As a mental health counselor, your website isn’t just a digital business card—it’s a trust-building tool that helps clients feel safe before they ever step into your office.
You need a site that:
✔ Clearly explains your specialties (like EMDR therapy)
✔ Makes booking sessions effortless
✔ Reflects your values (especially for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients)
✔ Ranks well on Google so local clients can find you
While DIY website builders like Wix are great for starting out, a professional designer can elevate your site with:
But how do you find the right designer—and avoid costly mistakes?
A designer should have examples of therapy or healthcare websites they’ve built. If their portfolio is all e-commerce or unrelated industries, they may not understand your needs.
You deserve clear deadlines and regular updates. Avoid designers who:
Your website must rank for terms like “EMDR therapist in Rochester.” If a designer doesn’t mention SEO, your site may look pretty—but stay invisible on Google.
You should be able to easily update your site after launch. Avoid designers who:
Check Google, Upwork, or LinkedIn for client feedback. If a designer can’t show verified reviews, proceed with caution.

The right designer will:
✅ Specialize in therapist websites (they understand HIPAA considerations, booking tools, and calming design)
✅ Focus on SEO (helping you rank for local searches)

✅ Provide clear timelines (so your project doesn’t drag on for months)
✅ Use Wix (so you can easily edit your site later)
Hey, I’m Kim, a web designer who helps mental health professionals like you create websites that:
Prices vary, but a professional Wix site typically ranges from $00 (depending on features like booking, SEO, and branding). Avoid “cheap” designers—you’ll often pay more to fix mistakes later.
Most sites take 4–8 weeks from start to launch. Beware of designers who promise “24-hour websites”—they’re usually using generic templates.
Yes! I build on Wix, which is easy to edit. I’ll also train you on making simple updates.
Many designers (including me) offer flexible payment options to ease upfront costs.
Your counseling website should be as professional, welcoming, and effective as you are. If you’re tired of sifting through unreliable freelancers or agencies that don’t “get” therapists, let’s talk.
