is going to be a convoluted question. I\u2019m a freelance copywriter and marketing strategist. Three years ago, a psychologist and his business-minded spouse were opening a nonprofit mental health center. They hired me to write the website. It went so well that they have continued to use me for every bit of writing that the organization requires. Since they\u2019ve realized that I\u2019m intelligent and good at problem-solving, they often ask for my help on non-marketing related issues, such as helping to develop a program.\n\nThey honestly haven\u2019t acted much like a nonprofit for these first three years. They have spent the time establishing themselves as a mental health center, hiring more therapists, nailing down their processes, training their therapists, getting into a ton of insurance panels, and opening offices in other locations. They\u2019ve acted more like a very affordable private practice that takes most insurances.\n\nNow that they feel established, they actually want to focus on developing specific programs and getting funding. Their whole thing is making high quality mental health care accessible, which they have set themselves up to do quite well. At the moment, some of their psychologists can practice in 36 states. They have dreams of eventually reaching all 50 states.  \n\nThe psychologist is amazing at handling everything related to the mental health field.

I\u2019m a freelance copywriter and marketing strategist. Three years ago, a psychologist and his business-minded spouse were opening a nonprofit mental health center. They hired me to write the website. It went so well that they have continued to use me for every bit of writing that the organization requires. Since they\u2019ve realized that I\u2019m intelligent and good at problem-solving, they often ask for my help on non-marketing related issues, such as helping to develop a program.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;They honestly haven\u2019t acted much like a nonprofit for these first three years. They have spent the time establishing themselves as a mental health center, hiring more therapists, nailing down their processes, training their therapists, getting into a ton of insurance panels, and opening offices in other locations. They\u2019ve acted more like a very affordable private practice that takes most insurances.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n&lt;p&gt;Now that they feel established, they actually want to focus on developing specific programs and getting funding.
