I am a therapist licensed in the state of New York currently operating an all virtual practice. I also like to talk about running a private practice and I like to share my thoughts on how to make practices run efficiently. On this channel I will be creating content all about starting, running, and growing an efficient practice. Learn more about my practice here: www.matthewryanlcsw.com/
Hope to see you soon!

They are getting rid of Zoom for all therapists (ALMA)
ALMA recently released a new feature called ALMA Telehealth. It will be replacing the Zoom accounts they have been providing to therapist as part of their membership. A lot of therapist use ALMA to grow their private practices. This will be a big change. Some people may choose to stay with ALMA while others may move to Simple Practice or other platforms. Oh yes, I am in NO way sponsored by ALMA.

Increasing referrals with an EAP (what you need to know in private practice)
มุมมอง 2449 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
EAP's can be a great way to build a caseload in private practice because they often provide a good number of referrals. However, they come with some pretty significant limitations.

You are like my virtual mentor in my head lol.
Thats awesome. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it
This is very helpful. Having back and neck pain as I type. Thank you!
I'm strongly considering cancelling my Alma membership. Headway's reimbursements are slightly lower, but I'm not paying a monthly fee... and I use Simplepractice as my EHR. I haven't gotten any referrals from Alma. and now that Headway offers multi-state licensure... I'm prob gonna cancel Alma.
I am exploring paying for zoom was alma proving a zoom "workplace" or zoom "room"?
I am actually not sure
Glad I left Alma.
I’m glad that I continued to pay for my own HIPAA compliant version of Zoom. I prefer zoom because I can share worksheets and clients can now “write” on them. I have several whiteboard templates saved, like the DBT behavior chain analysis, wise mind, etc. that both the client any myself can write and take notes on during sessions.
You can also upload your existing PDF worksheets to the whiteboard and write or type on them.
works so great on iPad Air 2 in 2024!!
Amazing!
Hi thanks for the video! Can you share a bit more about why you think it would not replace therapist?
Right now the technology is prone to so many errors. It can not really replicate human empathy well in my opinion. There are other reasons well and perhaps I can make a future video
Do you need a DBA if you established a LLC?
You don't need one, but you can get one if you want to use a different name
@@matthewryanLCSW I forgot to add, do you see clients in multiple states or just NY? if so do you keep a universal consent form? I am licensed in three states and recently opened my LCC- sole provider. I am currently working on documentation
@@DivineEsme I would always have my documentation and intake packet reviewed by an attorney. They would be the best to advise on how to make sure the wording is correct for the states you are providing services in
@@matthewryanLCSW thank you!
Can I social worker be a therapist? Would you recommend Masters in SW or in Counseling? in order to become a Therapist.
Hi Mia. Yes a social worker can be a therapist. This is what I am. In NY, typically, a social worker will have a broader scope of practice than a counselor. I am not sure if this is true for every state though. In other words the social work degree tends to be a bit more versatile.
7 minute increments?! 😂
Thanks! I'm new to PP about 3 months in, your videos are encouraging!
Thank you so much. Welcome to the journey. It really is incredible and you are not alone!
thanks for posting this. I've been told a thousand times to "niche it up" with respect to my profiles and I have tried to, specifically on PT and Alma, trying to write specific populations I specialize in. However, I don't seem to be getting referrals from those clients but rather more general issues. Do you have a video on practical examples on how to emphasize your niche area in profiles?
At the moment I don't but I think this will be a good idea in the future.
Helpful video, thanks. I don't have a business address currently but do you think you could get away with posting a residence address in which you can physically see clients? or does it need to be an official business address?
That should work as long as you are ok with your address being public
Cery helpful bc i just started trying to do private practice with no calls etc. 😢
I am so glad you found it helpful. You got this!
I go to gym, drink 70 oz of water daily and eat well. Working on more consistent sleep.
Amazing stuff!
I am just finding this as a therapist who continues to do telehealth sessions and I think this is great. Made me rethink my setup. Thank you!
Amazing. So glad you found it!
Can you stream from IPhone 14 to 2nd Gen IPad? Hardwire? Can't connect through airplay.
I am actually not sure.
Are those "sticky notes" attached to the page of the book or how do you find them later?
I am not sure if they stay there once you leave the book, but you are able to pull up all the different notes you write to easily find them
Will you make a video and compare these with Therapy Notes
Unfortunately, I can't because I have never used therapy notes
It seems kind of pretentious but I think maybe I'm just jealous. Fascinating vid.

