Web Design for Therapists
I’ll transform one of our templates into a beautiful, thoughtfully-crafted website just for you. Built with mobile-friendliness and SEO in mind and ready to launch in just 5 days.
Why is web design for therapists different?
You aren’t selling candles. You’re in the business of relationships and your clients need to establish a high level of trust before hiring you.
You need to reach clients without being “salesy” or unethical.
You need to show your human side, but also your reliability and expertise.
You want a website that stands out, but still feels soothing to clients in distress.
You are probably a team of one-you don’t have a marketing department. So you need things to be simple and easy to manage on your own.
You need to work with someone who gets you–and that’s me!
Here's what you’ll get with the Website-in-a-Week Service:
A customized Squarespace website up to 6 pages
Professionally edited content that speaks to your ideal client and aligns with you
Foundational SEO to help clients find you
Mobile-friendly, responsive design
Easy, basic training on how to update your site
Confidence in knowing your website is not only unique and beautiful but working hard for you

Why choose me?
-
I'll help you with writing.
Writing is the hardest part of website creation. Other studios ask you to come with your content ready in hand, but not me.
I have the tools to help you write your content and I love helping with this part. Having professional help with your writing makes your website so much more impactful–plus you don’t have to agonize over it yourself.
-
I know private practice.
As a former full-time private practice therapist I get what it’s like being in your shoes. I’ve now dedicated years to helping hundreds of therapists build their online presence with my own special mix of clinical know-how and digital expertise.
I can help you showcase your approach online, authentically and ethically.

She has lived experience as a therapist and ties this knowledge with her eye and expertise in design and the written word. And in the meantime, she helps and encourages her clients to stay on task and create something they love.The process of working with her was pretty magical! She took my ideas and helped me pull together a look and text that I love."

FAQs & Things to Keep in Mind
So we're all on the same page about how I’m able to keep this service fast & value-packed…
I’m here to guide and edit your written content with our Writing Guide, not write content for you from scratch.
We’ll customize one of our Squarespace templates for you, not code a new site from the ground up.
Want extra features like blogs or booking systems? No problem, we can add those to any template!
We only take on one project per month, and you get our undivided attention for that week. We can’t do work beyond your scheduled week, so you will need to be ready to roll when it’s your time!
-
Yes! You may split your payments into as many as 6 monthly payments ($750/month for 6 months).
-
No. As of now, I do not offer that as a service. You will need to be prepared to start with a brand-new website in Squarespace (chosen from one of our Squarespace Templates).
-
If you purchased it in Squarespace, absolutely!
If you purchased it from a third-party (like Google or BlueHost, etc.), it’s totally possible to move it over!
But, I recommend getting free help from Squarespace Customer Support to do this process. I charge an additional fee of $125 for moving third-party domains as it can be time-consuming.
-
Nope! The template is included, no extra charge. You can pick any template from our template shop!
In some cases I may be able to customize a third-party template, so please inquire!
-
We can build from any of our templates so go with the one that you like the look of most!
If you’re not sure, we can help you choose in our initial planning call!
-
No problem! I will add the pages you need as part of this service. Just choose the template that is closest to the style/look/feel that you want.
If you’re not sure, I can help you choose in our initial planning call!
-
I will cover expectations during our on-boarding but don’t worry, you don’t have to clear your schedule for a whole week!
-
Yep! While you do need to provide photos of yourself, I can help you with choosing stock photos that blend beautifully with the design of the site. I generally source from free stock photos so usually it’s no additional cost to you.
Ready to give your online presence the glow-up it deserves?
Heads up: I only take on a limited number of projects each month, so snag your spot before they're gone!
