Why I'm starting a podcast for therapists even when I'm not a therapist myself

Marketing can feel overwhelming for therapists. Many private practice owners are passionate about their work but struggle with branding, client attraction, and sustainable business growth. That’s why I created The Marketing Couch, a podcast designed to help therapists build thriving private practices without the stress of DIY marketing.


In case you’re new here, I’m Natalia Maganda, and I help private practice owners create and manage a strategic, client-attracting website—without the tech headaches. If you want a website that works for you while you focus on your clients, you’re in the right place. Learn more about my web design services for therapists.


Introducing The Marketing Couch—a podcast for therapists who want more ease in their business

The Marketing Couch is a space where therapists can learn about marketing, business growth, and sustainable success—without the overwhelm. Unlike most marketing advice that feels generic or salesy, this podcast is designed specifically for therapists, helping them attract more clients, simplify their marketing, and build a thriving private practice.


Each episode will cover real conversations about marketing, mindset, and the systems therapists need to run their business with ease. I’ll also bring in expert interviews with professionals who specialize in private practice growth, branding, and SEO.

Why therapists need a podcast that talks about marketing, from a marketing expert

Many therapists are incredible at what they do but struggle when it comes to growing their practice. Traditional therapy training doesn’t cover branding, marketing, or lead generation, leaving therapists to figure it all out on their own. This leads to frustration, burnout, and inconsistent client flow.


I believe therapists deserve marketing strategies that feel aligned, not forced. That’s why The Marketing Couch exists—to provide simple, effective marketing insights that help therapists grow their practice without spending hours on social media or chasing clients.


I believe the world needs more healing—and I’m here to support that

Therapists do life-changing work. But if clients can’t find them, they can’t help as many people as they should. My mission is to make therapy more accessible by helping therapists get visible online.


Every website I create and every strategy I share through The Marketing Couch is designed to:

  • Connect therapists with their ideal clients
  • Simplify marketing so they can focus on their practice
  • Eliminate the guesswork from client attraction


Therapists don’t have to DIY their marketing to thrive

There’s a common belief that therapists have to do everything themselves—build their website, learn SEO, post on social media daily, and manage all the backend tech. But that’s not true. Marketing should feel simple and sustainable, not like an extra job.


Therapists who outsource their website and SEO often see more consistent inquiries, better client matches, and a lighter workload because they’re not constantly trying to figure out marketing on their own.

This podcast will break down why therapists don’t have to do it all—and how they can grow their practice while maintaining balance.


I’m on a mission to reduce therapist burnout


Why burnout is so common in private practice

Burnout is one of the biggest struggles therapists face, especially in private practice. The combination of emotional labor, admin work, and marketing pressure leads to exhaustion. The APA reports that nearly 50% of mental health professionals experience moderate to high levels of burnout.


The role of streamlined marketing in burnout prevention

Marketing stress is a major contributor to therapist burnout. Many therapists feel pressure to show up constantly on social media, write blogs, and handle all their marketing alone. But when marketing is done right, it should work for you, not add to your stress.


Through The Marketing Couch, I’ll be sharing how a well-structured website, automated lead generation, and SEO can help therapists attract clients effortlessly—without burning out.


The most important thing to succeed? An abundant mindset.

Therapists often tell me they feel uncomfortable marketing themselves, fearing they’ll seem too salesy. But the truth is, marketing isn’t about selling—it’s about making it easier for the right clients to find you.


Why scarcity thinking keeps therapists stuck

A scarcity mindset often leads therapists to:

  • Undercharge for their services
  • Overwork themselves out of fear of not getting enough clients
  • Avoid marketing, hoping word-of-mouth will be enough


How shifting to an abundance mindset changes everything

When therapists start viewing marketing as an opportunity to serve more people, everything shifts. They can:

  • Charge rates that sustain their practice
  • Set boundaries that prevent burnout
  • Show up confidently, knowing their services are valuable


One of my biggest goals with this podcast is to help therapists adopt an abundant mindset—so they can create a private practice that supports their life, not drains them.


What to expect from The Marketing Couch podcast

  • Real conversations about marketing, branding, and business growth
  • Interviews with experts on SEO, content strategy, and private practice success
  • Actionable strategies therapists can use to attract private-pay clients without stress
  • Burnout prevention tips that help therapists create a business that feels good


Each episode is designed to help therapists market their practice in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.


Final thoughts—why this podcast is just the beginning

Therapists deserve more ease, success, and freedom in their businesses. My mission with The Marketing Couch is to give therapists the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts they need to thrive.


If you’re ready to build a private practice with less stress and more clarity, I’d love for you to tune in.
