Trust
The site does not sound clear enough or credible enough.
The homepage is broad, the specialty pages are thin, or the copy sounds like every other therapist site in town.
If the site is the bottleneck
Your website should make fit obvious in 10 seconds.
The right people are reaching your site but still not contacting you. That usually means the copy is too broad, the trust signals are missing, or the booking path is unclear. A site built around your practice fixes that.
One-time build on a platform you controlTrust, clarity, and conversion before extra complexity4 to 6 week delivery for most projects
When this fits
Fix the site when people land there and still do not reach out.
The website is rarely the first place to guess. It is the right next step when the practice already has traffic or referrals reaching the site and the site is not helping the person take the next step.
Flow
People are getting confused between interest and contact.
They are landing, reading, and disappearing because the contact path, booking flow, or “start here” logic is weak.
Build
You need an owned asset, not a permanent website subscription.
The goal is a site that is easier to trust, easier to edit, and easier to keep after the project is done.
Page review standard
Last reviewed March 16, 2026.
This page is written for practices where the website is already the visible bottleneck, not as a claim that every therapist needs a rebuild first.
Pricing and subscription comparisons referenced here were checked against live public pages on March 13, 2026. If a competitor changes its pricing or packaging, the live source should win.
“One recent engagement: a solo practice therapist went from 2 clients to 5-6 new client inquiries within the first months of working together.”
"I pay $200/month for a website I can't even take with me."
That changes here.

Common Questions
Questions therapists ask about websites.
If yours isn't here, email us. We answer everything personally.
How much does a therapist website cost?+
The therapist website fix starts at $2,497 for a semi-custom build or rebuild. That covers the core pages, copy shaping, booking flow, SEO foundations, and handoff. If the project is larger than that, we scope it clearly before starting.
Do I own my website?+
Yes. Built on WordPress or Squarespace. Your files, your content, your domain. If you ever leave, take everything with you. Free export, no strings.
Why don't you charge monthly like Brighter Vision?+
Brighter Vision is a therapist-specific website subscription platform. As checked on March 13, 2026, its pricing page listed plans at $99, $125, and $349 per month plus a $100 setup fee. We use a one-time build model on platforms you control because many therapists want the site to be an owned asset rather than an ongoing website subscription.
Is the website HIPAA compliant?+
We build HIPAA-ready sites with SSL, secure forms, and privacy-respecting analytics. For full HIPAA intake forms, we integrate with Jotform HIPAA or your EHR's built-in forms.
How long does it take?+
4-6 weeks from discovery call to launch. Depends on feedback speed and content needs.
Do you write the copy?+
Yes. Full website copywriting is included. We write copy optimized for SEO and client conversion. If you already have copy you love, we'll work with it.
Can I update it myself?+
Yes. WordPress and Squarespace let you make updates without technical skills. We include training and a guide.
What platform do you build on?+
WordPress or Squarespace. WordPress for more flexibility and SEO control. Squarespace for easier self-maintenance. We recommend the best fit during discovery.
Can you redesign my existing site?+
Yes. Redesign on your current platform or migrate to a better one. We preserve your SEO rankings in the process.
Do you integrate with SimplePractice?+
Yes. SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, Acuity, Calendly. Online booking integration is included.
What if I need more than a website?+
If the website is only part of the problem, we can look at the larger Visibility Fix first or scope the next step after the site is in place. I would rather do this in the right order than sell you a bigger package too early.
Do you offer payment plans?+
Yes. We offer a 3-payment plan so you can spread the cost over 3 months. We can confirm fit and timing after the Practice Visibility Assessment.
What should a therapist website include?+
At minimum: a clear homepage that communicates who you help and how, individual pages for your core specialties, a simple booking path, an about page that builds trust, and basic SEO so potential clients can find you. HIPAA-ready forms, mobile responsiveness, and fast load times are also non-negotiable for a therapy practice site.
After the site is in place
Monthly search support.
This comes after the site is live and the core pages are doing their job.

Look at the full Practice Visibility Assessment.
When PT, Google, and the site are all a bit thin, it helps to look at them together instead of guessing.
Start with the Practice Visibility AssessmentYour next client will visit your website before they ever call. Make it count.
If the site is clearly the weak point, we can scope the rebuild from there. If you are still sorting out whether it is the site, PT, or Google, the Practice Visibility Assessment will help you figure that out first.
