About Emotional Wellness Matters
Emotional Wellness Matters is a professionally written and produced newsletter designed to enhance your private practice. It can be used as a way to disseminate therapy information to the community and as a way to distribute information about you and your practice to the prospective clients and referral sources. As such, it is an excellent way of marketing your private therapy practice. Many of our subscribers verify that it is the best form of advertising they have ever used for their practices. Many therapists know that they don’t have the time to write their own newsletter, although they can see the value of doing so. EWM provides high quality writing in an attractive graphics format on topics of interest to your clients, your prospective clients, and to those who can make referrals to you.
Emotional Wellness Matters has been providing services to the professional therapy community in the United States and Canada for nearly twenty years. Many of our subscribers order not only the current issue, which comes out once every other month, but also our back issues. The back issues are not identified by date or year, so they remain timeless and are just as useful as the current issue. From time to time we revise an old issue by reviewing the newer literature on the topic and bringing the old issue up to date.
We used to offer only the hardcopy version of EWM, but, keeping up with the times, we now produce online versions that you can use to send out as emails or to post to your website as a valuable resource that keeps viewers returning for more information. We offer a web-ready PDF version, a printable PDF version that you can use to print as many copies of the newsletter as you want, an HTML version for website inclusion, and an attractive JPG variation that you can send out as an email (readers just click on the JPG photo, which is an image of the first page of the current issue, and they are taken right to your website). We also offer you a text-only version in case you want to design your own newsletter.
