Built for Healthcare & Wellness

We specialize in practices where people need to trust you before they reach out and where generic marketing simply doesn't work.

Medical Practices & Specialty Clinics

We've partnered with endocrinologists, neurologists, pediatric specialists, and more. We understand the client journey, the trust barriers, and how to communicate complex care in a way that builds confidence and fills your calendar.

Wellness & Integrative Health

Massage, wellness centers, EFT practitioners, integrative health providers your people need to understand what you do before they believe in it. We create education-first content and campaigns that earn trust before they ever contact you.

Therapists, Coaches & Mental Health

Life coaches, therapists, and mental health professionals operate in the most trust-sensitive space in healthcare. Our psychology background isn't just relevant here it's essential. We help you attract people who are genuinely ready to work with you.

How We Help Your Practice Grow

Four core services, each designed around how healthcare and wellness clients actually research, decide, and take action.

Our Process Built for Healthcare

Every engagement follows a four-step framework grounded in behavioral research, designed around the way people actually make healthcare decisions.

1

Practice Discovery

We learn your specialty, client profile, competitive landscape, and what makes your practice the right choice. Every decision that follows is grounded in your specific context not a generic healthcare template.

2

Trust Strategy

We map the client journey from first search to first appointment and identify exactly where trust needs to be built. We design messaging and content that moves people from curious to confident.

3

Execute

We launch campaigns, publish content, and manage every channel. You stay fully informed without having to manage the details. We handle it and we communicate clearly, always.

4

Optimize

We track what's working, refine what isn't, and build on momentum month over month. Healthcare marketing compounds over time and we stay to see it through.

Your People Think Before They Book.
We Build Marketing Around That.

Citrine Research and Consulting is led by Dr. Sonja Elcic, who holds a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology the science of how people make decisions, form trust, and take action. In healthcare, that matters more than anywhere else.

People don't choose a neurologist, endocrinologist, or wellness provider on impulse. They search, read, compare, and decide slowly. Most marketing agencies miss this entirely, running campaigns built for quick conversions in low-stakes categories. We don't. Every piece of content, every ad, and every email we create is designed around the actual psychology of their decision-making process.

Unlike freelancers, you get a full team with cross-channel expertise. Unlike large agencies, your work is personally overseen by Dr. Elcic not handed off to a junior account manager. And unlike generalist agencies, healthcare and wellness is where we focus. That repetition creates pattern recognition you simply can't buy elsewhere.

Questions About Working With Us

Common questions from healthcare and wellness practices considering a marketing partnership.

Most marketing agencies treat healthcare like any other industry they apply the same tactics, the same content templates, and the same ad strategies. We don't. Our work is led by Dr. Sonja Elcic, a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, which means every strategy we build is grounded in how people actually think, evaluate risk, form trust, and make decisions. That's a different foundation entirely and it shows in the results.

Healthcare, wellness, and expert-led service businesses are our primary focus. We've worked with endocrinologists, neurologists, pediatric specialists, EFT practitioners, wellness centers, massage therapists, life coaches, and healthcare software companies. These are the businesses where our psychology background creates the most value and where we have the deepest pattern recognition from real client work.

Industrial-Organizational psychology is the scientific study of how people make decisions, what motivates action, and how trust is built. In healthcare marketing, this is the core challenge people are cautious, information-seeking, and emotionally invested before they ever contact a provider. We apply research-backed principles to every piece of content, every ad campaign, and every email so that your marketing meets people where they actually are in their decision process.

We offer four core services: social media management, educational content and blog writing, email newsletters, and paid advertising through Google Ads and Meta Ads. Every service is designed specifically for the healthcare and wellness context including trust-building messaging, educational content strategy, and compliance awareness.

Our packages are customized based on your practice size, specialty, and goals. Social media management packages typically range from $2,000 to $10,000 per month. We recommend a free discovery call first so we can understand your specific situation and give you an accurate, honest estimate no pressure and no obligation.

Yes. We work with healthcare and wellness clients across the United States through virtual collaboration. Strategy sessions, content review, and campaign reporting all run seamlessly via video calls and shared project tools. Location has never been a barrier for our clients.

Unlike a freelancer, you get a full team with cross-channel capability and a structured process. Unlike a large agency, your account is personally overseen by Dr. Elcic not handed to a junior account manager who rotates every six months. And unlike both, we are specifically focused on healthcare and wellness. You're not one of a hundred verticals we serve. This is where we work.

Yes. We offer a free discovery call where we learn about your practice, discuss your goals, and explore whether we're a good fit for each other. No hard sell, no obligation. You can book directly at citrineresearchandconsulting.com/contact or call us at (602) 789-4875.
