal clients' needs.
In this episode, Doctor TK discusses the 8 crucial areas in your business that you should look into. You’ll be able to take note of the prerequisites before you spend time and money on developing additional products or services.
You can get access to Doctor TK’s Freebie Library at:
https://bit.ly/39ptLnS
Podcast Goals: * Learn the key identifiers for scaling so that you can properly assess your business before taking it to the next level
Episode Timeline: * The definition of growth in business (00:55) * Why you should survey your audience (04:33) * 8 ways to assess if scaling is appropriate right now in your business (06:00) * Should we do all of those 8 ways in order to add streams of income? (11:41) * How to join the Bootcamp virtual party (18:17)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Just because you want to buy those things— just you because you want to create them because you think they're cute— it doesn't mean that people will buy them. People, customers, or consumers will buy what they feel like they need or use." (03:23) * "Have you done your research; polled or surveyed your audience to determine if they want your product— if your [ideal clients] will pay for your product? And is it the right time for you to be launching your product?" (04:16) * "This means that you wanna gain a better understanding of the need of your product and your ideal clients' need for that product before you spend your time and money developing an additional product or service. And you wanna be able to map out that product or service [at least the structure of it] from beginning to end." (05:09) * "Can you scale your biz? YES. You can do it by decreasing the amount of hours that you work in your business with these systems in place and having a good grasp on the product and/or multiple product suites that you offer in your business. However, you will have to dedicate a certain amount of time per week [at least] of working ON your business." (12:56) * "I also stopped trying to be everything to everyone. I niched down and this was hella scary, but I decided to only serve therapists. Before then, I was serving anyone under the sun that wanted to learn about running a business at the basic level because of the things that I had done thus far in my biz." (15:36)

Doctor TK's goal in creating in-person events and mastermind programs has always been to bring clinicians together for them to bond and take their businesses to the next level through growing and scaling. Last November 2020, a live event was held in Las Vegas that introduced therapists to various streams of income. But with the restrictions brought by the pandemic, how did she manage to pull off the event?
In this episode, you'll hear the backstory of the 2020 Las Vegas Branding Mastermind specifically from the preparation up to the actualization of the program. You’ll also understand the value of imparting a clear marketing message to your audience when promoting your programs or events.

(09:13) * "In order for mental health providers [at least in my business] to maybe understand the value of having a coach, sit down with them, take them one by one into the journey of their business and help them scale their business, have a personalized coaching program as well as a very huge community and live events tacked onto their program— it takes me spending live time with therapists." (12:36) * "As a takeaway, your network is your net worth. Be very mindful of the people that you choose to have in your circle, that you give your energy to, your time to, who you listen to. You should be surrounded around people who want to cheer you up and that can pour into you and of course, you do the same for them. (15:00)

Having an innate desire to bring her students together in person, Doctor TK decided to launch an event outside her state for the first time. However, inevitable challenges came up along the way. With only 2 out of 15 people who showed up for the event, how did it still turn out to be epic?
"Sometimes when we wanna host our first event, we're so focused on making a grand entrance and making it super huge that we forget that we probably should start on a virtual space and then see what the need is before we start spending money and dedicating our time to marketing for an event that maybe people don't even want."
In this episode, Doctor TK shares the transformation brought by that experience which later led to her becoming a bi-coastal biz coach, serving over a thousand therapists.

Podcast Goals: * Learn to overcome the adversities in your business by turning your focus on impact rather than numbers in order to recalibrate and make changes to enhance the outcome.
Episode Timeline: * Doctor TK reads the 2019 Facebook post about the very first event she hosted out of state (03:02) * The actual story behind the Facebook post (07:06) * Expectation vs Reality: What are some of the impediments encountered during the event preparation? (08:49) * About the event attendees (12:11) * How did Doctor TK tap into a serious mindset shift during this season in her business? (14:46) * Episode summary (19:00)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "The moral of the story is never give up; because now I serve over 40 states, serving over 1,000 therapists, and I now am considered a bi-coastal business coach because 50% of my coaching clients actually reside on the East Coast." (04:51) * "Sometimes when we wanna host our first event, we're so focused on making a grand entrance and making it super huge that we forget that we probably should start on Zoom— we should probably start online in a virtual space and then see what the need is before we start going out there, and of course, spending money and dedicating our time to marketing for an event that maybe people don't even want." (06:31) * "At the end of the day, the two days were epic! It was my first time understanding the importance of bonding with my clients in person beyond the internet, and also allowing them to see one another together was like EPIC because these two students had known each other from that July cohort." (11:44) * "What they realized is that they learned more hearing from each other's perspective because they were about 20+ years apart and they said that that was one of the benefits of having different levels of clinicians." (13:36) * "I believe that I positioned not only my business to give more value to clinicians through CE events and live events whether it's virtual and/or in person, but I also showed these therapists that you definitely want to work on branding yourself and having an online presence because how our technology world is going, most people will depend on technology honestly to run their life and run their business." (16:36) * "During this time I started to really just hone in on one of my gifts. And one of my gifts is that because I like throwing parties— because I like to entertain— why not combine me pouring value into clinicians around the globe and combine that with a party?" (18:34)

Episode Timeline: * Branding 4 Abundance: How did Doctor TK come up with this name? (01:48) * The backstory behind 'Doctor TK' and why that became her best reference (03:11) * Why sitting still can be the best initial approach to naming your business (05:12) * Resilient Communities: On naming her then group practice (06:20) * Your Turn: Formulate your business name using these steps (08:08)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "I didn't sit down and say, what is that catchy name? What is the name that I can call myself? No. I started just paying attention to what I started being known for. And I also looked at what was easy for people to remember [as well] if I now had a choice to introduce myself as Doctor Jackson, Doctor Tekesia Jackson, or Doctor TK." (04:18) * "I would encourage you to let the name come to you through sitting still. Sitting in meditation. Doctor TK came for me being still and just allowing all of these thoughts to come to me. Branding 4 Abundance came to me because I was actually coming from a conference and I just ask myself what describes me, my company, what I represent, and what I'm going to represent?" (05:24) * "If you do this activity and you sit still for a moment, you'll probably see your business name pop right out the paper at you. And you're probably like, I'll be damned; because these are things that you've been knowing this whole time." (08:45)

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Can you take a vacation? And if the answer is no, you may still be in the beginning phases of your private practice, which is perfectly normal, but after 2 years which is the norm for a private practice— my hope is that you got it together. And if you don't, that simply means you've probably been using the same tools that you've been doing from day one and that's not helpful if you're trying to grow your practice, your business." (06:51) * "I don't sell you anything. I always host either a webinar, a masterclass, a virtual party, whatever you wanna call it, or I will host a live event— and my goal is to transform your life when you show up. Transform your mindset and your business, when you show up even with free content." (09:34) * "This is also why a lot of therapists that I meet in my programs are not able to really charge their value: Because they don't even understand their value with their expertise and they feel like they don't want to be salesy to a client. But I want you to reframe that: Are you being salesy? Or are you transforming someone's life, you're offering a solution to their problem, and they are investing in the solution so that they can maneuver through life more smoothly?" (10:27) * "Your clinical license will not be enough for you to keep your doors open and have an abundance of overflow. You can't say, I mean you can say it, but it won't run your business for you to just operate and say, I'm a clinical psychologist, I'm a licensed social worker, that's not enough. Do you actually run your business, do you actually have time when you're working on your business vs just in your business?" (11:49)

As life coaches gain influence and popularity on reality shows, the number of people seeking out mental health services has also been increasing. However, the general public may not have the proper resources to differentiate a therapist from a coach. And sometimes, therapists who offer coaching services are unsure whether to refer them for therapy or coaching.
In this episode, Doctor TK addresses this commonly-asked question. Tune in as she gives a guide for mental health providers to set clear expectations between therapy and coaching, make the right decisions, and protect the clients' well-being.

Podcast Goals: * Understand the important areas to consider before signing up a client for coaching
Episode Timeline: * About APA Ethics Code: Will a therapist violate an ethical code if they see someone for coaching? (02:33) * 3 things that mental health providers should consider before accepting coaching clients (03:47) * Clinicians are starting a coaching business because they think it's less restricted. How can they really have fewer restrictions and serve a wider range of clients? (07:23) * Starting a coaching business also allows clinicians to serve clients globally. How can they make sure that their clients fall within the coaching category? (10:19) * Therapists shouldn't default to coaching for financial reasons. Here's how you can learn more about having a profitable private practice. (12:30)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Most therapists start a coaching business because they say that it's less restricted. But remember, restrictions were put in place, especially in therapy services, to protect the health and the mental health of our clients because what is the number one ethical code? Do no harm." (07:39) * "When you're only chasing money and you're not chasing the change the impact, the transformation that you can make in the world, in the community that you serve, it's gonna be a lot harder for you to hit your goals; I'm not saying you're not gonna be successful, but you may not hit the level of success that you desire because chasing money gets tiring vs chasing impact—it has a different type of internal reward." (06:50) * "Therapy is you walking the client through which strategies— their ability to open their baggage, process their baggage, forgive their baggage, and clear out their baggage as much as possible— so that they can be functional. Your goal is to get them functional." (08:17) * "Coaching is to take that now functional person as 70 to 75 percent and help them start working toward their future goals." (09:08) * "I would hope that you would use your expertise as a therapist to make a transformation, an impact in the world, versus defaulting into coaching services just for financial reasons."

Podcast Goals: * Learn the scripting method to amp your motivation and mindset
Episode Timeline: * Scripting is a manifestation tool that lets you tap into the life you want. (02:05) * The five steps to scripting (04:44) * Reading the script that’s created in October 2019 (08:34) * It has been done: Going through the items that came to life after 2 years (11:45)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "My script was more speaking about my belief that it was already done, meaning my script would have to speak in future tense as though I'm already pregnant or I already have my son. Also what scripting does is it trains your subconscious mind to attract what you wanted to attract because it's really all about energy." (04:25) * "What's really really important is that you get clear on where you want to be." (07:46) * "Go back and read or listen to your script. I would encourage you to read it to see the words that you wrote down. Determine what is not complete and simply decide if that is the current season that you're still in as aligned with your purpose. And if it's not aligned with your purpose (...), then maybe you need to shelf that project or lifestyle goal then put it to the side." (11:17)

Episode Timeline: * Doctor TK's involvement in various school activities shows her love for structure and leadership at a very young age (02:57) * The eagerness to learn and achieve a good GPA as a college student (05:32) * Taking an elective course for Teaching while on the pursuit of a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology (07:09) * While earning her Doctorate Degree, Doctor TK was exposed to developing programs for children of color, hosting workshops, working with case management, and providing linkage to community resources (08:25) * Teachable moments during the housing market crash and how it shaped her breakthrough and resiliency (11:38) * Working as a Clinical Psychologist in the LA county also allowed her to lead a team who's working on programs for the youth in the juvenile facilities (21:07) * Why is she sharing all of this?

