Challenges I Hear From Therapists Every Day

Does any of this sound familiar?

Templates feel too salesy

"My current site doesn't reflect how I actually work with clients. It feels generic and pushy."

Clients and AI tools cannot tell who you help

"People visit my site but don't understand my approach, specialties, or how to get started. The important details are scattered."

Privacy concerns with DIY forms

"I worry about accidentally collecting sensitive information through my contact forms. I need something secure."

More time fixing than practicing

"I spend hours wrestling with website builders when I should be seeing clients or resting."

That's exactly what this service solves.

A website that reflects your care, respects client privacy, and makes your public facts clear enough for modern discovery.

Why Therapists Choose Custom Over DIY

Clients can sense when your site was built with care. AI tools also need clear facts before they can describe your practice accurately.

Questions About Web Development for Therapists & Counselors

Common questions from therapists and counselors exploring custom website options.

Do you offer web development services for counselors as well as therapists?
Yes — my services cover all licensed mental health professionals including therapists (LMFT, LPC, LCSW, LMHC), psychologists, counselors, social workers, and group practices. Whether you're in private practice or a multi-clinician setting, I build a site tailored to your licensing, specialties, and geographic practice area.
What does web development for therapists actually include?
A complete therapy website project includes discovery and strategy, custom design (not templates), client-centered copywriting, SEO optimization for local therapy searches, integration with your EHR/scheduling platform (SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane, etc.), HIPAA-aware contact forms, schema markup so AI assistants can accurately describe your practice, and a full launch handoff with documentation. Most therapist sites are live within 4–6 weeks.
How much does a therapist or counselor website cost?
Most therapy and counseling websites are $4,000–$7,500 as a one-time custom build. You own the site outright with no ongoing platform fees. Optional managed hosting with proactive monitoring and updates starts at $60/month — no long-term contract required.
Why not use Psychology Today, TherapyDen, or a directory instead?
Directories are rented visibility. A custom site builds equity you own — search rankings, brand trust, and a client experience you control. Directories also give clients no reason to come back to you specifically. A well-built custom site also ranks for the specific specialties and populations you serve, which directories can't replicate.
Do you work with therapists outside Washington state?
Yes — I work with therapists and counselors remotely across the US. All discovery, design review, and launch sessions are done via video call. The full process works seamlessly regardless of location.

Let Your Website Make the First Match Clear

I've seen how hard it is for therapists to balance care with marketing. Your website should help good-fit clients understand your work before the consultation, so you can focus on the real conversations that matter.
