Every element is designed to help people, referrals, and AI assistants move from uncertainty to the right next step toward care.

Safety & Trust Infrastructure

Layout, messaging, and visual design reinforce confidentiality and calm while keeping PHI out of public channels.

  • Crisis resources and privacy notes positioned near every CTA
  • Client portal and SimplePractice Inquiry form handle all sensitive details
  • Accessible typography, color contrast, and trauma-informed spacing

Clear, Plain-Language Messaging

Service pages explain your approach in everyday words, so clients, referrals, search engines, and AI tools all understand who you help.

  • Plain-language explanations of your specialties, like trauma therapy, EMDR, and intensives
  • Therapist bios, credentials, and the states you're licensed in, shown next to clear next steps
  • Cross-links between services, FAQs, and resources for faster decisions

AI Visibility Foundation

Your practice details are organized so AI assistants can describe your services accurately, instead of guessing.

  • Schema markup for your practice, services, location, and booking paths
  • Clear paths for new-client inquiries, current clients, emergencies, and sensitive info
  • Optional AI visibility check to spot gaps before and after launch

Easy Scheduling Experience

Your "Request a Consultation" buttons stay consistent on desktop and mobile, guiding visitors into SimplePractice without confusion.

  • Sticky mobile button mirrors your main "Request a Consultation" action
  • Telehealth and in-person options shown clearly in every key section
  • Thank-you page supports analytics goals and automated reminders

Transparent Pricing & Follow-up

Rates, policies, and follow-up automations are documented and easy to update after handoff.

  • Dedicated Rates page with session pricing, intensive fees, and payment language
  • “How this works” copy beside each rate for quick reassurance
  • Automation checklist covering confirmation email, 48-hour reminder, and secure intake link
  • Hands-free hosting + monitoring recommended, with documented off-boarding if you ever want to self-manage

What Therapists Tell Me Isn't Working

Most therapists I talk to are stuck on one of these four things.

A template that looks like everyone else

Off-the-shelf themes make your practice feel interchangeable and read as pushy, when your actual work with clients is anything but.

No one can tell who you actually help

Your specialties, approach, and next steps are scattered, so visitors leave unsure, and the AI tools that now summarize you have to guess.

DIY forms put client privacy at risk

A standard contact form can pull sensitive details into an unprotected inbox. Intake needs to keep protected health information where it belongs.

The site eats time you don't have

Hours spent fighting a website builder are hours not spent with clients, or resting.

These are the problems I build to fix.

A website that reflects your care, respects client privacy, and makes your practice easy to find and understand in Google and AI search.

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 the areas you serve.
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 to 6 weeks.
How much does a therapist or counselor website cost?
Most therapy and counseling websites are $4,000 to $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, with 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 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 happen over video call, so the process works the same whether you're local or across the country.

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.
