A therapy intensive can be one of the best ways to work with new clients when your private practice is full and inquiries keep rolling in. Most therapists default to a waitlist or refer people out, but this third option could seriously increase your monthly income.
In today's episode, I talk about how one of my clients used a therapy intensive to convert a consult call into a same-month booking, without the potential client feeling disappointed or misled. I share the exact language you can use on a 10-minute consult call to present a therapy intensive as the obvious best fit, why your energy and attitude when delivering this information matters more than you think, and what happened when my client implemented this strategy the very same day I coached her on it.
If your private practice is full but your inquiries aren’t slowing down, this episode will completely change how you think about your next consult call.
