For therapists
Describe your practice. Get its website.
Not a template with your name dropped into it. You say who you work with, how you work and what a session costs, and the pages are written and built around that.
What a practice site is actually for
Someone deciding whether to call you.
A therapy website has one reader and one job: a person working out, quite carefully, whether you are the right person to contact. Almost everything that matters to them is on this list — and template galleries are not organised around any of it.
Who you work with
The first thing a reader is looking for and the thing most sites bury. Adults, adolescents, couples; anxiety, trauma, bereavement, chronic illness. People self-select on this paragraph, and getting it specific is what stops the wrong enquiries as much as it starts the right ones.
How you actually work
The modalities, in the words you would use out loud rather than the ones on a training certificate. How long a session is, how many people usually come for, what a first appointment is like. This is the part that turns interest into a phone call.
Fees, and insurance
The question people leave a site to find out, and often do not come back from. What a session costs, whether you keep sliding-scale places, which insurers you are on. Saying it plainly is not indelicate — it is the thing that lets somebody decide.
Where you are, and online
The neighbourhood, whether there is parking or a lift, which days you are in the room and which days you are online, and where you are licensed to practise. All ordinary details, all of them a reason somebody either can or cannot come to you.
Your qualifications
Licence and registration, stated once and clearly, without becoming the whole page. It is the thing that makes the rest believable, and it is a paragraph rather than a section.
How to reach you
Your number, your email and a map — on every page, not only on a Contact page somebody has to go and find. See below for what this product does not do here, because it matters more for a practice than for most businesses.
What it looks like in practice
Two sentences, and then edits.
What you type
“I’m a licensed counsellor. I see adults for anxiety and grief, mostly CBT and some EMDR. In the room Tuesdays and Thursdays, online the rest of the week. Sessions are 50 minutes, and I keep two lower-cost places for students.”
Then, later, in the same box: “Add a page about working with grief.” “Take the Tuesday line out, I’m online only until March.” “Make the fees clearer.”
What you get
- A home page that opens with who you work with, not with a stock photograph.
- A page on how you work, in the words you used.
- Fees and insurance, stated where somebody can find them.
- Your room, your days, and whether you see people online.
- Your number and email on every page.
All of it written for a practice rather than assembled from parts, and all of it a draft until you press Publish.
Before you start
What it will not do.
Said here rather than left to the small print, because a therapist reading about their own website will reasonably assume some of it.
There is no enquiry form, and no intake form. Nothing on the site can be filled in and sent. Your number, your email and a map are how people reach you. If a form is how referrals arrive for you, this is not the right tool today.
There is no booking or client portal, and no logins of any kind. Scheduling, notes and anything a client signs stay in whatever you already use for them.
Which has one consequence worth stating plainly: because there is nothing for a client to submit, no client information passes through us at all. That is a description of a product with no forms in it, not a claim about your obligations — those are about your records and intake systems, and a website that only publishes what you wrote does not change them.
Questions from practices
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. You describe your practice the way you would describe it to a colleague, and the pages are written and laid out for you. Changing something later is another sentence rather than a support ticket.
Can clients book or contact me through the site?
Not yet, and this is the honest limitation for a practice. There is no enquiry form, no intake form and no booking. Your site can show your phone number, your email address and a map, and people reach you by those. If a form is essential to how you take referrals, this is not the right tool for you today.
Is my client information safe on it?
There is nothing for clients to submit, so no client information passes through us at all — no forms, no portal, no accounts. That is a description of what the product does rather than a compliance claim: if you have obligations about how client data is handled, they are about your intake and records systems, not about a website that only publishes what you wrote.
Can I write about the approaches I use?
Yes, and it is usually the part that does the most work — people choose a therapist on whether the description of the work sounds like what they need. You can have as many pages as you want to write. There is no blog engine with categories and archives, so a handful of articles is fine and a weekly publication is not what this is.
What does it cost to keep online?
Credits, and only credits. Your first site comes with 100 of them free, which is enough to build the site and leave it running while you decide. After that a pack from $19 covers both editing and keeping it live, and nothing renews on its own.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, at no extra charge, and the padlock is turned on and kept on for you. Until you are ready, the site is live on a free address at mightybuilder.site.