(03:00) * "I am a fast action taker. Anyone who knows me knows that when I have an idea, I act up on it, and I finish it. And it may not even be, for example, a stream of income that I'm still doing, but at least I can say that I tried it, or it didn't work because I didn't have the capacity." (11:04) * "I also didn't understand the value of collecting testimonials— or requesting feedback forms from the agencies, from the participants, from the kids that I served— and developing all of these programs. I was literally sitting on a gold mine, and I didn't recognize it until later (...) when I hired a coach to help take me through my journey." (15:04) * "Sometimes, what has to happen when you think you're hitting rock bottom is you may need to sit down, get quiet, and ask yourself and/or ask your Higher Power or this Universe, what needs to be your next move." (16:28) * "Sometimes when you take a detour from what was on your vision board, you end up exactly where you're supposed to be, when you're supposed to be there." (20:06) * I would honestly have my students make a vision board (...) so that when they're learning the materials in class, they can see that this is another seed that is planted for them to get closer to the person on that vision board. (24:26) * "It would not be in service to me if I know that my Higher Power has given me— the gift to teach, to make relationships with people, to like to throw and host parties and live events— I would actually be disrespectful if I throw away that gift."

Play therapy provides a safe space for children to express their emotions, improve communication, and develop problem-solving skills. However, kids coming from diverse backgrounds may only have access to the tools that fail to represent their outward appearance and feelings. This inspired James to launch a variety of products that support all ages in identifying a range of emotions while promoting self-awareness, and encouraging continuous exposure to other languages.
Join us in today’s episode as Doctor TK and James review the lack of clinically appropriate play therapy tools for children of color, followed by ways to address this issue. James also shares how his schedule has improved after scaling his business and the huge impact of having accountability partners.

Standout Quotes from James: * "But there weren't any tools provided by the agency that reflected us, so people wanted us to find something; we had to go out and buy it ourselves, and that was for me, sometimes it reimburses where the most kind of things but most often, not that specific kind of tool." (12:48) * I want to continue on this path of expanding our sense of identity and connecting to these cultures (...) so that we can continue to develop and remain curious about who we are as individuals and our identity. (15:13) * "It's really just looking at time differently, creating that vision for oneself, and maintaining a relationship with that vision. Don't just put it on the side." (26:13)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "I'm just putting a tip out there for our students and clinicians that if you're on a site and what you're doing and the tools that you have if they don't really resonate with your clients so that it can trigger them to become vulnerable when they open up and talk about their emotions, you actually need to say something." (13:13) * "One thing that I wanna sum up with circles of influence is that it's okay to have multiple accountability partners who serve different roles in your life." (27:46)

Saying no to any type of client was particularly hard for Christy in the beginning. This also holds true for many therapists especially in the midst of the pandemic when there's an urgent need to get therapy. However, the lack of niche and attention to the back office of one's business won't bring about a thriving private practice.
In this episode, Christy and Doctor TK talk through the ethical processes of therapy related to serving identified clients and creating waitlists. Christy also shared some of the big wins in her private practice after she had successfully broken her agency mindset and started tracking her numbers.

Standout Quotes from Christy: * "Now I'm working with adults; and being able to process your adulthood, how your childhood is impacting your adulthood, that was like my niche. I noticed that I will have sessions at 7 o'clock at night and I still have this drive." (06:36) * "I thought I was doing something but in reality, I wasn't doing anything. So now whenever I'm doing my consultations, I'm okay with, if you're in my niche and I have the availability, let's make it happen. But if not, let me refer you to somebody else that can help you because I don't have to be all things to all people." (22:19) * "If you are in a place where you just don't have peace of mind, then therapy is the right place to start." (27:56)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "You're very unto something if you sometimes, not in all cases, feel like you're actually seeing the wrong client. And ethically you shouldn't keep seeing that kid just because the parent wants you to when we know that that's not the identified client." (13:04) * "I just wanna give a disclaimer to therapists that you need to pay attention — or I suggest that you pay attention to your numbers — how many phone calls you get per week, and the comparison to how we were last year at this time because the fact is people are going back to work, kids are back in school, and so the level of urgency may not be as present as it was 12 months ago, specifically because people are moving back to their new norm."

Receiving appropriate care and support for mental health issues is crucial for recovery but can be expensive. No matter how severe your symptoms are, it is valuable to find resources that are comprehensive and easily accessible.
Finding the right therapist for you and your family should not be difficult and complicated. In today’s episode, Doctor TK will walk you through the process that’s coupled with helpful tips to help you understand your mental health insurance options and connect with a therapist in your area.
Podcast Goals: * Provide general info on the mental health system to determine where to receive the best possible type of treatment and the exact process to claim your benefits from insurance providers

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "People who go to a private practice are usually able to be higher functioning or moderate to higher functioning, which means that they can still have mental health symptoms, but their symptoms will not cause them to call the therapy provider overnight in an emergency a few times." (03:02) * "A lot of therapists across the country have chosen to close their physical location just like myself specifically because the way the room is setup for therapy— I always give the example to my clients— I have a cloth couch; if I'm seeing 6 clients back-to-back with maybe a break in between, there's no way I can sanitize my office, clean a cloth couch, and it may sound like a joke but this is serious, we're in a time where people want to feel safe beyond just being in a room with their therapists." (10:59) * "If you don't mind seeing a provider Telehealth, you can actually see any provider in the entire state. As long as the therapist is licensed in your state, you can see them." (15:34) * "If you want to have 3 consultations to see how all 3 do therapy before you open up your personal Pandora's box or your child's box, I would highly encourage you to do that because consultation is very different from an intake. An intake is asking you all the detailed questions." (18:26)

Standout Quotes from Dr. Tracy: * "For me, I try not to approach therapy with any type of umbrella of religion or spirituality until my clients bring it up. And when they bring it up, we walk through that door together. And so I try to create a zone where there's no judgment, and as they walk into that door, whether they are the LGBTQ+ community or they are different religion from what I practice, the first environment I create is that emotionally safe environment." (08:23) * "And so because I've given them the information, and again we're having conversations together as counseling, I've not had a client yet who stopped before their EAP sessions were over." (16:56) * "When I started this whole process with you, I would've been just like, oh okay that's a number? Oh okay. I didn't even know what that meant but okay. But now I understand the numbers behind the numbers. I understand where I got the number. I understand the importance of knowing my numbers. I even understand the importance of knowing where my referrals are coming from." (25:13)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "On the therapist's side, you do wanna set up boundaries with any entity, organization, or community setting that you are always involved in so that if someone does come to seek you up for counseling, you have to decide how those boundaries are going to be set up and communicate that to the potential client. Then on the client's side, recognize and respect the boundary." (11:42) * "Clients, as Dr. Tracy is saying, you can actually go talk to your employer and find out about your EAP services, how many sessions you got, what's the name of the panel, and take that back to the therapist and say hey, I have EAP, do you take this panel? Would you mind getting on it? It's a lot of us that want therapy." (20:31)

Sometimes, hitting rock bottom is all it takes before we get to realize that we’ve been pushing ourselves to our limits without being conscious about it. For Doctor TK, the panic attack was a turning point in her career. But leaving her 9 to 5 was definitely not the answer to her health concern.
Therapists are constantly involved with their clients’ mental health concerns, but what if the clinician itself is mentally drained? In today’s episode, you’ll learn what signs you should pay attention to in order to avoid the risk of work distress and show up in the best possible way to your clients.

Episode Timeline: * Doctor TK recounts the grave consequences she faced from work-related stress (01:51) * Work Environment: How revamping your workspace can improve your energy level (04:19) * Warning signs: What are the risks of isolation and in-and-out mentality?

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "I had the panic attack. I ended up in the doctor, they took me off work for 7 days. And during that time, I just really looked at what it is that I really want, what it is that I don't like about my current situation, and I realized that I had a choice and I could not operate out of fear. So I chose to take a quantum leap of faith and I bet on me." (03:28) * "If you have an in-and-out mentality, you're really not actually taking breaks because what you're doing is you're working, working, working. And even if you take a break but you're not around anybody talking about something else or allowing them to talk, you're probably still thinking about your work." (09:36) * "Know who you're working around because the people who are working around you could also increase your somatic symptoms." (20:23) * "You have to be aware as a mental health provider caring for others to take care of yourself. And the only way change is going to happen is if you are aware of it, if you bring it up to a conscious level, if you're no longer in pre-contemplation, but you're in the contemplation stage."

Podcast Goals: * Review the BLOCK methodology to break out of poverty mindset
Episode Timeline: * B: Belief System. What is your belief about abundance? (04:06) * L: Limitations. The limitations that you have been placing in yourself impedes your growth. (06:56) * O: Opportunities. Have you been blocking yourself from opportunities that could transform your mindset and business? (09:46) * C: Creativity. It’s in contrast with contentment or the baby boomer mentality. Utilizing the information that a particular coaching program is providing you will open possibilities to multiply your streams of income. (12:19) * K: Keep. Do you keep doing the same thing over and over again? Or do you want to expand your business by adding valuable products or services? (19:01)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Ask yourself, are you actually the block? Is your mindset the block? Because what do we teach our clients; that if you change the way that you think, that you would change the way that you feel, and that you would change your response, your habits, and/or your behavior. That is typical CBT. But I always find it phenomenal that we can do all these epic transformational strategies with our clients, but we can't seem to apply it to ourselves." (06:30) * "You won't know your full capacity until you're actually all the way, all in, in your business." (08:24) * "Stop looking at money that you have to expand and invest in your business and/or in yourself to make your business go, and instead look at it as an actual investment because investments have returns." (09:13) * "Sometimes we're so focused on chasing the money and you should be focusing on where you can find the tools, the resources, and the people that you need to connect with that can open up doors to the next level of opportunity for abundance."

When someone is content, they don’t usually look for innovation, change or enhancements. This speaks to therapists who settle for clients and schedules that are far from their ideal ones. Meanwhile, therapists living in an abundant manner are committed to set a goal that exceeds the current state they’re in and are mindful about what they want and deserve.
In continuation to the Abundance series, Doctor TK poses a reflective question: Are you using your superhero power at the maximum capacity or are you limiting yourself? Listen as we dive deep into how abundance and contentment are often manifested in a therapist’s career & lifestyle and why you should choose one over the other.

Podcast Goals: * Understand the impact of certain internal and external activities to your financial threshold * Observe the behaviors of someone who’s likely stuck in the contentment space
Episode Timeline: * Being abundant is wanting a large quantity of something, whether that is tangible or intangible materials (00:57) * A financial thermometer threshold is set up based on someone’s money narrative, value from experiential academic experiences, or even a first job from postgrad (02:10) * One way to expand your threshold is to gain exposure to practicum or internship sites (05:37) * Scripting is another way that you can expand your threshold (08:54) * Thinking about what you want vs what you lack is an excellent way to expand your thermometer threshold. Therapists can implement this by setting SMART goals (11:00) * Being content is being okay with what is and having no care for innovation, change, or enhancements. Asking yourself about what makes you happy and whether or not you deserve to earn more can be the first step to avoid this particular state (17:27)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Don't just be hostage to your future goals. What goal do you have for yourself today? How much money do you want to generate in your business today? How many phone calls do you want to attract for referrals to your business today? How many of those phone calls do you want for those people to be your ideal clients today?" (16:35) * "Look at your schedule now. And think about, if there were no limitations on anything, what would your schedule look like a year from now? Are those schedules the same or different? And if they're different, then why are you settling for your current schedule?" (19:55) * "Also with clients, something you want to think about, is do you want to continue seeing the clients that you're currently seeing? Or do you wanna see your ideal clients? This is the difference between contentment and living your life in an abundant manner. You get to choose." (20:27)

In every investment we make, we often have high expectations of getting something back in return. It may be in the form of a physical or mental breakthrough that manifests in our capability to attract our ideal clients and run a profitable business, to name a few. Now an important lesson that every business owner should learn is to have a profound understanding of what you signed up for. Joining multiple courses or programs without a clear intention in mind doesn’t really align with the core meaning of investing.
In today’s episode, we’ll look into the key points that you should note before finally saying YES to investing in yourself. Follow these preparatory steps and start committing your time & money to a particular program that will make a difference to your life, career, or business.

