People look for a therapist at hard moments, often on a phone late at night, and decide in a few minutes whether a practice feels safe. We design calm, clear websites that answer their real questions and make the first call easy.
A fixed quote before any work begins. Prefer to talk? Book a call.
Someone looking for a therapist is often anxious, tired or in the middle of something hard. They are not comparing features. They are asking whether this person, and this practice, feels safe enough to call. Your website answers that in the first few seconds, mostly through tone: calm design, plain words and real people instead of stock photos of a couch.
Then it has to be practical. A visitor wants to know who they would see, what kind of therapy you offer, what it costs and how to take the first step. We design the site around those questions, connect it to the practice platform you already use, and build it so the people searching for your specialty can find you. We are a design and technology studio in Asheville, North Carolina, and we work with practices anywhere.
A trauma therapy practice where twice as many Google searchers now choose the site, and a training center for therapists whose clicks from Google grew 60% from May to August.

Six things we build into every practice site, whether you work alone or run a group practice with several clinicians.
Who would I see? What kind of therapy is this, and what will it feel like? What does it cost, and do you take my insurance? Each one gets an honest answer in everyday words.
We link or embed the client portal, booking and intake forms of the platform you already use, such as SimplePractice, TherapyNotes or Jane, so nothing clinical passes through the website.
Most people look for a therapist on their phone. The promise, the approach and the free consultation stack into one readable column, with the next step a tap away.
Real photos and bios that say who each clinician helps and how they work, so a visitor can picture the first session before they call.
Pages for each specialty and approach, such as EMDR, couples or anxiety therapy, plus your Google Business Profile, so you show up when someone nearby looks for help.
Built to WCAG 2.1 AA: real contrast, keyboard navigation, readable type and screen reader support. A practice that helps people should not have a door some of them cannot open.
Want a number first? The calculator starts with what most practices need and gives you a range in a minute.
We will tell you if you do not need us. If you are a solo clinician just starting out, the website that comes with your practice platform, or a template made for therapists, can be enough for now. It is quick, and it puts your name and a booking link online.
A custom site earns its cost when the template starts to hold you back: you have several clinicians or locations, you run groups or trainings for other clinicians, you want to rank for your specialty in Google, or you want the site to feel like your practice instead of a hundred others built from the same theme. That is the work we do. Already have a site that needs a refresh? See our website redesign service.
With online booking, a custom site for a solo or small group practice estimates at $4,750 to $6,750 for 1 to 5 pages, and $6,250 to $9,250 for 6 to 12 pages, for example a page per clinician and per specialty. Copywriting, a client login or a second language add to that. You get a fixed quote before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Care plans after launch start at $255/mo.
The fastest way to a number is the website cost calculator. It opens with what most practices need. Change anything, then send the estimate to us and book a kickoff call. See all of our published prices.
Every project moves through five steps. Here is what we need from you, what we do, and what you have in hand at the end of each.
| Step | You | Us | You get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01Listen | Tell us your goals, your audience and what is not working today. | Ask the hard questions and write down the answers. | A shared notebook with the brief we agree on. |
| 02Research | Share access to your site, analytics and anything you already know. | Study the market, the competitors and the searches. | Clear recommendations, with the reasons behind them. |
| 03Design | React honestly. Tell us what feels right and what does not. | Design the key pages, then refine them with you. | Approved designs for desktop, tablet and phone. |
| 04Build & test | Review the working site and send your content. | Build, connect your tools and test on every screen. | A working site you can click through before it goes live. |
| 05Launch & grow | Run your site, and tell us what you need next. | Launch, train your team and track the results. | A live site, a short training and the numbers that matter. |

Your website itself usually should not hold any health information, and the simplest way to keep it that way is to keep clinical details off it. We link or embed the intake, booking and messaging tools of the practice platform you already use and sign an agreement with, such as SimplePractice, TherapyNotes or Jane, and keep the website contact form to a name, an email and a short note. This is not legal advice, so check your own obligations with your platform or an advisor.
Yes. We link to or embed your platform’s client portal, booking widget and intake forms, so new clients book and fill in paperwork in the system you already run your practice on, and nothing clinical passes through the website.
A directory profile is a good start, but it lists you next to dozens of other clinicians and you do not control it. Your own site is where you can explain how you work, show who you are, answer cost and insurance questions, and show up in Google for the searches people make, such as an EMDR or couples therapist near them. Most practices do best with both, each linking to the other.
Sometimes, yes. If you are a solo clinician just starting out, a template from your practice platform or a builder made for therapists can be enough, and we will tell you so. A custom site makes sense when you have several clinicians or locations, run trainings or groups, need to rank in search, or want the site to feel like your practice rather than everyone else’s.
Most practice sites take from a few weeks to a couple of months from kickoff to launch. It depends on the number of pages, how custom the design is, and how ready your bios and service descriptions are. We plan the schedule with you at kickoff, so you know the launch date before work starts.
