- My name is Amy Maricle, LMHC, ATR-BC, with Maricle Counseling in Foxboro, MA. I started working with Tamara a few months ago to help me navigate the business end of being in private practice.
- I had been reading Tamara’s blogs for about a year prior to engaging in coaching with her. I interviewed several different coaches, and right away when I had my free consult with Tamara, she stood out for her warmth, generosity, energy, and ability to put me at ease. Not only was Tamara more economical than other coaches, I have also gotten more support and feedback because of our email contact between sessions, which has been invaluable as I stretch my comfort zones!
- I am a good therapist, but I knew absolutely nothing about business, or how to combine business and therapy. A lot of what I struggled with in the beginning was understanding how to get all the business parts done without being awkward or interfering with the therapy. What I needed was someone experienced and successful to give me language I could use with clients and other therapists about running a private practice outside of managed care. Tamara was that person.
- I can talk about finances, network, and explain my model in a passionate, authentic way. This feels really good.
- Finally, Tamara obviously also taught me a lot about blogging and the value of blogging as a marketing tool. What I like so much about my work with Tamara, and her posts, is that it has also exposed me to so many other resources of information, and empowered me to believe that I can succeed in promoting my business online. Just this week, I had a post with over 1,000 likes on Facebook, 24 comments, and multiple re-pins on Pinterest. All of this resulted in me almost doubling my email list.
- If you think coaching might help you in your business, I encourage you to talk to Tamara. For me, the investment has paid for itself and then some.