Podcast Goals: * Learn how to be well-prepared before taking future investments
Episode Timeline: * Investment is the action or process of investing to receive something back. It is parallel to the laws of reciprocity and attraction. (02:10) * Throughout life, people invested time and money in areas fundamental for their personal well-being, career, and business. But most of them do not align with the actual definition of investment. (04:54) * A tip for the question "Do you read and explain confidentiality to clients?" is to inform your clients of your processes and policies during a consultation or on the first session. Most clients don’t bother reading consent or policy forms because they focus on getting the urgent care they need. (11:22) * Your ROI is not only measured based on physical but also mental. Examples would be having an increased level of confidence or taking on a biz owner mindset (13:00) * Rule 1: Understand what it is that you want in your life, not just your business. Determine the type of person who will guide you to that goal. And when you are consistent with educating yourself and implementing what you learned, you will see the results being compounded at a later time. (17:29) * Rule 2: Engage with the people who have what you need. Evaluate their teaching style by following them on the platforms they’re in. (23:09) * Rule 3: Make the decision to invest in yourself. Once you’ve recognized rules 1 and 2, look at the possibilities of what you can get back from the investments you’ll make. (24:52) * Rule 4: Focus on desire vs lack. Make sure you align your energy with positivity. (28:49) * Rule 5: Look at your finances. The rule of thumb is to allocate money for a forthcoming event (30:43)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "The one biggest lesson I hope that you learn in terms of business is that you never sign your name on something and you don't understand what you just signed." (06:54) * "You cannot expect— if we're looking at laws of attraction, reciprocity, and the definition of investment— for clients to pay you $1,000/hr when you know your value, you know your worth, you're licensed, you’ve been in the field for how many years, BUT you haven't invested anything beyond your degree..." (09:57) * "A lot of clinicians in my Dope Therapist Academy within the first few weeks, they recognize that they've been seeing themselves as less than in terms of a biz owner. They walk around saying, I'm a boss. I'm an entrepreneur. But my question back to them is, are you a biz owner? Because if you have a business entity— even if it's a W9, DBA— you are a biz owner. Not just a little baby boss. So what you put out there to other people is known as your brand. And if you choose to continue to state in public that, oh I'm just a therapist, that's exactly how people are gonna treat you..." (13:33)

Forgiveness is beneficial for your life and mindset. It helps you focus intentionally on ‘what could be’ versus ‘what you’ve lacked’. It also sets you free from a person or any events that keep you from moving on with your life so you can tap into your purpose and live in the moment.
As a therapist, do you spend so much time focusing on what someone should have given you? Such as...
“My grad school should've taught me how to run a business.”
“My grad school should’ve taught me how to build a practice.”
“My grad school should’ve taught me how to understand business, numbers, social media, client avatar, ideal client.”
Having a lack mindset is what hinders a lot of mental health therapists’ ability to reach the next level of abundance in their life. That’s why in today’s episode of the Abundance series, we’ll review R. Klimes’s 4 stages of forgiveness and learn to apply them the right way so that you can get the power back to yourself and start your journey to an abundant living.

Podcast Goals: * Learn how to take ownership of what you can do to have a profitable business
Episode Timeline: * Forgiveness gives you freedom from your past; from a person you are forgiving; or from the event that you may be holding on to. It also helps you take ownership of your life; keeps you healthy; and lets you focus on what could be vs what you lack. (01:38) * “Acknowledgment” stage is to acknowledge the hurt that you may have felt from not having to learn about opening up or thriving in a biz or private practice in your graduate school (05:54) * “Bar from revenge” stage is taking ownership rather than passing the blame to a particular institution (06:39) * “Consider” stage is to review and understand why a traditional school doesn’t provide information on running a private practice business (09:27) * “Decide” stage is acceptance, not choosing to pass your hurt or anger to what you consider the offender (11:33) * “Extend” stage is extending compassion to what you consider the offender. Not doing so would lead to a lifetime of unhappiness. (12:55) * Focusing on lack delays you from having a profitable business. Focusing on how you can get the power back to yourself is finding who you need. It could be a therapist, biz coach or an accountability group of positive minded people. (15:59)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Why is it that schools do not teach us how to own or open a profitable practice? Well, the academic institutions do not have that as part of their requirements for you to graduate. The purpose of the program is for you to become a therapist, not a biz owner. If you want to be a better biz owner— or if you just want to become a biz owner— you have to go look for business ownership programs. That's why people went to business school." (10:31) * "If you do not learn how to take ownership of what you can do and create a profitable lifestyle & abundant business, you will remain on the hook. So what are you gonna do about it? " (15:26)

Wealth does not have to be in monetary form, nor a status living in top-notch homes and owning lucrative businesses. It can also be time, knowledge or wisdom that enables you to make a lasting impact in the world, most especially in your ideal clients.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the rat race; focusing on how we can pay off our home, car, or student loans that we tend to disregard what impact we are actually making that's gonna create a ripple effect years from now. We’re unable to recognize our own gifts and use them to contribute to the world.
Therapists deserve the best of both worlds. Hence, I wanna welcome you to the first special episode of the Abundance Series where we highlight mindset, purpose, clarity and vision for lifestyle and business. We’ll start off by tapping into your history, purpose, and the legacy that you want to leave in this world.

Podcast Goals: * Present an overview on abundant living in order to jumpstart your intentional goals
Episode Timeline: * Through Psychology, Doctor TK was able to gain a deeper understanding of her family members’ behavior and develop an empathy for caregivers, parents and grandparents (03:02) * Majority of Psychology students have overcome certain experiences in their life that in return, they want to help people maneuver through their personal chaos and trauma (04:44) * Wealth is not exclusive to the money that’s in your bank account or investment portfolio. It’s also how you look at time and the lifestyle that you want. (09:53)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "As a human being, what has your journey throughout your life taught you? Because I believe that throughout that journey, you should be working on defining your purpose. And so, I look at the purpose as what your big impact is that you want... To not only make in the world while you're here, but also to leave what you want to the world when you're gone." (06:36) * "Think about your purpose bigger than you. Because sometimes we get so focused and narrow-minded about what we need to check out of our lists; what we need to pay for today; what we need to pay off in 20...30 years, a home, a car or a student loan. But what type of impact are you actually making right now that's gonna create a ripple effect, a domino effect, years from now?" (08:19) * "I look at my intentions as, what are my big goals? What are my goals for my business and my personal life in the next 12 months to 5 years? And how can I be the 1% better Doctor TK everyday, working toward the things on that vision board?" (13:01)
Action Items to Follow up: * Why did you become a mental health therapist? Tap into the main reasons why you choose to pursue Psychology. * What made you want to help people? Think about the purpose that’s beyond yourself, what impact is it that you want to create to the world. * What legacy would you want to leave behind? Reflect on these things: Are you being intentional with what you're choosing to work on everyday? Do you wake up thriving to be 1 percent better than what you were yesterday?

We can manifest our thoughts into reality by just focusing our attention on what we want. No matter how simple or grand it is, manifesting your dreams is indeed possible. But what if it takes years before you get that designer bag, first-class travel, or the business milestone you’ve always dreamed of?
In Doctor TK’s case, it took two years before she finally possessed that one item that’s been sticking around on her vision board. She’s firm in the idea that your money will just know exactly where to go as long as you’re managing it the right way. In today’s episode, she explained how she was able to reach the target “ME” fund which fulfilled her luxury manifestation, as well as her personal encounter with RAS which you'll learn more from the episode.

Podcast Goals: * Learn how to equip yourself with the right energy and money belief that aligns to your manifestation goals
Episode Timeline: * As a fan of multiple luxury handbags, how did Doctor TK decide for a specific brand to put on her vision board? (00:56) * How did she keep on manifesting the item that remained on the vision board for two years? (03:02) * On shifting her focus and allocating funds to obtain the bag (05:26) * The day when her dream bag finally came to life (09:58) * Unboxing session (17:27)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "I truly believe in allocating your money. When you start to pay attention to your money— when you assign your money— your money will know exactly where to go. But I also believe in my Higher Power; when He sees that I'm doing the right things with my money, He will bring me more of it." (03:59) * "Something magical happened... And I attribute this to what's called RAS– Reticular Activating System. I first heard this from Tony Robbins then I started coming up more and more. But basically what this means in layman's terms is that once you shift your focus on something that you want, you will automatically start seeing that thing pop up multiple times because you've already put out energy in the universe that is something that you want to attract in your life." (12:09) * "I asked myself, how did this happen so quickly? And then it came to me: It happened so quickly because not only did you declare that it was already done— not only that you put your energy where you want it at, but you also allocated your money. You told your money exactly where it's going to go. I did have a portion of money set aside for ME fund but I said, attached to that, whatever I am supposed to do with this money, you will guide me. I didn't mention anything about a handbag." (14:08)

Episode Timeline: * What should be included in your vision board? (00:57) * What objectives should you have when creating your vision board? (05:10) * How to create manifestation vision board using Canva (07:44)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "When you think about why you are putting a vision board together, you wanna look at it in terms of energy. What you focus on, you attract. Like attracts like. And so you really wanna be mindful, are you spending most of your days focusing on what you're lacking? Or are you focusing more on your desires— what is it that you want— which are one of the benefits of having a visual stimuli or trigger like a vision board in front of you all day whether it's on your phone, on the background of your desktop computer, and/or on a physical poster board somewhere in your home— you can physically see what it is you want to manifest so that you're automatically putting the energy in the universe to declare that it is already done..." (05:15) * "You want to make sure that the activities that you are engaging in every single day and intentional tasks are exactly in alignment with what you want to manifest." (05:58)

Podcast Goals: * Provide a checklist on how to choose your private practice’s office space
Episode Timeline: * #1 Contracts (00:57) * #2 Physical Building (05:19) * #3 Energy (14:51) * #4 Internal (15:59) * Having 4 offices in the early days of Doctor TK’s private practice (16:48)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Space tips: Something to think about is one, there's room for growth— Maybe your private practice is going to move into full-time but maybe you're just starting. So let's just say if you start off with 1-2 days/week, are there other days available in that same office? Also, can you add on more days? And if you can add on more days, does it need to be approved? Do you just write your name on the physical door... on the back of the door? Do you go to a Google spreadsheet and update the calendar? And also, what are the pay changes as it relates to you adding more days? That is really really important because my experience has been depending on which office I have. The accessibility of the office may change especially if I go from weekdays to morning to evenings, to then a weekend day." (04:28) * "In terms of your space, who else shares your space or the office floor and what is their energy like? Is it welcoming? Do you talk to them in between your sessions? Can you grab lunch together? Do they want to get to know you? Also check out other businesses; in my office we had lawyers, event planners, security companies, different types of attorneys, and CPAs. I literally utilize and collaborated with other business entities on our floor because we got to know one another..." (14:52)

As a business owner, it is your primary responsibility to plan and organize your day-to-day operations. But that doesn’t mean you have to take care of everything from processing your financial statements to answering client calls; doing so would surely result in exhaustion (and possibly, negligence on your self-care regimen!) especially when your business is growing. Thanks to online biz tools and outsourcing, it will be easier for you to oversee what's happening in your organization, focus on matters that concern your whole attention, and make time for your family and yourself.
There’s no use in resisting to delegate your task when it means adding money that you leave on the table. It’s time to decide and prioritize which things you need to get off your plate. So in today’s episode, we'll go through each of the 7 things that you can hand over to your trusted systems or team members so that you can focus on activities that increase your revenue.

