134. The One Ugrade that Transformed My Therapy Business Overnight with Lindsay Haverslew

Saison 1

dimanche 8 septembre 2024Durée 28:40

You know that feeling when you stumble across a hidden gem during your travels? That burst of excitement because you've found something truly special? That’s exactly how I felt after my chat with Lindsey Haverslu. Her journey from a traditional therapist to a globetrotting, multi-passionate entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring.

Picture this: Starting in Thailand during a global pandemic, Lindsey turned her dream into reality against all odds. So many of you email me, saying you want to start your traveling therapist journey now—not stuck in the States, but out there in the world. Lindsey did just that, and it’s a game-changer.

What struck me was her fearless leap, especially when her business wasn’t yet enough to sustain her. She took a calculated risk, leaned into social media, and boom! She built a thriving practice with thousands of followers on Instagram and even brought on associates. Imagine the freedom that kind of success gives you.

Lindsey also created Solaceekers Collective, a supportive space for Betrayed Partners. Her passion, mixed with travel narratives, makes her not just a therapist, but a beacon of hope and transformation for her clients. It’s proof that pursuing your passion can serve others in profound ways.

Whether you’re grappling with the complexities of licensing or craving other income streams for more travel freedom, Lindsey’s story is your roadmap. She’s balancing private practice, a booming social media presence, and, soon enough, hosting a retreat in Guatemala.

The biggest takeaway? Don’t be afraid to showcase your unique lifestyle within your practice. Authenticity draws the right clients to you. Use your travels not just for personal growth but as an extension of the healing work you do with your clients.

 

Key Points: 

  • Lindsay Haverslew transformed her therapy practice by embracing travel and entrepreneurship, starting her journey in Thailand during the pandemic.

  • By leveraging social media, Lindsay grew a thriving therapy business, gaining thousands of followers and expanding her practice with associates.

  • She founded Solaceekers Collective to support Betrayed Partners, blending her therapeutic skills with her passion for travel and community-building.



About Lindsay Haverslew:

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (from Canada) specializing in betrayal trauma recovery. I launched my private practice as a side gig to my agency job in January 2020. When everything went virtual with the pandemic, I began to see this as an opportunity to travel and work, and in January 2021 I took a leave of absence from my agency job, moved to Thailand for 10 months and have never looked back. I've really been on the move since then and have bounced around from place to place, returning to Thailand several times, as well as to Mexico, Colombia, England, Scotland, Laos and the U.S. I have learned I tend to get itchy feet around the 3 month mark somewhere and need to pack up and move again!

For 3 years I had a challenging time filling my practice through traditional marketing like Psychology Today and a website, so I decided to do some research on marketing on Instagram. Within a few short months I was no longer accepting new clients and within one year I had hired 4 associates onto my team to keep up with requests. We are all 100% virtual and I am thrilled that I can create opportunities for other travelling therapists! I really enjoy using Instagram as a marketing tool as I find it to be an incredible creative outlet, and I absolutely love sharing what I have learned with others who are looking to build their caseloads using IG as well.

As a stay-at-home mom during her girls' childhood, she was faced with an abundance of commitments, in terms of helping her special needs daughter, and providing the ongoing support needed for both of her daughters. Parenting a special needs child and navigating the unique challenges involved, in combination with her professional background, has enabled her to help others gain the essential skills and tools that are needed in stressful life situations to cope, heal, and grow.

She know she’s at this particular juncture as an entrepreneur and relationship therapist (a dream come true) due to her family journey as a special needs parent. After taking ample time to navigate the special needs world and tend to her family in ways she could not imagine, and reentering the workforce as a Y coach at the YMCA, she was led back to her passion as a relationship therapist and expanded upon this dream by becoming an entrepreneur. Eleni’s travel includes visiting family in a different state where she can continue working, which has added such rich elements to her career. She truly feel blessed to be at this exact moment of her personal and professional stage of life!

I am a licensed therapist and private practice marketing strategist for modality-based therapists and practitioners, holistic healers, and complementary/alternative medicine providers.

 

I help my clients learn and master the marketing skills necessary to be able to fill their caseloads with private-pay clients so that they can leave behind the hassle and headache of being in-network with insurance companies, see fewer than 12 clients/week, and achieve time, money, and location freedom.

 

I do this through teaching my clients how to find and speak to the type of client they’d love to fill their entire caseload with — without having to dance on TikTok or use bro-marketing strategies.
