Website for therapists: professional, ethical and live within 24 hours

A YourSite24h website for therapists is a professional site built around your full name, credentials and the license number you give us in the briefing, the details most state and provincial licensing boards expect in advertising. It also covers your approach, who you work with, in-person or telehealth sessions, and a discreet way to reach you by contact form, phone or email. It costs $197 (1 page), $397 (up to 5 pages) or $797 (up to 10 pages), one-time, plus $19/month for hosting & maintenance. It goes live within 24 hours of a completed briefing and approved payment, backed by a 7-day money-back guarantee.

A website for therapists is your professional home on the internet: it shows your credentials, approach, the clients you work with, whether you see people in person or by telehealth, and your license number, and it lets a prospective client reach out discreetly through a contact form, a call or an email. It is not an EHR or a teletherapy platform: it is your own address on the web. With YourSite24h, it is live within 24 hours of a completed briefing and approved payment, costs from $197 (one-time) plus $19/month for hosting & maintenance, and is written with advertising ethics in mind (APA Ethics Code, Standard 5, and your state or provincial board).

Yes. Licensing boards don't ban advertising your practice. They regulate how you do it. The details vary by state, province and profession, but most follow the same principles as Standard 5 of the APA Ethics Code (public statements and advertising). When you promote your services, you:

1. list your full name, degree, license type and license number (and the state or province that issued it, where required);
2. claim only credentials, training and specialties you actually hold;
3. make no false, misleading or deceptive statements;
4. never guarantee outcomes or promise a cure;
5. don't solicit testimonials from current clients or others vulnerable to undue influence;
6. state fees, insurance and cancellation terms accurately and clearly;
7. don't run down other professionals to promote yourself;
8. avoid sensational or pressure-based marketing.

In the UK, the same spirit applies through your regulator or professional body (HCPC, BPS, BACP or UKCP) and the ASA advertising rules. When in doubt, check with your board or association before you publish.

Yes, as long as your license allows it. The usual rule is that you must be licensed in the state or province where the client is located at the time of the session (some states participate in compacts such as PSYPACT). On your site, say clearly whether you see clients in person, online or both, and which states or regions you serve. That one line saves you a lot of mismatched inquiries.

Client testimonials: because of confidentiality and the rules on testimonials, many therapists leave them off entirely. With YourSite24h it is your call: choose "I don't have any" in the testimonials step of the briefing and the site is built without that section.

• Calm, welcoming design: in the briefing you pick colors and the feel of the site (for example, "Warm and approachable"), with no flashy banners, countdown timers or "limited spots" pressure.
• Your name and license number on the site: the professional license is a required briefing field for health professionals.
• A discreet contact path: a short contact form, click-to-call and email. If you like, we can add an optional WhatsApp chat button, but it is never the only way to reach you.
• Local search ready: clear location, service area and a setup that works well with your Google Business Profile, so people searching for a therapist near them can find you.
• Fees on your terms: in the briefing choose "Don't show" for pricing, or put your rate, insurance and sliding scale in the site's FAQ, which you also fill in during the briefing.

Details and comparison on Pricing.

With YourSite24h: $197, $397 or $797 (one-time, depending on the number of pages) plus $19/month for hosting & maintenance, which covers hosting, SSL, email support and small updates. A logo and brand kit is optional for $99. See how this compares with the market in How much does a website cost.

In year one, the total is $368 on Starter, $568 on Professional and $968 on Premium: the plan price plus a year of hosting & maintenance at $19/month. After that, you only pay the monthly fee ($228 per year), and you can cancel anytime. A custom domain and branding are optional and not included in these totals.

Directories like Psychology Today and social media help people find you, but you live by their rules and their layout, right next to other clinicians. Your website is your space: it ranks on Google under your name, explains your approach without a character limit and sends inquiries straight to your inbox. Most therapists use both and link their website from their directory profile and Instagram bio.

Do you work in a practice with psychiatrists or other physicians? Each professional follows their own board's rules. See the website for doctors.

Mental health information is highly sensitive. Keep the contact form to a name, a way to reach the person and a short message, with no fields like "describe your symptoms" or "diagnosis". Clinical conversations belong in session or in your secure, HIPAA-compliant intake system, not in a website form that lands in regular email. A privacy policy page covering GDPR (UK/EU) and CCPA (California) is available on request.
