One of the questions we get asked most often is “how do I find more clients?”
Credentialing professionals need to be as proactive as anyone else running a small business or even a large one. Here are some tips to get started with.
To find local mental health providers for your new business, you can use the following methods:
- Online Directories: Use websites like Psychology Today, TherapyTribe, or Healthgrades to locate mental health providers in your area. These directories often provide contact information.
- Google Search: Search for keywords like “mental health providers near me” or “therapists in [your city]” to find local professionals.
- Local Professional Organizations: Join or contact local mental health associations or chapters of professional organizations, such as the American Psychological Association (APA) or the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
- Healthcare Facilities: Reach out to local hospitals, clinics, and behavioral health centers. Often their staff is listed on the website- just mail to that address.
- Networking Events: Attend local healthcare networking events, conferences, or workshops to make direct connections.
- Social Media: Search for local providers on LinkedIn, Facebook, or other platforms where professionals may promote their services.
- Build an email marketing list as you go.
