019: The 5 Types of Uncommon Therapists + How To Use Your Unique Type To Accelerate Your Practice Growth - Part 1

Uncommon therapists, like us, are creative, unique, and live at the intersection of tradition + innovation in our practice. We are leaders in the therapy & healing communities and are evolving the helping professions beyond tradition and "the way it's always been done."

When you know your uncommon therapist type, you have a focused way to start marketing, magnetize clients who love working with you, & create an authentic practice that is a unique expression of your calling.

In this episode, I dig into why it’s important to know your uncommon therapist type and I share more about each type (plus how to use it for marketing purposes). I also chat about my own journey as an uncommon therapist and how I knew very early on that I didn’t want the traditional therapy career path.

Be sure to listen closely and take notes if you need to - this episode is full of tips and strategies for marketing your uncommon practice in a way that suits you!

What you’ll find in this episode:

  • The origin of the uncommon therapist

  • Why you need to know your therapist type

  • The 5 types of uncommon therapists

Quotes:

“We want to carve our own path and do things in a way that truly fits for us.”

“It took me a long time to own the value of finding your own truth and thinking differently.

“I’m inviting those of us who think differently and feel the call to something more, to acknowledge that we’re here to change things. That is our superpower. That is the essence of the uncommon therapist.”

“I almost left the helping field entirely because I felt like I needed to be, do, and think things that did not fully align with my truth.”
