Tweets for Therapists

If you think Twitter is just for teens and celebrities, think again! Twitter can help therapists spread awareness about mental health topics while helping them gain expert status. If your passion is working with eating disorders, tweet about disordered eating, share statistics, helpful information, resources, and tips.

I know many therapists wonder if they will get clients from Twitter – my answer is always yes…and no… You shouldn’t go into this thinking you’ll send out a few tweets and get a client or two, that’s just not going to happen. But keeping an active account that shares pertinent and helpful information helps with overall brand strategy. Having a fairly popular account helps your website SEO and helps with name recognition. If you approach Twitter as your way of sharing your thoughts and helping some people along the way – you’re more likely to be passionate about this venture. There is a chance that your tweets are seen by someone interested in your services who can see your style and seek further help.

This should go without saying, but always remember to keep your personal and professional Twitter accounts separate! If you’re going to create an account and engage other users, have a clear goal in mind, and keep your tweets on topic. Use your personal account to discuss red carpet fashion and your college sports!

Do you have a Twitter account? What has your experience been? Tell us in the comments below and include your twitter handle so we can follow each other!