Podcast Goals: * Present a list of tasks that you can delegate to a system or outsource to classified individuals in order to improve productivity and focus on CEO activities
Episode Timeline: * #1 Screening your calls (00:54) * #2 Scheduling your appointments (02:04) * #3 Managing your social media (03:03) * #4 Billing (04:05) * #5 Hiring a personal assistant (05:43) * #6 Editing your work (08:45) * #7 Bookkeeping (10:15) * Useful rules of thumb in determining the importance of delegating your tasks (11:39)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “What is a CEO activity? A CEO activity is any task or intentional thing that you are doing in your business that will increase revenue. So on one hand, yes billing will increase revenue because we have to make sure that the billing is being collected. However, if you outsource that and let's just say you were paying someone 15-25 dollars/hour, but you make 150 dollars/hour, that's an awesome delegation because you're freeing up time either to have more time to yourself, to your family, self-care, or you can go and see another client versus sitting behind the computer and actually doing all the billing.” (05:03) * "If our personal life is not in order, odds are our business life will not be in order as well. And a lot of times, we consume a lot of minutes and hours cleaning up our household, doing the laundry, folding the laundry, cleaning up multiple bathrooms. And so you may wanna ask yourself, how can I free up more time if I were to hire someone who can also help me with some personal tasks?" (06:19) * "What you don't measure will not grow. You have to watch your money. You should not wait until the end of the year when your tax person says, can I please have all of your excel sheets or your profit and loss statements, and you either don't know what a profit and loss statement is, or you have not been keeping up because you believe that because you have a business part-time, a private practice with 5 clients a week, you didn't think it was a big deal to keep up with these numbers every single month. If you know that this is asking too much of you, then you can either delegate this out to a system or you could actually outsource it to a person." (10:17) * "If you're spending 5 minutes on 5 different tasks, 5-7 days a week, depending on your self-care regimen (meaning do you really take time off), that does add up to you leaving money on the table. And leaving money on the table is specifically speaking to— you could hire someone for 15 dollars/hour or whatever the price may be based on their gifts and their level of expertise— for you to then go out and make 3 figures when you are spending 2 figures to hire someone probably for tasks that you don't like to do anyway."

Podcast Goals: * Capture Doctor TK’s moments of internal failure to resiliency
Episode Timeline: * Having developed a negative mindset and limiting belief during the EPPP licensing exam (01:34) * Behind the scenes of the third test retake (07:10) * Explaining the fight or flight response— one of the factors for passing the exam with an exceptional score (16:19) * On passing the Ethics exam: How did she utilize her job at the county to practice her skills to make better ethical decisions? (19:58) * What was Doctor TK’s biggest monetary win for getting licensed? (22:59) * What is the relevance of the story to running a profitable biz? (24:07) * Episode recap (31:28)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Anytime that I was exposed to community violence, I would bounce back and go about my day like nothing ever happened. Am I saying that that's healthy? Hell no. But it's also a defense mechanism that has protected my life, my mindset, and honestly my sanity for a very long time." (18:53) * "Are you actually learning from your experience or are you just looking at this experience as a failure because it did not come easy to you?" (25:56) * "It wasn't the school's job to train you as a biz owner. You went to school to become a life change agent, aka become an employee. It's not the school's fault that you were not trained to have a profitable practice." (26:31) * "The more you wait on something to change without you making any moves (meaning moving toward the solution), the more you remain stagnant in your business. And that may equal where you are now in your biz, you have plateaued. You may be making a lot of money in your private practice... but can you truly say that you see all of your ideal clients? ...you get paid your true value with all of your clients? ...your caseload is your ideal schedule (meaning you see your clients only on days and times that you want to) ...and you're actually living life abundantly even outside of your practice by doing what you want even if that includes other streams of income?"

Standout Quotes from Anita: * "You just have to be able to, one, become confident about it and two, be able to say, okay where are my population— where are they? And make sure that I'm focusing towards them and that they will come; they will have no problem paying the fees that I charge." (08:49) * "It was on those things where I had to do a lot of work by myself and saying, Okay what do I need to do, who can I go get help from? And that's when I saw that hold on, there's not that many people in my area that look like me; who could understand what I'm going through, and can help me. And that's where the lightbulb kinda turned on a little bit..." (14:10)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Most therapists say, how can I stand out? It's a lot of therapists that work with women. It's a lot of therapists who work with women of color. But what's going to make you stand out is when you do have to niche it down or be very particular with what their presenting problems are." (15:27) * "When we make a business investment, the goal would be that we consult with the people who are also going to be impacted by our investments because our investment means that we have to put time somewhere else."

Podcast Goals: * Highlight the things to consider before deciding which type of practice to pursue * Present the solution to the biggest fears that stop clinicians in opening their own practice
Episode Timeline: * #1: Where do you want your career to be in 5 years? (01:46) * #2: Why do you want to go into private practice? (03:02) * #3: What is your one-year goal? (04:10) * Common limiting beliefs that hinder clinicians to open their own practice and how to get rid of them (06:21) * What topics are covered in the 3-day bootcamp? (15:49)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Bottomline is, do you want to work for someone else or do you want to explore the real reason why you want to be a biz owner? Take your time. There is no rush. Most therapists operate out of fear vs taking a leap of faith, therefore they do nothing. And so it's your choice. But remember, you cannot get this time back." (13:22) * "Remember the group practice — they’re investing in you not to leave. They're still an employer. They're still an entity. So if they are just maybe training you like an intern, that's different. Before a licensed therapist, they're investing in you on a whole nother level." (15:32)

Standout Quotes from Shaniqua: * "I use WE a lot because I use a lot of collective and inclusive language as part of decolonization. However when I started DTA, I was a solo practice and now I've transitioned into a group practice; we've had our first mental health interns since January and we have new youth and adolescent therapists who will be onboarding by the middle of June.... And I wanna say, 3 months till the end of that quarter when I signed up, I had my first 10K months ever in my life." (14:54) * "Huge win is, I don't have to work a 48-hour/week; I'm still self-sustaining and still have savings. One of the biggest things for me to unlearn is that I did not have to grind to get what I was worth and to earn my life." (21:44) * "Building self-awareness helps our mental and emotional state." (29:38)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Anything is possible but it can only be done if you make the moves. I can give you the map but you still gotta go do it." (17:18) * "If you work with that population— when you mention the word community— you don't even have to start back in the office. You can stay Telehealth but why not make part of your practice in the actual community?" (24:20)

Guest Bio: Nakia L. Roberson is the founder and owner of Next Stage Counseling & Wellness, PLLC. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Professional School Counselor, Educator and Public Speaker. She is also nationally board certified and trained as a Prepare/ Enrich facilitator. She considers it a privilege working with individuals as they discover healing by making the choice to change hindering situations, and gaining clarity through counseling tools, to interpret and respond differently to life challenges.
Nakia’s passion is wellness and relationships. Relationships across all aspects… with self and others. She uses clinically tested and evidence-based interventions to help women and couples in discouraging relationships to rebuild friendship, manage conflict and understand the importance of listening to understand rather than to respond. She believes taking your life to the Next Stage is about intentionality. It’s not enough to wish for healthy relationships, one must take steps to make it happen.
One of her goals is to break the stigmatism in the African American and Christian community of therapy meaning “you’re crazy” or “you lack faith in God”. She says, “Going to therapy is NOT a sign of weakness and it doesn’t mean you don’t believe God has the ability to heal you or your situation.” Therapy is simply a way of gaining clarity and perspective … she wants people to do both, talk to God and go to therapy.
After all, Faith without works is dead, so why not use all the resources God has placed on Earth to receive the healing you need, desire and deserve. Hence, her “I talk to God...and my therapist” merchandise store.

Standout Quotes from Nakia: * "It's not enough to just wish for a healthy relationship; you gotta take the steps to make that happen." (06:46) * "The reason that I'm passionate about it is because working in the school system and working with kids & being able to see the problems that they come in with, a lot of it derives/are coming from their household. And so I believe that working with couples or working with families impact the family as a whole." (11:51)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "At the end of the day, somebody can have all the online courses in the world and if they don't have the mindset of what it takes to take a leap of faith, believe in themselves, have confidence, and see the proof that's sitting right in front of you that we tend to ignore that you can do things on your own, this is how people tend to stand on their way and stay in places where they're not happy." (24:27) * "You can see a lot of progress in a very short period of time if you want it badly enough." (26:18)

Standout Quotes from Chanel: * "I focused on: What are you good at? How have you overcome things in the past? What has worked for you? I really believe in leveraging that. And I think if we only focus on everything that's going wrong, it really builds a sense of hopelessness."

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Therapists are a different breed of people when we are signing up for something because we think too much. And so if I were to, for example, go to every therapist on this planet and say in order for you to be a great and epic biz owner (not just a private practice owner) you need to shift your mindset. Most therapists would say ‘my mindset is fine’ because they associate their mindset being fine because of the clinical work that they do with their clients. But we all know even with therapy clients, it's very hard to sit on the other side of the couch and have somebody mirroring what the problems are." (20:09)

Episode Timeline: * An overview of Laurie and her practice (02:40) * What motivated her to get into the mental health field? (03:17) * What community does she serve in her practice? (05:01) * What would an ideal client expect from their consultation & therapy sessions with Laurie? (06:23) * Aiming to decrease the number of sessions with a client, what is her strategy for them not to be dependent on her services? (11:06) * What feedback does she usually receive from her therapy clients? (13:09) * What was it like to leave her 9-5 job? (17:47) * All about her books, workbooks, masterclass and other streams of income (22:28) * How to avail Laurie's products and services (30:13)
Standout Quotes from Laurie: * "That's one big thing about my practice: We get to the root of things because I cannot counsel or help you through the 40-year-old you when you’re still stuck at the 15-year-old you. So my ideal client is ready to acknowledge and work through the 15-year-old them first..." (05:36) * "Another big thing I wanna highlight is the TRANSPARENCY; that I do not have a co-dependent. That was one thing that stood out to me because I'm like, wow that is a compliment; she's letting me become dependent on the skills that she's taught me and not be dependent on her." (13:36) * "I prayed and one thing He said to me was, you can't teach yourself how to be your 5-year self. You only can go further than you know. You have to make sure that you are surrounded and be in a program with somebody who can teach you the level that I’m gonna take you to, but I've also ordained different people to help you get there." (18:50) * "Everybody in DTA was first of all, mindset-driven and very open. I wasn't used to being around a lot of women who are open to sharing their mistakes and their growth. We built relationships and guess what, it was people that were in the game for 10 years, 5 years." (20:29)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Therapists can only help them based on what information they're choosing to share. This is why some clients, I think, help de-stigmatize mental health because some people think we're psychic. Yeah we can read your body language, we can assume or try to guess what you're thinking but you still have to correct us. And so in order for somebody even to go through your 'acronym', they have to be willing to be vulnerable to open up because you need to hit all those 'pain points' and clear out their baggage." (09:47) * "I do believe that all of us have our framework or theoretical orientation, but what stands in our way at times is us devaluing ourselves as a provider, not understanding the impact that we have because, let's be honest, we're not taught in business or even follow-up with the client when we're done to see- like a customer survey or life satisfaction. We have to be very creative." (12:20) * "Therapists, don't depend on a questionnaire because a lot of the feedback that you're getting is every single day when you meet with the client. The fact that they showed up should be feedback no.1." (15:02) * "The goal of building streams of income in your business is not to go and create 7 different businesses. You're not supposed to create 7 LLCs. What you should do is that you utilize your expertise and that is technically the top of your stool." (26:56)

Treatment and care for mental health-related issues are provided in a variety of settings. The environment, and level or type of care, will depend on multiple factors.

