Dr Mikki shares how she turned TikTok into a top referral source by committing to one challenge, built a community with other ambitious therapists, and created a practice model centered on autism and ADHD assessments that gives her both financial stability and flexibility.Dr Mikki also opens up about the discomfort of getting visible, the three hours it took to post her first video, and why results come from focus - not perfection or hustle.
