Business Of Therapy

Are you a therapist that’s dreaming of your own 6-figure practice and all the freedom that comes with it? You’re asking yourself questions like “How do I build a business?”, “Do people really get private pay clients from Instagram” and “How can I scale beyond therapy?”  You’re in the right place.  Welcome to the Business of Therapy Podcast. Here you’ll find honest conversations about what it truly takes to be successful as a therapist— the good, the bad, and the ugly all included.  You’ll hear actionable advice for filling your caseload, best practices for growing on Instagram, and so much more. I’m your host, Kelly McKenna. I left burnout and nonprofit work behind to start my own private practice and ended up earning $250,000 my very first year. On this podcast we’re diving deep into the strategies that have worked for me and the thousands of therapists I’ve helped. Together we’ll navigate burn out, master your money mindset and boundaries, learn how to fill your caseload with Instagram, and more!  I’m a licensed therapist with my MBA, but you don’t have to go to business school to build a successful practice. I’ve helped many of your favorite Instagram therapists, who started just like you, grow private practices they truly LOVE. I want you to be my next success story!  Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!

    20. When Should You Raise Your Therapy Rates?

    I’ve got an important question for you… When’s the last time you gave yourself a raise? Like...actually raised your therapy rates because you’re really freaking good at what you do?? You work very hard, and I know that you’re a therapist who cares about your clients. In order to be the best for them though, you must prioritize yourself. You deserve a business that will not only give you job satisfaction, but financial security and freedom, too!  In today’s episode, I’m answering the question ‘when should you raise your therapy rates’. I want to share some different scenarios with you, because I know this won’t look the same for everyone. I hope this episode inspires you to raise your therapy rates in 2025. I would love to hear how you plan to do it, and please know, I’m ALWAYS cheering you on!! In this episode, I cover:  Why you need to set yourself up for success BEFORE seeing clientsGiving yourself an annual raise, even when you’re happy with your current ratesWhat to do when you ‘undersold’ yourself, but need your business to be sustainable Connect with Kelly: Follow on Instagram @businessoftherapy and @sitwithkellyCheck out the Business of Therapy website Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!

    14. The Exact Things I’d Focus on if I Was Starting Over on Instagram

    I started with ZERO followers. I’ve grown both of my Instagram accounts from 0 to 10k in under a year. It took a LOT of trial and error as I was growing my first therapy page (@sitwithkelly), and I for sure made my fair share of mistakes. All of my hard work and consistency helped me have an ‘easier’ experience with my second page.  I’ve learned sooo much along the way, but I’ve also been an Instagram therapist for 4 years now! If you’re a brand new therapist on Instagram (or even if you aren’t), I don’t want you to compare your journey to mine. I want to share with you 9 key things that I would focus on, if I was starting over as a new Instagram therapist. Some of these items will take you more time than others (especially in the beginning). But...as you learn, you’ll get better and faster over time.

    13. The #1 Driver of Results in My Business

    In today’s episode, I’m talking about the number one driver of results in my business. If I had to sum it up in one word, the number one driver of all my results in my business has been CONSISTENCY.  Consistency probably doesn’t mean (or even look) the same for everyone. I do believe that it’s crucial if you want to continue growing your private practice though! Consistency allows you to build trust and deepen relationships with your community, and get realllly good at one particular thing. At the end of the day, showing up consistently on Instagram NEEDS to be a priority. This is the way you’re going to succeed in your business, and make more of a lasting impact with your ideal client!  In this episode, I cover:  What consistency looks like for me in MY businessReasons why consistency is so important in businessWhy showing up on Instagram consistently needs to be your priority + ways to do thisWhy you need to get really good at one thing before adding MORE to your plate Connect with Kelly: Follow on Instagram @businessoftherapy and @sitwithkellyCheck out the Business of Therapy website Related Episode:  Episode 11: Big Instagram Growth Minus the Burnout Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!