That’s why in today’s episode, you’ll be provided with high-level information on the 5 levels of care for you to implement into your private practice. You’ll also learn how to establish a thorough conversation with your clients when certain referrals are needed to be made. This episode is good for mental health providers but also potential clients that would like to seek treatment.

Podcast Goals: By understanding the 5 levels of care, you will be able to:
- Increase caseload with your ideal clients
- Set your clients up for success
- Ensure that you provide a quality and effective treatment
Episode Timeline: * How was Doctor TK first introduced to the 5 levels of care? (01:39) * What are the 5 levels of care? (03:14) * How can understanding these levels improve your practice? (07:45) * A case study on the implementation of levels of care in her private practice and conversing effectively with either a potential client or current client (13:44) * How to have a smooth transition with a client who needs to go a higher level of care (22:27) * Episode recap (24:45)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "You want to make sure that when you communicate to this client about a potential need to up level their care, you want to express empathy and you also wanna validate their emotions. It is not fun to open up your Pandora's box to a therapist and then you have to switch to a different therapist." (18:52) * "Another thing to consider is that because maybe your availability does not match the need of this client at the time, you just wanna make sure— I cannot iterate this more— walk them through the process. Do not just simply say, because your symptoms are getting worse I have to refer you out. That sounds like abandonment. So you want to give them psycho education about why the referral should and/or in some cases, needs to be made." (21:56)

Podcast Goals: * Understand the proper steps that need to be taken before deciding to create a waitlist for your private practice
Episode Timeline: * Myth #1: Therapists should not have a waitlist because clients need to be seen right now (01:57) * What happened when Doctor TK was able to move her ideal clients to her waitlist during her maternity leave? (04:01) * Myth #2: Sitting on a waitlist can make clients' symptoms worse (08:35) * A preview on the topic of building a waitlist on your practice being brought up on the DTA Coaching Calls (11:04) * Myth #3: Therapists cannot abandon clients and put them on the waitlist (12:45) * Episode recap (15:22)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "A better quality question to the myth of ‘Therapists should not have a waitlist because clients need to be seen right’ now is, ‘How can I attend to potential clients’ needs while on my waitlist?’" (02:25) * "What information are you providing to the potential client to explain your waitlist process? Because if clients don't understand the waitlist process, we don't want them to get a misunderstanding of a) We're the therapist already when we're not, and then b) Should they be waiting or should they be doing something else?" (08:40) * "An individual becomes your client once they say yes to you being their therapist; and they also sign the consent waiver along with any other policies, procedures, and forms that you have. And even after that, they need to show up to the intake session." (13:20)

Do patients respond better to remote treatment? Is there a risk of losing your caseload as we move our practice in the virtual space? How do we balance Telehealth & in-person visits?
In the midst of the pandemic, health care services are often delivered via virtual video or phone visits. This has been very valuable as it improves access to quality and cost-effective services. Nowadays, COVID-19 restrictions have been eased across different states, allowing in-person visits and driving providers to mix both Telehealth and in-person treatment.
In today’s episode, we examine the important things to consider before making an all-or-nothing decision in terms of moving your practice back to your office or just going for a hybrid setup to know what works best for your patients.

Podcast Goals: * Bring in higher levels of profitability in your business and life
Episode Timeline: * What is a Financial Psychologist? (02:57) * Why is it important to understand our relationship with money? (05:37) * How the power of the mind manifests in your life (09:54) * Investing in yourself (12:16) * On the concept of mastermind & how it leads to higher chances of profitability (19:41) * Marketing consistently to acquire clients (23:37) * When to prepare your exit plan (25:29) * Connect with Dr Rosche (31:07)
Standout Quotes from Dr Rosche: * "You can have an abundance of money that's coming in but if you have not figured out the right type of habits around your money, it will go out as fast as it comes in." * "As mental health professionals, it's so important— especially for those who are still in school and getting started in their private practice— to learn how to manage your money while it's small because it's hard to unlearn that behavior." * "The concept of mastermind is to be around other people that look like you, that have similar foundations as you but they're doing better, they're growing in a different way. And so it helps you to say, well I wanna grow; I want to continue to grow." * "I would say I struggle in it. I'm being real. But this is the reality: We must market consistently to potential clients on a regular basis. You want to be on the top of peoples’ minds once they're ready to make a move." * "Think about your exit plan but even you start to think about who's gonna be the other coaches for you in your business; who's gonna be the other therapist in your business. Because that means you get to remove yourself from it. You'll get the freedom of time but money is still circulating through your business."
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "The words that we choose to use will dictate how money comes to us." * "We like to externalize the blame as to why we can't make enough money in our business and in our job. But what energy are you putting out there in the universe to be able to attract that thing right back to you?" * "There's a whole lot of people who do what you want to do; but the question is: Are they successful? What is their definition of success? Coz they may not match yours." * "Delegation is key but don't just stop at delegation. Also look at the vision that not only you're fulfilling for your business but that you're also fulfilling for somebody else's life."

I hope that's motivating you to build your business the right way.” (13:00) * “I think that part of the problem is that when people are looking at larger assets, you are being turned down because you are looking at your income right now instead of turning on the thinking cap of ‘What can I add in terms of revenue-generating activities in my business but not burn myself out where I can save up to put the deposit down... where I can have consistent income to pay that mortgage... and you should do the same thing for a car and anything else that you want including business coaching…’” (15:43)

Podcast Goals: * Understand your money narrative to break the barrier that’s kept you from growing your business
Episode Timeline: * How does this topic relate to a therapist’s ability to grow their biz? (01:06) * Being taught from positive reinforcements and other external environment (05:22) * Being taught about who you can ask for help (11:35) * Being taught about saving money (16:03)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "You really want to ask yourself who first introduced you to money, how did they introduce you to money, and also how has that tapped into your money narrative. What is a money narrative? That is the way that you view or see money right now." (09:30) * I don't believe that you need to be in hustle mode to make good money. You don't always need to be on the grind. You don't always need to fill in the gaps on a calendar so that you don't have any white space because that leads to burnout. (13:11) * "One of the things that I want you to think about is what did your family share with you or didn't share with you that you have to fill in the holes in terms of saving money? Maybe your family is similar to mine in that they’re so focused on saving money that they don't really talk about how you spend money- How do you shop for a car? How do you shop for a home?" (18:14) * "When it comes to pricing your products or services, it really boils down to how you value yourself, what you think you're worth." (21:16)

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Wealth is you actually using your gift and your skillset to showcase your expertise. You will also get paid for it because that increases monetary wealth. So what is a gift? A gift is something that you're good at, it may also be considered your niche." (02:50) * "Beyond tangible things in terms of wealth, ask yourself what does wealth mean to you? One word that comes to mind for myself is the word TIME. Time to me is a definition of wealth because I can literally do what I want, when I want to do it." (14:42)

(04:22) * Can this tool be applied in your business? (10:17) * What’s in it for you when you pay attention to the value of a product/service for your business? (12:52)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "One of the biggest things that she taught us in that program is that you also don't know what you're missing until you're exposed to it; and then once you get a taste of it, you’ll more than likely want more of it and that's exactly what happened." (04:03) * "I am giving this example of us thinking big— taking something that we learned and testing it out and then being able to manifest something even if it is tangible. The reason why I believe that we were able to manifest this item is that our mindset was in alignment with what was possible. Instead of us going into a store and automatically associating even the name of the store with 'expensive items', we started telling ourselves literally within 5 minutes that we can afford anything in this store if we wanted." (09:26) * "Check your words. Because the words that are coming out of your mouth are very indicative of the outcome or the manifestation that you will or will not have, which means that you are technically blocking yourself from reaching that next level of abundance. You are your biggest threat to manifesting the career and lifestyle of your wildest dreams." (11:18)

(01:57) * "If you don't have the right circle, you're not challenged. If you don't have the right circle, there's no room for growth because no one in your circle can teach you anything new; no one in your circle can potentially hold you accountable because they're expecting for you to hold them accountable all the time, there's no reciprocity. There's no one to push you." (06:26)

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "Make sure that you're not overloading yourself with too much information because sometimes we sign up for things not recognizing how it will directly help us - help our mindset - help our profitability in our business, and we simply just sign up for stuff because everybody else is doing it, everybody else is trying it. And that's not what I recommend you to do." (06:18) * "Once you make the decision to win, you will actually start showing up differently because your confidence will come alongside you." (11:42) * "If you wonder why your business is not profitable, it's because you're not showing up with the mindset of the person that needs the results; because just like exercise, repetition is what massages the muscle. Repetition is your ability to be able to come back and get the information and implement it and apply it right away." (18:08) * "Check the way that you ask questions. You have to have a higher quality of questions, per Tony Robbins, in order to get a high quality answer. So if you change the way that you're asking yourself questions, you will actually find that you're getting better high quality answers." (24:33)

Podcast Goals: * Learn to be accountable for your mistakes & failures that aligns to growing and scaling your business, breaking that 9-5 mindset
Episode Timeline: * #1: “What procrastination taught me back in highschool” (04:46) * #2: “How ego kept me attached to my 9-5” (09:45) * #3: “How my mindset was shaped to a whole new level after being exposed to personal development & business coaching” (22:44) * Bootcamp rules, guidelines, & topic overview (42:13)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "My mistakes have really shaped my ability to learn; I've actually learned from some of my mistakes when I left my 9-5 job. But it's also helped me grow in my business because I've had to recognize that in order for me to go to each level, there are going to be failures. And my mindset now is that I am looking forward to training day." (03:45) * "Don't think that you've secured the bag all the way because the bag can always leave." (07:33) * "If you have to bet on you, you always bet a bet that you would win." (14:13) * "Stop blaming; instead of blaming, you want to look within." (19:24) * "Personal & intuitive development is very key— that is 80% of your business success." (20:15) * "You should probably take a moment and reflect on how other people see you, especially if they look at you like you’re sitting on a pedestal; because it would be problematic for you if you cannot see how other people see you as such a higher level." (21:48) * "One of the mistakes that people can make when looking for their business is that — you may be looking for a coach just to keep you stable on your current level. The purpose of coaching is to move you toward your ultimate vision, not stay at your current level." (25:09) * "I have taken numerous online courses, but what was missing was my MINDSET. So if we link this back to accountability & leaving your 9 to 5, it is your mindset. If you wanna link it to your pricing, it is your mindset. If you wanna link it to attracting your ideal clients, it is your mindset. It is not the clients not coming. It is not God punishing you. It is not that you’re not valued; you don't value yourself! It is all mindset." (30:37)

(10:47) * "I came from a baby boomer family... you may as well. They told me to stay at a job because it has benefits. These are the things that were conditioned in my brain as to why it took me so long to scale in my business." (19:19) * "As a parent, a caregiver or a big brother/sister, look at kids around you: Sometimes we get upset when kids like to take risks and yeah as a parent it's scary, but at the end of the day it's not something that you actually want to remove from their psyche, from their ego because that's going to determine how open, flexible, spontaneous, or scary that they are when taking leaps of faith as an adult." (22:32) * "You're not going to move to the next level if you continuously focus on what you're lacking vs what you want. If you focus on what you desire, what will happen is you start to attract those things to you; the world works in a state like a magnetic field." (37:00)

If you’re looking for a sign on how you can follow through and carry on with your pending goals, then this episode is for you. Welcome to the 2nd part of Doctor TK’s abundance hacks series where she tackles the ways on how she was able to manifest almost all of what’s in her vision board despite COVID’s impact towards her travel goals.