Does this mean I can bill for my state-registered intern too?
Probably not. Interns usually are not covered with insurance panels. However, it would not hurt to ask

Where is it that you were running? Looked like maybe Riverside?
Great video!! This is my second time watching it. I thought I remembered you saying that you used a "virtual" address. If so, which platform do you recommend? A quick Google Search suggested "PostScanMail."
This was helpful! I'm trying to create my own treatment plan/initial assessment and I think with this video, I can actually do it. Thanks
Amazing! Thats why we are here.
Cool
What happens to the insured client's access to care when supervisory billing ends and the supervisee is fully licensed? Does the client have to pay OON until the now fully licensed therapist becomes credentialed with their health insurance? I cannot find any information online that describes what happens next.
That is a great question. They would need to find a solution until that provider becomes fully credentialed. There would be a weird gap in care. They may need to be OON to cover that gap, take a break, or perhaps bridge with the supervisor.
@@matthewryanLCSW After further investigation, Cigna clients can complete a "Continuity of Care" form and submit it for approval. It seems so odd that the clinician and (most importantly) the client are adversely affected by their therapist awaiting credentialing!
@@couruetz Amazing. Great finding this info. Yes it seems like an overlooked loophole in a negative sense
I sit for my licensing exam at the end of next month. Is this something I could start doing now to get the ball rolling? Or should I wait until I pass?
Hi Brandy, Thats awesome. What a big milestone you are approaching. I would recommend focusing on your test since its so close. Additionally, you will want to have your new license active before obtaining malpractice and all that.
hey dude, nice hair... bwahh ha
I have the original 2017 gopro and it works! Thanks!
Amazing. Giving it a second life!
So glad I found your channel! I really dig your laid back vibe. I’ve doing a lot of these strategies but this is helpful! Thank you!
Amazing. So glad to have you here. Yea. There is not too much that is mind blowing about PP marketing.
Works like a dream. Using iMac M3 (2024 - macOS Sonoma 14.6) and iPad Air 1 (2010 - iOS 12.5.7). Just remember to turn Auto-lock OFF on your iPad LOL.
Amazing. So glad it works.
How does it work when a client late cancels or no-shows? I'm reading on their website that therapists would be responsible for collecting that
Thats right. If someone late cancels or no shows, you are responsible for collecting that. It's quite simple to charge the late fee as you would with any other platform, but you have the control about whether or not you charge a fee. It will not be done for you automatically. Hope this info helps.
do you have inside scoop on what’s goin on with Alma? Mike Cardillicchia made me reschedule with a different colleague, the system bounced me back to him but for weeks later, he said he’d check on it but is “very busy” and now has stopped answering me. I tried to get a different meeting set up in their website under a different email address and the system said “we’ll get back to you” rather than letting me set a time/day like the first time around…
Hi Minh. I am not sure whats going on there. Perhaps the have too much work and not enough staff to address the needs. That is frustrating though

The government takes more than 31% where I am. Much much more.
How is it cost efective to hire? There is so much red tape, legal counsel, time, money, etc. Why shouldn't I just see my own clients and call it a day?
It's not something cost effective right off the bat. Also, a group practice also provides a way to teach and supervise
Grow Therapy does this
Have you used a biller?
How did you get credentialed on your own?
I used a credentialing company
This is why people should have their own EHR
My biggest fear is actually getting clients. Advertising is the hardest and most expensive part in my opinion, and with out it the practice will fail or take a decade to grow.
Yes this is one of the biggest challenges.
Super helpful, thank you!!
You are welcome
~2:21 The thought of a licensed mental health clinician thinking they are exempt from state licensing guidelines because they are cash pay is frightening and preposterous - no one believes that.
Does this apply to private pay also, as to filling caseload?
Hi Erin. It certainly could. Cash pay is challenging though.
When you use software should you be aware that the software team has access to your patient's HPI?
Hi Nic, Good question. Most of the softwares will have you sing a BAA (Business Associate Agreement) and this is where they detail how they use the PHI
