GrowthSpurt Strategies
Mental health marketing consultancy for therapy practices. Founded by Laura Bailey-Wickins, the firm builds flexible marketing programs for therapists and clinicians.
GrowthSpurt Strategies is a mental health marketing consultancy based in North Arlington, New Jersey, founded in 2024. The firm positions itself as a partner for therapy practices that need a steady pipeline of recurring clients but lack the time or background to manage their own online marketing.
The agency is led by Laura Bailey-Wickins, a digital marketing consultant with over a decade of professional experience in new client acquisition, demand generation, content marketing strategy, social media strategy, and search and website optimization. Her background spans financial services, higher education, technology, and nonprofit industries, with hands-on expertise in content development, copywriting, SEO, lead generation, social media marketing, and email marketing.
GrowthSpurt Strategies offers a focused service set covering SEO, social media marketing, content marketing, digital marketing, and digital strategy. Its areas of expertise include copywriting, education digital marketing, marketing strategy, on-page optimization, and technical SEO. A distinguishing approach is building marketing programs for therapists that can be paused or enabled based on caseload, giving clinicians control over their client flow.
The agency primarily serves startups, small businesses, and medium businesses across the Education, Corporate Services, and Media & Communications industries. Its client roster includes Dramasol LLC, a drama therapy brand, Food Truck Insights, a food truck business venture, and Tina Z Inc., a small business owner and voice over talent.
Portfolio work includes a digital marketing engagement for a drama therapy brand completed in four months for under $5,000, plus two marketing strategy projects for a voice over talent and a new business venture, each completed in three months for under $5,000. The agency has also been featured in a PRLog press mention highlighting its work empowering small businesses.
With a minimum budget of $1,000 to $10,000 and an average hourly rate of $100, GrowthSpurt Strategies positions itself as an accessible option for smaller practices. The consultancy's team remains under 49 employees, and its flexible program structure is designed to align with the fluctuating demands of a clinical practice.
