Thanks to Rhett Smith, LMFT of Auxano Counseling in Plano, Texas for submitting this fun virtual office tour. I am definitely stealing the idea to mount Lexan plastic on the wall for genograms and illustrations - brilliant! Also, love the symbolic tree painting and that chunky rug. Very clean, light and inviting office space.

I felt calmer just watching this office tour by Ashley Eder, LPC. Ashley does a great job conveying a serene setting and amazing mountain view. Angel, Ashley's therapy dog makes an appearance in this video too. Watch for the darling accent pillow on the therapy couch. I want those. Thank you Ashley for sharing your office with us.

What impressed me most about this video tour is Shannon P Overland's amazing play therapy room. I think it would be difficult to get child therapy clients to actually leave the session! I bet a lot of play therapists will envy Shannon's set up at her private practice Overland Child and Family Services in PA. Thank you Shannon for sharing your beautiful presence and amazing office with us.

I've had an amazing response to my call for therapists to let us peek inside your office by submitting a virtual office tour video. It's been so fun to see inside the waiting rooms and offices of other shrinks. I never realized how many therapists shop at IKEA! Our first virtual office tour is the office of Peter Hannah MA LMHC, in Seattle, WA. I love Peter's video because his warmth and genuineness really comes through on the video. And I have to admit that I am SO jealous of his view. Water is amazingly therapeutic. Thanks Peter for letting us peek into your office space!

I recently had the opportunity to interview Nicole Bonsol, a writing, branding, and graphic designer for healers. She helps therapists create an inviting and powerful website and best craft their message to engage with their viewers. I was fascinated at what Nicole had to say, especially because of her unique role in the process of helping clinicians reach their audience. Here are some highlights of our discussion:
As therapists in 2016, we understand that having a functioning, informational, and attractive website isn’t just a good idea-it’s a necessity. But if you’re just starting out in private practice, it can be intimidating to build one from the ground up. How do you design your home page so a user can easily navigate and find what they need? How do you present information in a way that isn’t overwhelming or too “busy”? What’s the best way to make sure your content is mobile-friendly? And even when you figure out the answers to these questions, how do you make the vision in your head actually become reality on a website?
As healers, we genuinely like to do our work. Guiding clients through the therapy process and seeing them make progress is why we do what we do. But if you're in private practice, you know there's a lot going on in the back end and that it's crucial to run an efficient and organized business.
