Networking is one of the most underrated (and coolest) parts of being a therapist online! And no, it’s not about being salesy, awkward, or “schmoozy.” It’s about building REAL relationships with people who share your values + care deeply about their work!

As an Instagram therapist, you will have people reach out who aren’t in your niche, aren’t in your licensed state, or are looking for something you don’t offer. This is where a strong referral network changes everything!

When you know and trust other therapists and helping professionals, you can confidently refer clients out. They’ll do the same for you, so it’s totally a win-win for everyone involved!

In today's episode, I'm talking about how to build strong referral relationships and network with private pay therapists.

In this episode, I cover:

How to intentionally find therapists you resonate with on Instagram
Other helping professionals to include in your referral network
How to reach out and build real relationships
What to talk about on networking calls + how to lead with connection first
How to confidently send a warm hand-off that supports both the client & therapist
Simple ways to nurture referral relationships long-term
