Description

In today’s digital age, social media has become an essential tool for therapists to obtain clients, build their business, and expand their professional network.

But this tool also comes with many challenges such as balancing the benefits of social media with the ethical standards, legal regulations, and boundaries we must uphold as clinicians.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen many cases where clinicians misuse their social media platforms, tarnishing their hard-earned reputation and undermining the work they’ve put in.

That’s why I’ve designed this training to give you the tools and insights you need to navigate social media effectively, without compromising your professional integrity.

With over 70k followers and growing across my social media platforms, I’ve dedicated the past eight years to teaching therapists how to ethically harness social media. My mission? To help you expand your reach, amplify your impact, and boost your income - all while staying true to your values. Let’s navigate the pitfalls and leverage social media to align with your professional mission.

In this training, you’ll learn how to:

  • Align your social media presence with your professional values and expertise
  • Ensure HIPAA compliance on social media
  • Strategize on building an authentic online presence
  • Maintain ethical standards online
  • Confidently navigate legal regulations
  • and so much more!

So take the next step toward mastering social media as a clinician!