Is coaching an investment or an expense? On our tax form, we clearly look at it as money going out. However, there’s a need to look at it from a different perspective, which is: Are you getting something back out of it?
In today’s episode, we’ll examine how coaching is a must-have investment for you and your business by going through a set of questions to monitor certain areas that need to be considered right now for your private practice.
If you need help with any of the areas that are highlighted in the podcast episode today, then the Dope Therapist Academy is the right fit for you. Learn more about the program’s framework by visiting https://www.doctortk.com/dta
Podcast Goals: * Highlight why coaching is an investment vs an expense
Episode Timeline: * Topic intro (02:01) * To ponder #1: What is your desired outcome for a private practice, or another stream of income? (02:34) * To ponder #2: What has been your progress to accomplish that goal in your business right now? (03:08) * To ponder #3: What do you need help with to either fix your private practice/mental health business or move to the next level? (04:45) * To ponder #4: What do you need to learn to become a better business owner? (05:43) * To ponder #5: What mindset shifts do you need for your business to grow?

In these uncertain times, you might not be able to afford a lot of things. However, saying “I can’t afford” may have a negative connotation; it puts you in a passive position and means you’re not in charge.
In today’s episode, Doctor TK will take us to a series of questions to reflect on in order to determine if those are truly the right words that you want to send out to the universe in terms of your inability to afford something right now.

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “You need to get a clear picture of your business pre, during, and post pandemic. If you do not get a grasp on where you have referrals coming from, where your clients go after, how long your clients stay in your caseload; how the hell are you predicting your yearly income?” (12:12) * “An ideal private practice—a profitable one—is when you have a caseload of all of your ideal clients... not just the clients that call you, hit you up on email, go through your DM, or are referred by insurance panels and you just swoop them up just because they called you... that is not an ideal client. That is not a profitable practice. Nor is a profitable practice one where your goal is just to fill in the white spots on the places on your calendar that you have open.” (15:54) * “If you're a floater and you have no framework of your entire practice, that means your bank account will continuously float, meaning you do not know at any given point where you're going to land.” (32:27) * “There's a difference between a good therapist and a good clinical supervisor.” (46:01)

Scaling your business means to continuously grow your numbers and revenue while working less. Doing everything by yourself won’t lead to your business’ growth or scalability as it demands a lot of effort and time, which often results in burnout.
A lot of therapists who have a private practice simply redesigned a version of themselves being an employee at their job. The employee mindset is being brought to their business. That is something that has to be unlearned. In today’s episode, we continue the topic of time management habits that block profits, specifically on taking off the cape by learning how to delegate your tasks accordingly.
Remember, this is the prime time for you to build a profitable framework instead of slaving away your hours just to get paid by the hour and live check to check with no profit at the end of the month or year. If you're ready to build or upgrade your private practice the right way, visit the Dope Therapist Academy at https://doctortk.lpages.co/dta-march-2021/.
Podcast Goals: * Learn how to be most efficient with your time by understanding the difference between working in your business vs working on your business
Episode Timeline: * An overview on today’s topic (00:58) * What does ‘working in your business’ look like? (02:27) * What does it mean by ‘working on your business’? (04:12) * Evaluate Yourself: Which type of business owner are you? (07:37) * After you’ve evaluated yourself, what’s next? (09:49)
Are you ‘working in your business’? Or ‘working on your business’? * Are you working your ideal amount of hours per week in your private practice, including other streams of income? * With that ideal schedule, are you seeing the clients that are on your vision board? * How do you delegate a task to at least one person so that you can use more of your time to be creative and deliver the services? * Are you continuously seeing growth in your service numbers and bank account while working less?
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “If you're only saying yes to your ideal client... then that is a goal of working on your business, because that means you've created some type of structure working on your business so that you're not putting in too many hours in your business and you're still having profit.” (05:38) * “You now have time because you've delegated tasks to create content, to add value to your business, while simultaneously seeing profits and deposits in your bank account every single day, week, quarter, and so forth.” (07:23) * “My definition of working less is yes, you're still seeing the clients but you're not doing the other 10 hours+ a week to work in your business by making sure everything runs smoothly.” (09:05) * “To open up a private practice does not automatically make you a business owner.” (10:49)

While it may seem challenging for two family units to blend into one, there are great benefits to a blended family as well: Children have the benefit of two caring parents to act as role models, financial and emotional support is available for all family members, and new siblings may connect well with each other, forming greater bonds with new brothers or sisters.
However, both parents should be responsible to possess certain qualities and enact their roles in order for the benefits to take effect.

Don't believe that they don't have any emotions; just because you ride on a wave and you're fine with it doesn’t mean that they are. And even if they are irritable or upset, they have the right to not feel good about the parents maybe not getting along. Always remember that they have an emotional response." (18:34)

Podcast Goals: * Understand the value of listening to your intuition and the community you serve
Episode Timeline: * Doctor TK on planning her second retreat for 2020 (01:34) * What was the theme of the 2020 retreat? (03:41) * A week after the waiting list was opened, no one else had signed up.

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “After about a week, I realized no one else has signed up. And I'm not going to look at, ‘Oh they don't want it’, instead I'm gonna turn within. As a business owner, I would highly encourage you that if something is not working in your systems or you're not getting clients—for example in your private practice, going to your landing page, or going to your online store—instead of making a negative distorted statement, why don't you look at how you've presented your product or service?” (05:13) * “Sometimes you may think about it in your past: Has there ever come a time where you want help coming up with an answer and no one is available? Instead of thinking about, ‘Gosh no one is available for me’, why don't you think about it as, ‘Maybe this is a decision that I really need to make on my own?’” (08:08) * “Listen to your intuition with what questions to ask and listen to your community.” (09:53) * “A beta program is the first group or cohort of people that you have; you want to utilize the feedback that they give you to implement it for the next group of people that's gonna join over the next quarter or month, that you are adding content—let's just say to a membership course portal—so that you can make the user experience more friendly." (10:29) * "If you really want to serve your community, you really wanna slow down, listen, and ask questions in terms of what will help them reach their transformation?" (12:43)

When you’re informed of a last-minute cancellation on your hotel or restaurant reservation intended for a special event, how would you react? Would you cancel the whole event or move it to another venue?
In Doctor TK’s case, she faced not only one, but two cancellations on the venue she chose for a retreat that’s gonna happen in 60 days. But because of her clear mission to connect with her audience on a deeper level, the barriers didn’t stop her from moving forward and making it happen. Join us in today’s episode as we witness how many roadblocks came in Doctor TK’s way before it led to the success of her first-ever retreat that also resulted in the birth of her Elite Coaching Program.
Take a snapshot of this episode and tell us what adversities you encountered that led you to a prosperous moment in your life!
Podcast Goals: * Recognize how unforeseen changes can be manifestation in disguise
Episode Timeline: * Doctor TK talks about her purpose on hosting her own retreat (01:21) * What things are covered for her to decide for the price points of the event? (02:37) * A potential venue was found on Airbnb that would house 11 people (03:04) * When the deposit was about to be put down, the estate disappeared (04:15) * On to the second prospect venue, Doctor TK explains why she uses her title when booking an accommodation and why the number of attendees have to be reduced (04:54) * An email was received from Airbnb informing that the second location had to be cancelled. Doctor TK encourages reading the fine print to be aware of the cancellation policy (07:11) * When she finally found an official venue for the event, the retreat is now exclusive for 2-3 persons (10:03) * Doctor TK shared how the event set the tone for her ability to work in groups in live settings on a whole new level (12:33) * What were the activities set up for the retreat? (12:59) * The event led to the birth of her Elite Coaching Program (14:32) * What's coming up in the next episode? (16:07)
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “When you throw an event, you have to look at all costs whether it be some surprises that of course I had, staff that are helping you out, other activities, food, and lodging.” (02:44) * “Sometimes you are faced with adversity whether it's in your personal life and/or in your business or honestly, in this pandemic; and you may be given a sign—and you take that sign as giving up when you're right at the tipping point. But because you can't see the other side of the mountain—which is pretty much your next level of prosperity and abundance—you choose to stop, give up, and say you know what, maybe it wasn't meant to be. And that's simply not true because I believe that everything does happen for a reason—sometimes you are at the location and people that you're supposed to be with, anyway.” (09:03) * “Now I knew going into that program that I really wanted to have a one-on-one coaching program, but that was my opportunity to also test myself out to see how much I had grown in my coaching business—to be able to give these women the opportunity to also get one-on-one time with me.” (14:35) * "I really loved that all the obstacles and the barriers that came up really showed me that you should not give up. And just because you see changes happening, just look at the world that we're living in today, maybe it can be manifestations disguised based on your actions. It also showed me that I need to enter into this new year and become very unstoppable." (15:44)

And now to date I've used that office a total of 3 times. It feels good to know that I have a space to be able to offer my services in somewhere where I can meet my clients in a comfortable space where I also know the management because that's literally the sister office to the office that I have in California.” (16:38) * “I do believe that the universe gives you signs and ideas, and it's more about what you do with them—are you going to execute the ideas or are you just going to entertain and allow them to just stay on a to-do list?” (18:58)

Walt Disney World is truly a magical family travel destination in which, according to many, is the happiest place on Earth.

In today’s episode, she will share how she was able to manifest her luxurious travel using the scripting method and one more hack that results in more manifestations coming through. You will learn to tap into what you really want to become, let go, and leave it to the universe to do its work.
Make sure to check out Richard Dott’s book, “It is Done!” to learn more on how to apply a powerful manifestation tool in your life: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1519125429/?ref=exp_doctortkpsych_dp_vv_d
Podcast Goals: * Utilize the manifestation hack that Doctor TK applied on her first-class travel to Walt Disney World with family
Episode Timeline: * Doctor TK took manifestation seriously during her Coaching Program w/ Manifestation Expert, Dr Stacia Pierce. Within the first year, what was she able to manifest? (00:50) * Learning from Arianna Pierce’s Manifestation Prompts and Props, Doctor TK shared about her goal card and how she planned for the trip (03:08) * Unable to find great deals for the trip, how did she eventually let go of the How?

Just believe that it's already done.” (06:10) * “I then realized that the amount that would be the difference to upgrade the seats to first-class were half off the price than they originally were.” (09:49) * “I also just got very excited to see what confidence boost can happen when you upgrade your life.” (12:31) * "It brings joy to bring joy to other people, but it also felt really good to know that as soon as I actually figured out a way to let go of the How. I focused on just living my life because I've already put it out in the atmosphere that this is what I wanted, it came to pass. So, if you're questioning how to move through and maneuver through manifestations, it's probably because you're blocking your manifestation from happening which is why it's not happening." (15:49)

In this episode, Doctor TK shares her testimony on how she was able to manifest opportunities in her business during her Mastermind event in Atlanta and how it relates to her scripting.

