Prospering in Private Practice Amidst a Pandemic with Megan

Megan provides couples therapy in Lancaster, PA - especially premarital counseling for the spiritual but not religious, millennial and Gen X couples seeking new models for relationships, couples in remarriages/blended families, and individuals or couples in ministry.

She shared with us her journey from Ministry to private practice while still being of service to racial and social justice. Megan’s business is thriving despite being pre-licensed and working through a global pandemic, and she is learning to thwart her burnout, too!

5 Awesome Social Media Resources for Therapists

Have you ever run into the store for 3 quick items only to get lost in a maze of poorly marked aisles or items tucked away on end caps? It is frustrating to know exactly what you want, and what you need- and not be able to find it! 

This week as our Spring 2015 bootcampers are completing their JumpStart program, several of them are already scheduling clients from a few simple exercises on LinkedIn- without paying a dime for ads, or doing anything crazy.

Therapists & Social Media: Fear, Connection, and Rejection

Kelly Higdon, LMFT and I (Miranda Palmer, LMFT) just got back from meeting with an awesome group of therapists at the CAMFT 2013 conference. Actually, it has been a little over a week since we returned. 

And guess what, I am still inspired! This is one of the great benefits of networking- making real personal connection and creating a community. 
Kelly and I tried something a little different this year. We have been making some awesome connections with therapists on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter- and the CAMFT Community boards- and we wanted to find a way to translate that into the personal connection.
