What Other Therapists Are Saying

![Natasha Snipes, therapist]()
"I was so excited about how easy the template made the process of creating my website. Thank you Melissa for creating these templates, making them affordable, and so easy to use! With everything else that is needed when starting a private practice, this was one less complication.”
–Natasha Snipes
-
![Brittany Hautz, therapist]()
"I am someone who knows what she wants, and I needed a template that understood therapy websites. Melissa's templates hit that need perfectly. I have appreciated Melissa's support as I made the Shine Template my own. Her process has empowered me to curate my vision with a supportive guide - exactly what I was looking for!"
–Brittany Hautz
-
![Cara Kraft, therapist]()
“I wanted a website that would help me develop a "brand" for myself, but also didn't have a lot of time to invest in doing it on my own. The template was super easy to use and setup with no background in website design. Using a template is such a timesaver and allows you to use your time investing in clients and building your practice vs. the nitty gritty of website design.”
–Cara Kraft
-
![Vatara Scott, therapist]()
“I am absolutely in love with my new site and couldn't believe how easy it was for me to build. It was easily customizable and user-friendly. The saved sections were a life saver for me. I also found the included modules to be helpful for any additional questions or concerns. It's a small investment that will continue to pay for itself & so so easy.”
–Vatara Scott
-
![Felishatee Rodriguez, therapist]()
"Overall, my experience with this website template has been nothing short of exceptional. The template itself, the support from Melissa, and the comprehensive resources provided have contributed to a seamless and rewarding journey. Without hesitation, I will continue to highly recommend these templates and Melissa's services to others."
–Felishatee Rodriguez
-
![Amanda Fox, therapist]()
"I never thought I could design a website. I had no idea where to start. Melissa's template gave me structure. It removed my fear of the blank page, so I could focus on my written message to potential clients. With some structure I could experiment, so the process of creating the actual website was easy and enjoyable. I'm proud of myself and what I have created and have already gotten great feedback from others!"
–Amanda Fox

Squarespace pricing guide -
Nope! These templates are 100% my own designs, layouts, and logic. I use custom code to achieve certain visions that I have (and I also write the code myself). Each one is based on my years of experience as a therapist and as a web designer for therapists.
Sometimes I use AI, to help me create the sample writing t in the template. That content is meant to be replaced by the customer and is there to serve as an example only. Please make sure to replace that content with your own original ideas!
As a one-woman business I use AI to help with some things, but overall prefer my own brain in most situations 😆