“I’m not gonna buy this 2020 is cancelled thing”, a statement by Doctor TK upon facing mishaps beyond her control in the earlier months of 2020. Being a prime example of successfully growing her business during “rough times”, she believed that this era is the time to prove to ourselves what our true purpose is.

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * "What I decided to do during that time is honestly just observe and pay attention — Some people were walking around saying, ‘2020 is cancelled, 2020 is not my year, 2020 sucks!’ I'm not about to buy into this 2020 cancelled; I do believe that every time something significant occurs in our universe, this is our time to prove to ourselves what our true purpose is." [03:22]

"Impact came first; money as a blessing always came second. My goal was to touch more lives — I recognize during this season that people's jobs were not promised even as an essential mental health provider." [08:57]
-
“If you are a therapist, in graduate school, or studying for your licensing exam, you are an essential provider. Not to discredit them because they're doing a phenomenal job, but sometimes when we look at essential workers, we only look at medical providers in a physical hospital. I want to turn everyone's attention to anyone who's serving people in the community: that can be the ministry, pastor, priest or bishop in the church; that can be mental health providers, teachers, social workers — You are an essential provider whatever your title is. You are essential because you are continuously pouring in to our communities to make sure that they afloat, regardless of what's happening with you as well.” [09:10]

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * It took me from 2009 to 2014 to just say YES to investing in myself; not investing in a coach per se but investing in what the coach has to offer me to scale my business. Then in 2014 to 2017, after I invested, I saw what was possible like, “Whoa! I can do all this?! It's so hella poppin'!” But my message to you, if you're trying to figure out if you're a red, yellow, or green lighter is: Where do you see yourself a year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now? And do you want to take 10 goddamn years— I don't ever want a clinician to take 10 years after they've met me; they may take a year to sign up with me for coaching coz they may be listening to my podcast or showing up to IG live, that's fine, but I created my coaching programs to help shortcut them because I never want someone to make the mistakes that I've made. [19:10]
-
Take a mindset shift. If you've said the following: “I'd rather be safe than sorry, I'm good, I don't wanna invest in coaching”, well let me ask you, how far has that really gotten you? Because I know for me, it's put a cap on my income, a cap on my schedule, and honestly it's led to burnout! So let me just tell you: SAFE = STUCK. If you don't learn how to take a risk, (because success is really on the other side of risk) you actually won't even know what your full and true capacity is because you're so goddamn scared! So if you don't learn how to take a leap of faith, you're actually not hurting you. You're not hurting your kids, partner, or parents, you're actually hurting all the people in the world that you were designed to impact! [21:04]

The key difference between growing vs scaling your business is that scaling is achieved by increasing revenue, money, cha-ching, bags, without incurring significant cost and more time in your business. [22:06]

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “It was because I was working at the juvenile correctional facilities that I started to receive a lot of referrals in the community for adolescents that nobody else wanted to work with or deal with, unfortunately. That led me to doing workshops, so I’m kind of weaving in streams of income if you notice. Because I was referred to a kid from another therapist that wasn’t a good match, and I was doing therapy, I started getting multiple referrals for the same type of kids but then I started paying attention to my caseload. My caseload had an underlying commonality which was that a lot of them were getting prepared to go to college, potentially moving out of their parents’ home and none of them were prepared to become an adult. Now luckily for them, this is something that I was teaching my clients in the jail system coz they were exiting out as adults now.”[09:14]
-
“Another thing that I did as far as strength is, remember I said I like to work with couples, conjoined therapy. So, what I did as another stream of income is I saw a need for structure for my couples clients to go through, for example, premarital services and communicate on a mature level. So, what ends up happening is that birthed my first book.” [12:45]
-
“From working with clients, seeing a commonality with what their needs were, I started to create multiple streams of income like groups, books, workbooks, workshops, and then I started to be invited on certain platforms to speak.” [14:01]

That’s actually a requirement in my coaching programs. I NEED YOU TO GROW.” [15:40]

-

-
What is offered by Doctor TK’s newly launched Elite Coaching program? [21:07]
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “I see a lot of people, in all different types of industry per se under the coaching umbrella, that see something has worked for them and then they go out there, they offer something as a coaching package, but then they recognize that their clients are not growing. And sometimes as a business owner, we tend to externalize the blame onto our clients but really, we should first be looking at ourselves; What are we not doing to deliver the deliverables to our clients?” [06:32]
-
“We really have a big component of like ‘report and relationship building’ and I want my clients to be able to trust me and believe in me that I’m gonna be there for them to help them build, brand, and market their mental health business, especially their private practice.” [14:24]
-
“I know as a business coach, I can’t please anyone especially in terms of the structure of the way that my programs are developed. But I try my best to do a very good job with laying everything out in masterclasses and webinars I do that lead up to the Dope Therapist Academy program launch. I also put up everything on my website that’s all year round so that people can get on the waitlist.” [18:06]
-
“The reason for me creating this was because from a lot of my one-on-one clients going into an actual structure for 6 months with me, I recognize that they were missing one big thing: community. They wanted to talk to other therapists that were doing something similar of what they’re doing but on their level, whether it be mindset, wealth mindset level, and scaling; not just ‘I wanna grow a private practice’ but scaling meaning, you’re leveraging your time, you’re hiring people so you can do less and make the same amount of money. So after two years of fine tuning my one-on-one coaching, I’m happy to say that the Elite Coaching Program is now accepting applications and we’re expanding the program for 2021.” [22:18]

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “I’ve taken my time in my coaching programs to ensure that my clients understand how imperative it is as a mental health professional how much of an essential provider they are especially during this season.” [01:55]
-
“In my 1-on-1 Elite Coaching Program, the clinicians have been able to take such a quantum leap of faith in their business that literally within 30 days, I had four therapists (not requested by me) who actually left their job — Simply because during the busy season, before the era that we currently are living in, they weren’t paying attention to their business. They weren’t paying attention to their metrics and numbers; how much money was going in, how much money was going out. Then all of a sudden when they joined my program, after I made them look at their numbers as a part of creating their 5 to 10 year blueprint for their business, a lot of them were like, ‘What the heck?’ I could have been left my job if I would have known how much money I was really bringing in.” [02:33]
-
“I really believe that in order to reach your goals, you have to be in alignment with the vision that (I’m gonna say) was low-key created for you. I’m a spiritual person, I believe that all of us have a particular map that was already pre-created for us. It’s just a matter of having found your map (aka your purpose)” [03:42]

“One of the ways I believe that a lot of therapists are sleeping on is creating a product that you can then turn into another stream of income.” With the holiday season fast approaching, many of us are looking for ways to take advantage of the holidays to generate an income. As a mental health therapist, do you know that you can curate a digital product which can prime your potential clients in order to get them prepared for your services?

Tune in as Doctor TK shares a lot of pointers and tools to help you develop your first digital product.

Episode recap [17:02]
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “One thing you wanna think about in terms of digital products is: What is something that you’re probably giving away for free?” [1:53]
-
“Be very creative about how you’re giving out contents. One of the ways I believe that a lot of therapists are sleeping on is creating a product that you can then turn into another stream of income.” [08:32]
-
“Remember that you can service people who don’t live within your state with an e-book. You can also service people who may come to you, maybe they’re your ideal clients with their characteristics but due to the time or what they’re going through personally, they can’t pay for your services. So, could you guide them of course to go find another therapist? YES. But in the meantime, (because that may take them some time) you may also be able to offer them your e-book; that can be a digital download, or something that they can get right away. And in the meantime of them searching for a therapist, they could be taking your tools and using them on themselves.” [10:05]

Have you already considered one-on-one coaching suitable for yourself? You may have already done your self evaluation after listening to Episode #90 “When is 1:1 Coaching a Great Option?” and whether you’ll reinvest into coaching, take part into another level of coaching by learning more passively, or taking up a notch and getting a 1:1 access to your coach, you may first need to shift certain mindsets which absolutely slow you down to reaching your goals. For instance, just because of these mindset blocks, Doctor TK only received 10 times her money back from the program she’s in, when she could’ve gotten 30 times more! Learn more by tuning in today’s episode.
Podcast Goal: * Highlight 3 mindset blocks to avoid while signing up for a coaching program.
Episode Timeline: * #1: Adhering to Strict Timelines (Tip: Prepare to find out there’s a lot more to learn than anticipated. When results can’t be seen or felt from the program, what should we ask ourselves before quitting?) [01:27]
-
2: Having a “Done For You Service” mindset (Tip: Think of your business as any national sport, what is expected from the coach and its players?) [05:27]
-
3: Not asking questions for clarity (Tip: Before signing up for coaching, you may want to ask these important questions.) [06:57]
-
An overview of the Elite Coaching Program [12:55]
-
Episode recap [14:26]
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “Don’t quit. First assess. Did you do all that you could do in the program to get what you needed out of it? Did you assess the actual program to make sure that they can give you what you needed? Did you really know what it is that you needed?”
- “We as a coach are supposed to give you a map. We also give you ‘the how’, but you’re supposed to execute it. You don’t hire us as an employee of your business. You hired us as a business coach to coach you how to do the job.”

One-on-one coaching benefits you in a lot more ways including a stronger support for improving specific skills or framework tailored for upscaling your business.

And so just like in an insurance panel for EAPs, you can actually own your application form, put [I only want to see these age group, or because of my specialty area with anxiety, I only want to see clients who are battling with anxiety, trauma, OCD, anything in the anxiety spectrum, for example]” [03:32]
-
“If you haven’t been doing consultations, even if you don’t take EAPs, I would highly suggest them so that you can provide psychoeducation related to your framework of how you do therapy.” [05:53]

“It does take a different skill set to do the short-term therapy compared to long-term therapy.” [06:16]
-
“EAP really has given me the ability to assess all the different dynamics within the family and then provide clinical recommendations once EAP is done. And if they choose to stay with me as a provider, then they can.” [08:33]

Welcome to the third and final part of Doctor TK’s Triple P Formula Branding series! In the first part of the series aired on Episode #66 about “Product”, we focused on assessing who your ideal client is and what transformation you want that client to have with the type of products or services you want to offer.

In the second part of the series aired on Episode #67, we talked about “Profit” where we are addressing what actually our client is getting.

Standout Quotes: * “Back then, I looked at who is offering what I offer within a 5-mile radius because most of the time, that’s how couples determine who they’re gonna see of who was closer for them to drive to. In the era that we’re in right now, the digital world, we can offer everything online and we always could…” [03:52]
-
“When I say packages, you wanna look at what they’re offering, how they’re offering it, and the frequency if you can find out what their prices are. A lot of these things are actually very much on their website on Psychology Today, and other public websites or online directories.” [05:53]
-
“I always tell clinicians, especially nowadays, Think outside the box- Can you offer your service online beyond counseling? Are there supplemental materials that you even want to offer to your clientele whether it’s included in their package or maybe in upsell, meaning they want to buy your book or buy your online course in addition to what they’re already participating in.” [08:57]

“This is the area that is missing the most for mental health professionals because we don’t go to school for this, we didn’t learn this in grad school of how to highlight value.

