What does a website for therapy practices need?
The essentials every PageSimple site for therapy practices is built around, on top of the fast, mobile-ready foundation every page gets:
Who you help, in their words
Anxiety, couples, grief, teens: the concerns people actually search for, written warmly and plainly.
Your approach and credentials
Your licence, modalities and what a first session is like, so the right clients recognise a fit.
Fees, insurance and telehealth
Your rates or the plans you accept, sliding-scale options and whether you see clients online.
A gentle way to reach out
A short, low-pressure contact form or a link to book a free consultation call.
A calm design
Soft colours, generous space and nothing flashing. The page should lower the heart rate, not raise it.
Crisis information
A clear note that you’re not an emergency service, with where to turn in a crisis.
Common website mistakes we fix
- Clinical jargon instead of the words clients use to describe what they’re going through
- No mention of fees or insurance, which leaves people guessing
- A contact form that asks for detailed mental health history
- Busy, high-energy design that feels like a sales page
- No photo of you, the person they’d be talking to
What does it cost?
The same flat price as every PageSimple site, whether it’s your first website or a redesign: $1,000 for the design, build and launch, then $5 a month for hosting, updates and support. Most sites go live in 5 to 7 days. See everything that’s included.

Frequently asked questions
- Can clients book a consultation from my website?
- Yes. If you use an online scheduling or practice-management tool, we link to its booking page. Otherwise we keep the contact form short and gentle.
- Is it safe to have a contact form on a therapy website?
- Yes, if it only asks for the basics: a name, contact details and a short note. Clinical intake belongs in your practice-management or client-portal software, not a general website form.
- Should I list my fees on my website?
- Most clients appreciate it. Listing your session fee, insurance plans and any sliding-scale options answers a question people are often too shy to ask.
- Do I still need a website if I’m listed in therapist directories?
- Directories help people find you, but your own website is where they decide. It lets you explain your approach in your own voice and gives directory visitors somewhere to land.
- Do I need an existing website?
- No. If you don’t have a website yet, we build your first one from scratch, for the same flat $1,000 and in the same 5 to 7 days. If you do have one, we redesign it and carry over what’s worth keeping. Either way, the page is written for therapy practices.
