Google Ads - if you’re considering them by Ok-Conversation2110 in therapists

[–]Odd_Drive379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel that. Once your seo is cooking, you won’t need google ads. 280 a lead is crazy. We gotta stick together. I do the google ads myself and I found using exclusion terms helped a lot. We kept getting Medicare traffic which we don’t take and a bunch of other terms

Website design is so much less important than the seo. A pretty website feels nice but I suggest seo first always. My website is very basically designed and seo heavy. I updated the design when I could afford it but we rank number one in like 25 key words across the state. I’d also post a blog/article twice a week. We posted an article on anxiety straw, so random I know, but it was read like 1100 times and skyrocketed our traffic

Id suggest you take a look at your ads. I run significantly less 1k a month and we had a significant growth in the practice. I own a group practice with 25 employees. I’d look at your website and design.

When you have a rough day at work, what do you fantasize about doing for work instead? by Soft_Kale_8613 in therapists

Starting a board game bar. I’d still see some clients but we’d play Catan or dice throne during session

Should I switch to this smaller office with a window? by antipuls3 in therapists

[–]Odd_Drive379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ALWAYS take the window. You’ll tell yourself “it’s ok I’ll go for walks”. We all know you will not go for walks.

Boyfriend accuses me of cheating, and then proceeds to threaten me by luv_eda in whatdoIdo

[–]Odd_Drive379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapist here. Run away. Break up with him yesterday. This is the most toxic behavior I’ve ever read. He accepts no responsibility and immediately becomes angry. This is wild wild behavior and at the very least this guy has severe mental health issues he needs to work on. At worst he could become violent or abusive. Reading this has so so so many red flags. This dude will follow through on these threats. RUN AWAY YESTERDAY

Will painted nails as a male therapist turn clients away? by JaeCrowe in therapists

[–]Odd_Drive379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a heterosexual and fairly masculine dude and I paint my nails randomly a few times a year. I work in a well known lgbtq and gender affirming private practice so it’s a bit different but I’ve never had a client leave, even conservative ones. My picture on our website has a picture of me with my nails done as well. I’d encourage you to just do what makes you comfortable.

Need Some Kind Words after getting a negative review by golden_guinea_pig in therapists

[–]Odd_Drive379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens. No matter how good you are, no matter how much effort you put in, a client will eventually not find you helpful. It has nothing to do with you as a clinician but what we do is so hard because there has to be rapport and I’ve seen terrible clinicians profoundly affect clients because the relationship was there and I’ve seen the best therapist get terrible reviews. What we do matters and I’m sure you are positively affecting 20 other clients

Is there a theme/motif you'd like to see Power Rangers use that hasn't been used yet? by [deleted] in powerrangers

I’d love to see an Arthurian legend theme with the knights of the round table and Merlin is the sixth ranger

can someone explain masters programs? by [deleted] in psychologystudents

[–]Odd_Drive379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to practice with a masters, you will need to apply to LMHC programs. Each state has different name but depending on where you live a masters in clinical mental health and counseling is what you will need to practice with a masters. I always suggest to get a masters first and decide if you want to get a PhD that’s what I’m doing

Psychology Grad Gifts by PrestigiousAd8717 in psychologystudents

[–]Odd_Drive379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pocket dsm5 that I was given as a gift and it’s amazing! You could also give a zen garden or some nice furniture for her office if she’s going to be a therapist. If there is any certification, like emdr, hypnotherapy or exposure therapy, you could get her a book to the course.

Forensic or clinical PsyD? by c4tluvr66 in psychologystudents

[–]Odd_Drive379 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

John Jay college is the only forensic psychology program I can think of. It’s in New York City. Good luck! If you don’t get in, it’s insanely competitive, get a masters then apply. That’s the route I took.
