34. The Truth About Niching Down with John Clarke

by | Jan 20, 2020 | Podcast

In this week’s episode of the Private Practice Elevation podcast, you’ll learn the truth about niching down your therapy practice and exactly how to go about it.

“Niching down” tends to be a buzz word we hear a lot in Facebook groups, marketing articles and Instagram.

Essentially, it’s the practice of taking your business and focusing on a very specific type of client in order to become the expert to that population.

Or perhaps you want to be known as an expert on a specific topic, you could niche your practice down to “anxiety for freshman college students.”

The thought is that if you’re seen as the expert to those college students, you’ll attract more visitors to your website, convert them into clients and be on your way to a full practice in no time.

But the truth is, there may be times where “niching down” may actually not be a good idea for your therapy practice.

To help us unpack the niching myth and understand how we should go about the niche question, we have our special guest, John Clarke, LPC.
