Twitter home feed can be overwhelming for new users. The more people you follow, the more tweets show up on your profile page feed. Who has hours every day to read thousands of tweets? I sure don't. That's where Twitter "Lists" come in. I received this question from a therapist via email earlier this week, and it echoes the concerns of many therapists I've consulted with. How do I highlight users that I'm really interested in so I don't have to sort through the home feed?

I would like to follow more people on Twitter, but I only want (and have time) to see posts from about 15 select people every day. Is there a way to separate those I want to see daily from the rest so I don't have to skim over tons of others?

That's what the Twitter "Lists" are for. You can create a list of favorite users that you want to follow more closely. Each list you create can have a unique name and can be marked as public (others can see and follow your list) or private (only you can see your list). Then when you visit Twitter you can click on a specific list to see posts from only people you've assigned to that list.

I put together this basic step-by-step tutorial on how to set up "Lists" on Twitter. I hope it helps you maximize your time on Twitter!

I recently had the opportunity to interview Nicole Bonsol, a writing, branding, and graphic designer for healers. She helps therapists create an inviting and powerful website and best craft their message to engage with their viewers. I was fascinated at what Nicole had to say, especially because of her unique role in the process of helping clinicians reach their audience. Here are some highlights of our discussion:

Private Practice Website: Should You Hire a Pro or DIY?

As therapists in 2016, we understand that having a functioning, informational, and attractive website isn’t just a good idea-it’s a necessity. But if you’re just starting out in private practice, it can be intimidating to build one from the ground up. How do you design your home page so a user can easily navigate and find what they need? How do you present information in a way that isn’t overwhelming or too “busy”? What’s the best way to make sure your content is mobile-friendly? And even when you figure out the answers to these questions, how do you make the vision in your head actually become reality on a website?
