Therapy for High-Achieving Clients: How to Support Wealthy and Driven Individuals with Ryan Forbes, LPC | counseling wealthy clients | therapy for executives | athletes | marketing private practice

In this episode of The Therapy Show, I’m thrilled to chat with therapist Ryan Forbes, who brings a unique perspective on working with high-achieving clients. Yung Sidekick, an automated note-taker for therapists, is offering a special promotion for listeners! Use the code LISA20 to get 20% off your first purchase with Yung-Sidekick. Here are some of the key points we dive into: Understanding High-Driven Clients: Ryan shares what he’s learned about the unique challenges faced by wealthy, high-achieving clients—like confidentiality concerns, fear of failure, and the drive to always maintain success.  Unique Therapeutic Needs: Many of these clients feel isolated and struggle to find safe spaces for personal issues since most of their relationships are work-related. Ryan emphasizes that confidentiality is crucial in building trust with this demographic. Therapist Bias: We discuss how therapists may unintentionally bring biases into sessions with wealthy clients, often because these clients don’t fit into typical therapeutic frameworks. Ryan shares ways to overcome these biases to better serve this group. Scheduling Flexibility: For clients with intense, unpredictable schedules, Ryan explains the importance of adapting therapy hours to meet their needs, even if it means unconventional session times. Premium Pricing Strategy: Ryan explains why it’s essential for therapists to consider premium pricing when working with high-net-worth clients, as they often gauge value based on the level of investment. Marketing to a Niche: We talk about Ryan’s new course, The Pursuit of Success: Counseling Highly Driven/Highly Successful Clients with Confidence, which teaches therapists how to reach this unique clientele with effective marketing strategies and business insights. This episode is packed with insights for therapists interested in serving high-performing clients.  Plus, you can earn 1.5 continuing education contact hours by taking Ryan’s self-study course, which covers both the therapeutic techniques and business strategies needed to succeed in this niche.  Click HERE to learn more about the self study course and see the learning objectives.

How to Rewire Your Brain with Positive Self Talk with Lisa Mustard

How to Rewire Your Brain with Positive Self Talk with Lisa Mustard

In this episode I explore the transformative power of positive self-talk and its impact on mental health and emotional well-being. I dive into the nuances of nurturing a positive inner dialogue while cautioning against the pitfalls of toxic positivity. Before jumping into the main topic of this episode, I address a few listener questions: 1. How can you and I work together? 2. What are my intentions for 2024? 3. What podcasts do I listen to? I emphasize the importance of our inner dialogue in shaping our perception and experiences. I distinguish between positive self-talk, which is about facing challenges with a learning mindset, and toxic positivity, which invalidates genuine emotions. I provide a practical exercise based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles to transform negative self-thoughts. The exercise involves identifying negative thoughts, labeling them as unhelpful, providing evidence to the contrary, thinking of an opposing viewpoint, and editing the thought to be healthier. I walk you through an example to demonstrate this process, showing how to shift from self-doubt to self-empowerment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in enhancing their emotional health, understanding the impact of self-talk, and seeking practical strategies for personal growth and mental resilience.

How to Set Intentions (Not Resolutions) for a Fulfilling 2024 with Lisa Mustard

How to Set Intentions (Not Resolutions) for a Fulfilling 2024 with Lisa Mustard

Hi everyone, it's Lisa Mustard here, welcoming you back to "The Therapy Show." As a podcaster, mom, wife, licensed therapist, life coach, and a personal development junkie, I'm thrilled to guide you through setting meaningful intentions for 2024. This episode is all about leveraging mental wellness practices for counselors, their clients, and anyone eager to level up their emotional health. I've also got a special treat for you – my free ebook on supporting mental health. This January, I'm switching things up by releasing more episodes than my usual weekly schedule. These episodes are packed with actionable tips to help you live your best life. Remember, not every tip will resonate with everyone, and that's okay. The idea is to pick what works for you and put it into action. Now, let's talk about setting intentions for 2024. Unlike resolutions, which often focus on specific achievements, intentions are about aligning our daily actions with our broader life values. I'm a big believer in alignment and living an authentic life, and that's what I want to share with you. Here's how we can set our intentions: 1. Reflect on the past year – think about your successes, challenges, and the lessons you've learned. 2. Identify your values – figure out what's truly important to you. 3. Visualize your ideal year – this helps in creating a clear mental image of what we're aiming for. 4. Set clear and realistic intentions – these should be based on your values and the vision you've created. 5. Create an actionable plan – break down your intentions into daily, weekly, or monthly steps. 6. Practice mindfulness – it's essential to check in with yourself and see if your actions are aligning with your intentions. 7. Be kind to yourself – remember, the journey is as important as the destination. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, it might be a good idea to reach out for support. Whether it's a licensed therapist or a life coach, getting help can be a game-changer.  Ready to level up your emotional and mental wellness?

Boys and Mental Health: Combating Anxiety and Depression in the Digital Era with Lisa Mustard

Boys and Mental Health: Combating Anxiety and Depression in the Digital Era with Lisa Mustard

In my latest episode, I explore the critical issue of boys' mental health, drawing inspiration from Jonathan Haidt's research. (Find the article here.) I delve into the significant shift from physical to digital activities since the 1970s and its impact on the mental and social development of young boys and men. I discuss the challenges posed by the digital world, including video games and smartphones, and emphasize the importance of balancing this with real-world interactions. I highlight the role of parents in modeling healthy behaviors and setting standards for technology use, physical activity, and emotional expression.  I give practical advice for parents to support their sons, including encouraging physical activities, understanding different learning styles, and fostering social connections.

How Therapists and Coaches Can Identify and Engage Their Target Audience with Rebekah Hudson

How Therapists and Coaches Can Identify and Engage Their Target Audience with Rebekah Hudson

In this episode, we are diving deep into a topic that is not only pivotal for therapists and coaches but is the linchpin for any successful practice - discovering and marketing to your Target Audience. In our professional journey, understanding who we are speaking to, who we are trying to help, and who we want to attract is paramount. But the path to identifying your ideal client isn’t always clear-cut, is it? That’s where today’s episode comes into play. We'll kick things off by demystifying what a 'target audience' really is, and we’re not stopping at definitions! We’ll explore real-world examples and dissect the subtle, yet crucial differences between your scope of practice, niche, target, and ideal client. Moving forward, we’ll delve into the 'why' - why having a well-defined target audience is not just beneficial, but essential to the growth and sustainability of your practice. We’ll navigate through the target analogy and discuss a couple of exceptions where having a Target Audience might not be the recommended route. And of course, the meat of our discussion will revolve around the 'how'. How do you, as therapists and coaches, discover your target audience? How do you sift through the universal to find the unique – The 'Universal You' to be precise? We’ll explore strategic questions and methods to not only identify but also connect deeply with your Target Audience. This journey is not one you need to embark on alone. For those of you seeking a helping hand, Rebekah Hudson is here to assist. With her expertise as a marketing professional and copywriter, specializing in the mental health industry, she offers consulting services to help you identify and narrow down your Target Audience.
