Manage episode 430148033 series 3577575
Sometimes, taking the next step is all you need to expand your therapy practice in ways you never imagined.
Dr. Racine Henry, a marriage and family therapist, has not only built a thriving private practice but also developed innovative approaches to her work with couples, such as her Integrative Culinary Therapy, or ICT.
She shares her rich experience from starting Sankofa Marriage Family Therapy to overcoming the challenges of setting up a business in New York.
In this episode, Dr. Henry discusses everything from setting private pay rates—without guilt—to effective marketing strategies that truly resonate.
She touches on the importance of cultural competence, the transition to virtual therapy, and the power of staying true to your identity as a clinician.
In the conversation, they discuss:
- Dr. Henry’s advice on why clinicians should identify and stay true to their own identity, integrating it into their therapeutic approach and business model.
- How to market and gain clients through word of mouth, online directories, media appearances, and networking.
- The impetus and execution of Integrative Culinary Therapy to address the unique therapeutic needs of black couples, merging cooking and group therapy to foster relational healing.
