Research initiative launches to better understand healing professionals' business needs amidst growing mental health crisis

NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tango Publishing, Inc., creators of YourTango.com and YourTango Experts, a B2B division supporting healing professionals, announced the results of its inaugural study on the perspectives and needs of healers and helpers. 200 practitioners from a variety of disciplines contributed, including licensed therapists and coaches in the wellness space.

The survey provides insights on how practitioners manage important aspects of their businesses: from marketing pain-points to top business challenges.

• Referrals are key – 83% of respondents use referrals for client acquisition. Only 21% reported social media and 1% indicated telehealth platforms as effective for acquiring new clients.
• Post-pandemic demand increases – 46% of respondents saw their practice size increase compared to before the pandemic; 67% of those offering counseling or therapy were likely to have experienced an increase.
• Specializations impact growth – Healing professionals who specialize in grief & loss; marriage & family; anxiety & depression have seen the greatest business increase, whereas those specializing in career guidance, entrepreneurship and life coaching reported significant decreases in the size of their practice.
• More balance needed – Respondents spend an average of 5 hours and $240 per month marketing their businesses, with 36% claiming to dislike this requirement. Time management, overwhelm, and self-care remain key challenges for most healing professionals.
