I welcome referrals and collaborations for new or existing client care. You can contact me via my email at ryansweatlmft@gmail.com, or by using the contact form on this website.

For referrals, please send only the initials of a client with only a brief and non-identifying case synopsis to outline why you think I would be a good provider. Following this, we can set a time to discuss details confidentially, or you can skip the email and just schedule a time with me directly.

I welcome considerations for cross-marketing opportunities with other mental healthcare professionals. I prefer to have a conversation to understand who I am endorsing prior to publishing anything on my site. If you want to discuss an opportunity, please contact me via my email at ryansweatlmft@gmail.com, or by using the contact form on this website.

I use Ivy Pay, a HIPAA-compliant payment processing platform for therapists that offers no overhead costs, no subscriptions, and a reasonable flat processing fee of 2.75%.

Ivy Pay’s HIPAA-secure design is guaranteed with a signed Business Associate Agreement so you’re fully compliant. They also offer an automated super billing service for your clients if you opt in for this.

If you would like to redeem this code for $1000 in free charges, you can email me at ryasweatlmft@gmail.com or use my referral code ryas732 in the rewards section of the app.

Only licensed therapists may obtain the code.

You can download Ivy Pay on the Google Play Store of Apple App Store

I use Headway.co for my insurance based clients. Headway offers a low-hassle verification and payment processing system that takes most of the pain out of insurance claims. I get paid promptly, with some protection in place. Headway provides helpful templates for session notes as well as help with treatment plans and a variety of assessment procedures.

Headway also provides a referrals pipeline with pre-approved insurance clients that can greatly simplify and speed up new client acquisition.

Payout rates have been on-par with what I have seen in the industry, and in some cases have outperformed what insurance panels have offered me directly!

If you are interested in expand your insurance based practice and want to receive a sign on bonus from headway, use my referral code https://share.findheadway.com/ryansweatlmft3 to sign up.

I use PsychologyToday.com to promote my private practice presence online. It’s worth the $30/mo fee, as I have received more referrals from Psychology Today than through any other channel. The find a therapist tool is a great referral resource for finding other practitioners for case handoffs and consultations. Email me at ryansweatlmft@gmail.com to get a month of psychology today for free.

While I have little love for social media in general, and Meta Inc in general, I have decided to use the Instagram platform to provide a “toolbox” of concepts and skills to my clients and the public as an effort to offer therapy skills beyond the paywall.

Also, an excuse to spread more cuteness and combat the existential doomscroll