“I teach them how to identify their ideal client, how to make a profitable blueprint for the trajectory of their private practice business for at least minimum 5 years, we talk about automating systems such as processing online payments including online products or services, and then we also talk about delegating task and how do we grow your business over time and of course, expertise.” - Doctor TK talking about what she teaches on her Dope Therapist Academy [14:14]
-
“You want to understand how you earn the revenue in your business because the goal would be, now that I have this book, I can now just wake up and see that I am making money in my sleep. That is the true definition of, to me, wealth, because I’m getting my time back but I’m still having my business earn money.” [14:48]

Standout Quotes from Doctor TK: * “If you are attracting older clients in the geriatic field and/or those who are not computer literate or computer savvy, then it may not be a good fit for you.” [03:59] * “You want to take into account how much EHR systems charge per claim because that means more overhead added to your bill. All these EHRs do not include claims, you have to pay like 25 cents per claim / 10 cents per claim, etc.” [11:47] * “If you plan on adding clinicians/interns to your private practice in the next 6 months, look at how much the EHR's charge is per clinician because that will also increase the price for your claims.” [13:47]

Standout Quotes: * “We, literally, are the average of the people that we surround ourselves around. And in each season of your life, you wanna take a step back and look at who actually has an influence on your mindset, business decisions, progress on your career, on how you look on your family and the things you want to accomplish to leave a legacy for your children for example, and any of the areas on your life including health and wellness” [0:16]
- “If the average of your circle makes $40,000 and you’re sitting here talking about I want to make 6 figures, I want to make 7 figures, I want to make a quarter of a million, how exactly are you supposed to do that when people around you don’t have conversations about making six figures or they’re not intrigued to learn how they can make 6 figures.” [09:11]

-
“The whole purpose of self-care is to recharge yourself, to press the restart button. This is why you want to engage in self-care every single day.” [10:25]

Doctor TK is a big advocate for time management and productivity. She has been implementing these strategies with all of her clients on therapy, thinking that they may not be able to follow through on their homework activities if they do not carve out time to take their mental health seriously.

“Why are we embracing the COVID19 era when we should’ve been focusing on our transformation after COVID19?” Inspired with her daily journaling, Doctor TK has thought of an idea that would help us transform our mindset and achieve prosperity by applying the concept of S.M.A.R.T goals. Since Heavenly Vision Church has dedicated the whole month of May for the Spirit Month celebration along with Mental Health Awareness Month, Doctor TK has suggested it would be a good idea to encourage people to create their own vision board. Got some ideas of what your goals are and how you can tick them off your board? Join us as we share with you how to establish your goals and get creative with your vision board. Interact with the community by showing off your accomplished work. Most importantly, be guided with the free downloadable workbook prepared by yours truly.
Covered in the podcast are the following: * Learn how to apply the S.M.A.R.T goals in manifesting your dreams * Get creative ideas in making your own vision board, both manually and digitally * Have access on our free downloadable workbook to guide you on the contents for your vision board

Standout Quotes: * “God did not create me to fail, God created me to prosper. So, why am I thinking that I cannot live abundantly?” - Doctor TK
-
- (On manifesting your travel goal) “Don’t look at your finances in terms of budget per se. Look at your finances in terms of how much more money do I need to make in order to go to the destination I want and then how long will it take.” - Doctor TK
-
- “Before you start getting into trying to make your vision board manifest, you really wanna sit down and think about what you want to go on your vision board: “What are my goals going to look like for the next 12 months?” If you do not do that, your vision board will remain a dream board and you will not be able to potentially reach all the goals on your vision board” -Doctor TK

“When you want to serve everybody, you will serve no one.”
As clinicians in the digital age, we have a unique opportunity to take advantage of both active and passive incomes. Passive income is important for growing your mental health business and there are specific tactics you can use that work well. Some tactics seem obvious, but others are more nuanced for particular audiences.
On today’s podcast, I want to introduce you to a phenomenal psychologist located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They have a private practice and a business called Therapist Refresher. Therapist Refresher provides free meditations to support therapists in their work, as well as free Monday Mantra emails with inspiration and resources to the public. In their ideal lifestyle over the next two years, this particular clinician wants to maintain a part-time private practice doing psychotherapy and consultation and through the Therapist Refresher to offer several online courses that generate Passive income.
Within this podcast, I will break down the difference between Passive and Active Income. I will also help generate ideas and best practices for marketing online video courses, and provide examples of things you can do right now to target your ideal clients online.
Coaching Session Goals:
- Understanding Passive and Active Income
- Learn How to Incorporate Videos into your Business Model
- Learn How To Market To Your Ideal Client
Episode Timeline:
- [00:02] Intro
- [00:53] Licensed Psychologist with Private Practice and business called Therapist Refresher
- [02:10] What is Passive Income vs. Active Income?

- [08:40] Identifying Your Ideal Client
- [09:23] Polling Your Audience
- [10:22] Dope Therapist Circle and Dope Therapist Academy
- [11:16] Outro
Stand Out Quotes:
- [03:42] “ What videos are you doing right now on other platforms so that we can, what I call ‘release the curtain’ and let people see you...a lot of mental health providers don't like to get on the camera, but yet we want clients to show up to our video course in a video course. There has to be pictures, there has to be videos, a mixture of audios.” - Doctor TK
- [09:10] “If you say, I want to market to everybody, always remember that when you want to serve everybody you serve no one...When you want to serve everybody, you will serve no one. You have to hone in on your target group even within the target group.” - Doctor TK

After we graduate and get licensed, so many mental health professionals don’t know how to start their business. They want a lot more regarding their legacy and there is a desire to go beyond the therapy room with their skills.
Today’s podcast will feature a Licensed Professional Counselor that provides mental health home therapy to individuals and their families with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are suffering from behavioral and mental health crises in the state of NJ. In their ideal lifestyle, they would like to be working full time in their private practice, coaching other mental health professionals, provide workshops to schools and other organizations in the community, and focus on their second book. This clinician is having trouble getting started and feels stuck.
Listen in as I share exactly how to develop a vision plan for your business and easy ways to begin reaching your goals. I share my personal strategies for getting started and tips about finding the right coach and courses to generate multiple streams of income.
Coaching Session Goals:

- [04:15] “Ask yourself, if you were not getting paid to do that stuff that's listed on your list, would you still do it? ... if you're not in love with what you're choosing to do long term, you're going to fall out of love with it. And this is why a lot of businesses don't thrive. This is why they don't grow because the business owners themselves, because I've been that business owner before, we're all over the place.” - Doctor TK
- [05:42] “ Once you hone in on what you really want to do, then ask yourself what do you need to learn and who can help you shortcut through that process... I would say start with getting help from someone who's done what you want to do.” - Doctor TK

Description:
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m covering a very important topic that is not always addressed in everyday life. Today, I will discuss PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) and trauma. A common misconception about trauma is that you have to experience war/combat in order to experience trauma. This is simply not true. We can encounter trauma in so many different ways, and traumatic experiences are not limited to the battlefield.
By the end of this episode, I want to help you understand what PTSD is, what can cause it, how to recognize it, how it can manifest, and review some real-life examples from my past. So many people may not know or recognize when they have been exposed to trauma throughout their life. My goal is to help clear that up. Be sure to listen to the entire episode and hopefully you can walk away empowered, with a greater understanding.

Description:
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect people all over the country, millions of us are experiencing Grief and Loss on a massive scale. This pandemic is a completely unique event that is very difficult to navigate. People are truly in their feelings, and no one really knows how to describe what they are going through.
Thankfully, there is actually a psychological explanation for dealing with this kind of emotion. Today, I will talk about the 5 Stages of Grief and Loss specifically during COVDI-19. I will help you understand all the stages and figure out what stage you might currently be in.
Unlike other psychological theories that occur in a specific order, meaning you can not go to level three unless you made it to level two and processed what you needed to go through. With the 5 Stages of Grief and Loss, you can actually bounce around and experience the stages in a different order than expected. By the end of this podcast you will be able to identify your own Grief process and I will provide recommendations for treatment if you are someone who needs more help.
Therapy Tuesdays Goals:
- Understanding the Grief and Loss Cycle
- Identifying The Stages of Grief You Have Experienced
- Learn How to Seek Treatment During COVID-19
Episode Timeline:
- [00:02] Intro
- [00:43] Real Life Grief and Loss Example 1
- [02:10] Two Types of People Experiencing Loss
- [02:23] Stage 1: Denial/Shock
- [04:52] Real Life Grief and Loss Example 2
- [08:10] Stage 2 and 3: Sadness & Anger
- [09:41] Real Life Grief and Loss Example 3

- [12:50] Stage 5: Acceptance
- [13:32] Real Life Grief and Loss Example 4
- [14:36] Recommendations and Referrals for Treatment
- [18:42] Contact Information
- [20:08] Closing Quote
- [21:49] Outro
Stand Out Quotes:
[04:52] “When we mentioned grief and loss and mental health, myths of grief and loss do not have a timeline. And what that means is some people may be in the shock, denial stage...everybody can go through grief and loss differently. “ - Doctor TK
[12:30] “ I'm here to tell you that yes, you should go get help, especially if it's impacting academic performance in school, occupational functioning. If you're currently working even from home and or in the field and, or if it's impairing your relationships with family or friends or loved ones, meaning your tolerance is a lot shorter and now you're causing arguments for no reason, then yeah, you may want to go talk to somebody.” - Doctor TK
[13:32] “Acceptance is not forgetting. It's accepting the fact that you've processed this loss and that you're accepting that it's another chapter waiting for you. And you have to decide how you want to live out that chapter.” - Doctor TK

I dive into what she can do to use what she already has to expand on her income and offer practical recommendations for self-investment. Hear my advice for branching out and creating an online course as a therapist and getting clients for your counseling business. Also, find out how you can make the most of your existing ideas and projects while creating value for your clients.
Coaching Session Goals: * How to promote and market a book. * How to develop several streams of income including online courses. * Ways to identify ideal clients and have them invest in your business.

Standout Quotes: * “Our clientele or the community or whomever we are expecting opportunities from— they will not invest their time, and or money into us if we don't one, understand our value. Two, we don't know what we want to do as far as helping...and most importantly we constantly have to invest in ourselves.” -Doctor TK [03:16] * “We have to think about ourselves in the mental health field... what are we doing to invest in ourselves to increase our quality?” -Doctor TK [07:52] * “If you don't wanna be out of the loop- you have to be part of what's happening right now, meaning you have to be in the know. You have to constantly educate yourself.” -Doctor TK [09:10]

Therapist Profile:
Highest Degree: Masters in social work (Intern)
Location: New Jersey
1 year from today I want: “To write a book for other social work students who didn’t consider it as a first choice and the opportunities available in it. I want to create a podcast/YouTube page/ expanded social media. I also want to optimize my future career choices within school social work”
What’s Holding Me Back: “Self-Doubt, feeling unqualified, having the right guidance and clarifying what I can do that will set me apart.”

TIP #1
Youtube Versus Podcast
- Research shows that search engine optimization is leaning more toward video marketing, 82% to be exact.
- It would depend on your audience and what they prefer
- If you like making video content, YouTube is your best friend
- Finding podcast listeners may take more time and effort versus a video
- Could you do both?
TIP #2
Mindset
- You are only as unqualified as you believe that you are
- What you speak becomes your reality. Start to focus on what you want and who you need to become in order to reach those goals
- Start with a vision board and break that down into quarterly goals.
- Select one project to work on at a time
- Be intentional with your routine daily and make sure that you are working on your project each day
- Surround yourself around other positive people that want to see you win
