Last Friday we hosted our very first CEO Day here in our brand new training room in our Lutz office and it was amazing! Our very own CoLo Founder, Sabrina Williams opened up the day covering business strategy and rates. The afternoon speaker, Bianca Belabre sent us all home with tons of homework to create our🔥marketing strategy. We'll be thinking of the strategy coming out of these sessions for a long time! There was so much information to implement it was overwhelming (but in the best way because it's going to grow our business😁).

🎄Calling All Therapists!🎄

Private practice can be rather lonely at times. We miss out on all the fun stuff that working in a group or agency might provide - a holiday party being one of those things. So we at CoLo Counseling Community are dreaming up a holiday gathering just for therapists! It's like an office party, but on a community-wide scale. A chance for us to slow down, connect, and celebrate the work we’ve all done this year.

(Is July too early to be thinking of the holidays? YES! Are we thinking of the holidays in July anyway? Also YES! 😏)

Before we get too far with planning, we’d love your input!

🗳️ Please take this quick poll to help shape the event.

We’re thinking up festive vibes, good food, meaningful moments, and maybe even a little sparkle... but we want to know what you would enjoy most!

Your feedback will help us create a celebration that truly feels like a gift at the end of a long year.

This is a really helpful article about improving website traffic in the face of AI that's being implemented all over the web. Less people are making it directly to your website and socials - for a very interesting reason!

AI is transforming how people find answers online and that includes how they find therapists. With tools like Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT-powered search on the rise, traditional SEO strategies are getting flipped on their heads. Many therapists are noticing a drop in blog traffic, reduced cl...
