Learn Innovative Ways For Therapists to Increase Revenue Streams

Are you looking for an engaging speaker to bring fresh perspectives to your next retreat or workshop? 

As a therapist and entrepreneur, I specialize in providing practical insights into alternative revenue streams for therapists and the benefits of incorporating bariatric psychological assessments into your practice. My goal is to empower therapists with actionable strategies and creative solutions to build their practices and improve their professional lives.

Why Invite Me to Speak?

Hi there! I’m Ashlyn Douglass-Barnes, a licensed clinical social worker and supervisor based in Florida. I’ve been in the field for years, working in everything from drug treatment programs to community clinics. Along the way, I discovered a real passion for mentoring new therapists and helping them thrive.

I’ve built several successful businesses, including courses, consultations, coaching, and directories, all while running my own therapy practice. My experience means I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t. I’m excited to share this knowledge with you, whether it’s through speaking engagements, workshops, or live sessions.

When you invite me to speak at your event, you’re not just getting a presenter—you’re getting someone who understands the challenges you face and can offer practical, actionable advice. I make complex topics easy to understand and apply, helping you and your team find new ways to grow and succeed. Let’s make your next event both inspiring and incredibly valuable!

I offer a unique blend of experience and expertise that resonates with fellow therapists. Whether you’re planning a retreat, workshop, or team training session, my talks cover two key areas:

Alternative Revenue Streams for Therapists

    • Learn about various revenue streams beyond traditional therapy sessions. From publishing articles and creating directories to offering specialized assessments, I’ll show you how to diversify your income sources effectively.

  • Practical Implementation

    • I provide actionable steps for integrating these new revenue streams into your practice. This includes setting up directories, exploring publication opportunities, and finding your niche to attract and retain clients.

Bariatric Psychological Assessments

  • While bariatric topics can be polarizing, I offer an insightful look into this field. My talks cover the essentials of conducting bariatric psychological assessments and how this niche can fit into your practice.

  • Gain insights into the bariatric community and learn how to effectively market your services to this specialized client group.

  • Engaging Presentations

  • Customized and Digestible Content

  • Flexible Formats, like live workshops, online webinars, and interactive sessions. If you prefer a different format like Facebook Live or Instagram Live, I can accommodate that too.

Highlighted Previous Engagements

I’ve had the privilege of speaking on various platforms and contributing to the professional development of therapists.
