Side Hustles For Psychotherapists

HI, I’M MARISSA, AND THERE IS SOMETHING I KNOW DEEP DOWN IN MY BONES

Empathy and success do not have to be mutually exclusive.

You can show up for your clients and show up for yourself at the same time.

I think it’s a bit unfortunate that our profession pigeonholes us. That if we’re interested in pursuing something other than doing therapy, we’re somehow “bad therapists.” Add to this, that many of us are called to this field and wouldn’t know who we were without our helper identity.

But I wholeheartedly believe it’s this outlook that’s setting us up for failure. There’s a mass exodus from our field because therapists are too burdened and too burnt out.

But what if there was a better way?

A way to be an amazing therapist and have a lighter lifestyle. To value helping others and cultivate financial, time, and even location freedom for yourself. It’s totally possible!

 
 
 

I’M GONNA GO AHEAD AND BE BOLD HERE AND SAY YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO TRANSCEND THE THERAPY ROOM.

See, a great online course, group coaching program, or membership site is simply a different container for the skills you already use on a daily basis. All you need to do is isolate a single problem with a future focus and devise a plan to solve it. It’s literally the mirror image of what you do day in and day out in session.

If you are brave enough to sit across from someone when they are in the deepest pain they’ve ever felt in their life, you totally have what it takes to create an online program.

Too often, therapists forget about all the other ways their education and expertise can help people. They get so caught up in doing therapy, that they start to believe their value only comes from the work they do with their 1:1 clients.

So, what ends up happening is clinicians pour everything the have into their caseloads or even scale to group practices because they dream of more but don’t see a way to grow their businesses outside of session.

That, or they simply bury their desire to branch out. As if, wanting a thriving practice and another income stream makes them less of a dedicated helper.

 
 
 

That’s where I come in 

As a licensed counselor with a business background, I’m devoted to partnering with fellow therapists to help them chase their non-clinical dreams – even when they’re reluctant to stand in their entrepreneurial truth. 

 

I’m passionate about bringing my two loves together: strategy and relationship, to help my therapeutic community thrive in the online space. It is seriously one of the most important aspects of my life to help other therapists realize that all of the work they’ve done to build their careers so far can be translated into something new and exciting.

My mission is to help clinicians in various stages of change create business plans that get them closer to their goals. Whether you want to add a little bit more revenue to your bottom line, scale back your caseload, or leave the field altogether, you don’t need to go back to square one to build a bigger business. Your experience is enough!

When you invite me on your entrepreneurial journey, you’re partnering with someone who takes your license, your practice, your ethics, your goals, and your dreams into consideration. You’re hiring a guide who was a therapist and knows the ins-and-outs, ups-and-downs of online business. I promise to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Maybe for you it’s like this

Space Holder

Perhaps you have a great idea for an online program. Or, you’ve got so many ideas you don’t know where to start. You wholeheartedly believe you have a lot to offer the world and you know there’s a bigger impact to make than what you can do with just your caseload. But you have no clue how to take what’s inside your head and translate it into an online offer that’s going to help others and make you money. NO SWEAT! I’ve got a signature strategy that will help you hone in on one type of offer, pinpoint the specific people you want to help and the problem you’ll help them solve, develop a curriculum to deliver results, and figure out what to charge. So you can package up what you love most about what you do in session and sell it outside of the therapy room.

Side Hustle

Or, maybe you’ve already got a good hunch about what you want to do, but you need grounded guidance to actually make it happen. You know there are a lot of different roads to an end result and you want to work alongside someone who will point out all the shortcuts and detours that are bound to come up. Plus, it wouldn’t hurt to have some accountability along with your strategy. YOU’RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE! Side Hustle is like a master checklist on steroids wrapped up in a caring family. And when you join our family, you’re committing to the personal growth that makes your online business dreams a reality.

Grow your business and yourself
 

Ultimately, your entrepreneurial dreams are your own – and they are totally achievable! I can’t wait to walk along on your journey with you.
