Here's the truth: therapists make incredible marketers. 

You already sit with people in their most vulnerable moments. You understand their fears, desires, and dreams. You're naming what someone feels and showing them a path forward. That's marketing at its CORE!

But where do we get stuck? The language. Clinical terms work for notes, but not so much for Instagram. I want to help you shift this so you still feel confident in your messaging AND are connecting with your dream clients!

In today's episode, I'm talking about how to stop talking like a therapist so your marketing actually converts. Regardless of your specific niche, you can adjust your messaging so people resonate and know YOU'RE the one to help them when they're ready!

In this episode, I cover: 

  • What client-forward (aka client-facing) language actually means
  • Why shifting away from clinical language can feel uncomfortable for therapists
  • How to tell if your clients really know or use the clinical terms you’re sharing
  • Real examples of turning therapist jargon into relatable, client-centered messaging
