    191. The Top Things Every Therapist Should Know About Website Project Management

    If you've ever thought, "Just build me a website," and assumed it was a straightforward process, this episode is for you! Daniel is joined by Paula Allera, Private Practice Elevation's own project manager, for a behind-the-scenes look at what really goes into website project management.  With a background in web design, development, and digital marketing, Paula brings a rare blend of technical knowledge and operations savvy that helps keep projects on track. In this conversation, Daniel and Paula unpack the often-invisible side of website development — from estimating timelines to handling revisions and communicating with multiple stakeholders.  You’ll learn why timelines can shift, how a single project can involve dozens of communication touchpoints, and why having one main point of contact can save weeks of time.  Paula shares the tools she uses to create realistic projections (including the beta distribution method) and why even the most well-planned projects need buffer time. If you're planning a website project or currently working with a web designer, this episode will give you the insights you need to be a more prepared and empowered client.  Understanding the process isn't just helpful — it can actually speed things up and lead to a better result. Key Takeaways: Project timelines aren't guesses; they're calculated using a formula that considers best- and worst-case scenarios, plus client responsiveness. Revision requests should be thoughtful and consolidated — too many small changes can create delays and affect other projects. Website drafts are not the final product. There's a process in place for revisions, pre-launch QA, and ongoing post-launch edits. Technology limitations (like device compatibility) are real. Perfecting a site for every screen isn't realistic or necessary. Communication can quickly become overwhelming when too many people are involved. A single point of contact streamlines everything. Every project is an opportunity to learn. Paula shares how documenting "lessons learned" helps improve outcomes over time. Whether you're launching your first website or your fifth, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to navigate the process smoothly. 🎧 Listen now to get an inside look at how to set your next website project up for success.

    190. Keeping Your Practice Compliant—Without Burning Out Your Team with Tiana Kelly

    Many therapists in private practice want to run a solid, ethical business—but the idea of “compliance” can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even downright scary. Between HIPAA requirements, proper documentation, and ever-changing policies, it’s tough to know what you don’t know… and easy to put it off for another day. In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation Podcast, Daniel Fava sits down with Dr. Tiana Kelly to demystify compliance and make it feel manageable—even if you're just getting started. Tiana shares how she built the compliance program at Move Forward Counseling (with over 60 therapists!) and now helps other private practices do the same through her consulting business, Private Practice By Design. You’ll learn why compliance is not a one-time checklist but an ongoing process—and how to prioritize the most important changes without overwhelming your team. Tiana also explains: Why “go slow” is key when rolling out compliance updates The biggest mistakes she sees practices make (and how to avoid them) What therapists really need to be trained on from day one How to build a culture of learning, accountability, and ethical care Whether you’re a solo therapist or running a growing group practice, this episode will help you think more clearly about compliance—and feel more confident taking your next step. 🎧 Tune in now and learn how to protect your practice without burning out your people.  Key Takeaways: Start slow, go steady: Trying to overhaul everything at once can lead to staff burnout. Prioritize the most urgent needs and build from there. Train early and often: Don’t assume new hires know your expectations. Provide clear, specific training on documentation and HIPAA best practices. Stay curious: Compliance isn’t a “set it and forget it” system. Keep learning, stay updated on regulations, and be open to evolving your protocols. Don’t do it alone: Whether you’re a solo practice or a large group, there’s support available—from trainings to audits to 1:1 consultations.

    SUMMER ENCORE: 106. What Content Needs to Be On My Therapy Website to Be Successful?

    In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, we’re going to talk about your website content and specifically, what content and pages need to be on your website in order for it to be successful. Most therapists would agree that they need a website to market their private practice online and help them gain clients. The problem is that most private practice websites lack the proper pages and content to make a big impact on the business. And it’s this lack of content that is one of the biggest things I see holding back most therapists who want to get organic traffic and clients using their therapy website. I see it often when I perform website audits or coaching calls… the website just doesn’t have enough content to resonate with the ideal client and allow Google to pick up the website and rank it high in search results. So, let’s talk about your website content and make sure you have what you need in order to hit your goals for online marketing. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: How to define what makes your website “successful” and how knowing this can help you make important decisions with your online marketing The content and pages that I recommend as a bare minimum for a therapy website in order for it to be effective A basic sitemap for a therapy website for those who are just getting started How to expand your sitemap over time in order to improve your search engine optimization and get more organic traffic in the future This Episode Is Brought To You By Alma is on a mission to simplify access to high-quality, affordable mental health care by giving providers the tools they need to build thriving in-network private practices.
