Rise4 specializes exclusively in mental health marketing, with a deep focus on TMS, ketamine, and Spravato clinics. Unlike generalist agencies, we understand the nuances of patient acquisition in mental health, from HIPAA compliance to the patient journey for treatment-resistant depression. Our approach is 100% focused on direct patient acquisition—helping clinics become profitable faster so they can reinvest in other marketing efforts if desired.
While our core expertise is in TMS, Spravato, and ketamine clinics, we also work with psychiatry, psychotherapy, and mental health practices that are looking to grow through direct patient acquisition strategies.
We focus on patient intent, messaging, and automation to filter out unqualified leads. This includes:
Generating leads is just the first step. We also help nurture and qualify those leads through:
Most clinics start seeing an increase in lead volume within the first 30 days. However, conversion into scheduled patients typically takes 60-90 days, depending on factors like patient demand, intake efficiency, and ad spend.
We strictly focus on paid media (Google, Meta, TikTok ads, etc.) because it delivers faster, more predictable results for patient acquisition. However, we work with trusted partners who specialize in SEO, website optimization, and content marketing, and we’d be happy to connect you with them.
Our focus is on direct patient acquisition through advertising and automation. While we don’t offer branding, website development, or traditional full-service marketing, we provide proven tools and strategies to optimize your operations and maximize profitability. If you need broader marketing services, we can refer you to credible partners who specialize in that scope.
We believe reporting should be insight-driven rather than one-size-fits-all. Through our CRM and reporting tools, we provide real-time access to key metrics, including:
Rather than providing static reports, we focus on custom reporting solutions that help clinics make data-driven decisions.
We use Google Search Ads to capture high-intent patients actively searching for treatments like TMS and Spravato. Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Ads help educate and engage potential patients by delivering compelling creative that resonates with the right audience.
Our targeting approach is driven by data aggregation and real patient outcomes, rather than traditional demographic or behavioral targeting. Key elements include:
We track ROI by measuring:
If leads aren’t converting, we analyze:
The most effective way to increase internal patient referrals is by identifying existing patients who may be a good fit for interventional psychiatric treatments like TMS or Spravato. This involves:
We provide structured training and processes to help clinics implement this effectively.
Our proven strategic approach focuses on leveraging patient outcomes to create new external referring providers. This includes:
Additionally, we offer templates and marketing materials to support outreach efforts.
No, we don’t build these relationships for you, as this is most effective when done internally by your clinic. However, we provide a step-by-step strategy to guide your team on how to do this effectively. Our training includes:
We recommend starting with digital marketing, as it provides direct ROI and immediate patient acquisition, which can fund other marketing and sales efforts.
A balanced approach works best, with roughly 33% of patient acquisition efforts coming from each pillar:
If one pillar is underperforming, the others should be scaled accordingly to maintain steady patient flow.
For a new clinic, the most effective strategy involves:
1. Identifying internal referrals → The fastest route to ROI is recognizing existing patients already visiting the clinic who are candidates for interventional psychiatric treatments.
2. Launching digital marketing campaigns → Paid media drives direct patient acquisition and generates demand based on ad spend.
3. Developing an external referral system → Establishing new relationships with local providers to create a steady flow of external referrals.
This three-pillar approach ensures both short-term patient acquisition and long-term practice growth.
Our onboarding process is designed to ensure a smooth launch while setting your clinic up for long-term success. Here’s what to expect:
1. Kick-Off Call → Our teams meet to discuss goals, strategy, and alignment to ensure we are working toward the same vision.
2. Campaign & CRM Setup → We build out your ad campaigns, set up your CRM, and ensure all systems are properly integrated.
3. Training & Best Practices → We provide CRM training, lead conversion training, and administrative best practices to help your team maximize efficiency.
4. Launch → Once everything is in place, we officially launch your marketing campaigns and patient acquisition systems.
5. Optimization & Refinement → We closely monitor early performance and make necessary refinements to ensure everything is moving in the right direction.
6. Ongoing Performance Tracking & Optimization → We provide continuous insights, reporting, and adjustments to maximize your ROI and improve patient acquisition over time.
Yes. Our minimum contract length is 12 months, as we are committed to long-term relationships and sustainable growth. However, in some cases, we can offer a six-month, zero-dollar opt-out, effectively making it a six-month agreement.
We only work with clinics that are fully committed to growth, as long-term collaboration leads to the best patient acquisition outcomes.
Our pricing depends on the services you need. We offer Essentials, Advanced, and Master tiers, with pricing starting at $1,995 per month.
We believe in a highly collaborative approach—our most successful clients are the ones who engage proactively with us.
Your team’s involvement includes:
• Collaboration on strategy and refinement of processes
• Active participation in training sessions and optimizations
• Commitment to improving intake and conversion rates
Without active collaboration, we cannot guarantee success. Our role is not just to drive leads but to help optimize the full patient journey, and that requires a strong partnership.
Yes, we can integrate with your existing intake team and provide:
• Training and active monitoring to improve efficiency
• Unlimited one-on-one training sessions for your entire team

We ensure that your intake team is fully equipped to handle and convert leads effectively.
We provide a comprehensive training and optimization program to help clinics convert more leads into scheduled patients. This includes:
• On-demand courses covering intake best practices and patient engagement
• Best practices for handling leads and improving scheduling rates
• Templates and resources to support patient follow-ups and clinical operations
• Automated text messaging and drip campaigns to maintain engagement when the intake team is unavailable
Our approach ensures that no patient falls through the cracks, and your team is always equipped with the right tools to maximize conversions.
