Therapist Thoughts

As I mentioned last month, using twitter is a great way to reach a larger audience and give a glimpse of your personal side to potential clients. It is also a great way to network with others in your field.

This month, I want to focus on some of the details.

First of all you want to create an appealing ‘home’ page. You can choose to use one of the designs that comes with your account or I recommend that you check out many of the free services out there. Here is one with tons of background options www.twitterbackgrounds.com. Choose something that fits your personallity.

One of the keys to a successful therapy practice is being congruent.

Does what you believe match with how you live, treat others (including your clients) and how you handle your life online? If they met you in person would they see you as they see you online? These are things that potential clients will pick up on. As clients become more aware of the options available to them for therapy, it is vital that you not only come across as someone who can help, but also someone who is real.
