FAQ:
Top Questions Therapists Ask Before Investing in a Website
Thinking about redesigning your website or building one from scratch? You’re not alone. These are the most common questions we hear from group practice owners and private clinicians who want a site that actually brings in clients—without the tech stress.Here are the most common questions we get from group practices and counseling clinics looking to grow online — including what’s working now and what’s coming next with AI-driven search.
Should I pay for a web designer?
Yes—if you want a website that actually works for your practice. A professional designer understands how to build trust online, showcase your expertise, and convert visitors into real client inquiries. DIY tools may seem simple, but they rarely perform well in search rankings or lead to bookings. Your time is better spent doing therapy—not wrestling with tech.
Is it worth paying someone to do my website?
Absolutely. A strategically built website isn’t just a digital brochure—it’s a marketing asset. When done right, your site will rank on Google, attract ideal clients, and reduce your need for manual outreach or referrals. It pays for itself by filling your calendar and growing your practice.
How much should I be paying for a website?
It depends on the size, scope, and goals of your website. A simple 5–6 page site (Home, About, Services, Contact, Blog) with SEO, copywriting, and full setup typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,000.
If you’re running a larger group practice with multiple specialties, locations, or need 20+ pages (e.g. individual service pages, clinician bios, location-specific SEO landing pages), expect an investment between $8,000 and $16,000+.
We tailor each project to fit your practice’s size and growth goals. One thing's certain: cutting corners on strategy or SEO can cost more in missed clients than investing in a site that converts from day one.
What’s the average cost of a therapist website?
Most solo or small-group therapists invest $2,000–$6,000 for a professionally built, conversion-optimized website with foundational SEO.
However, if you’re building a more robust website with 15, 25, or even 30+ pages—for things like specialties, team bios, blog libraries, or multiple clinic locations—your total may land closer to $5,000–$16,000+.
At Counseling & Therapy SEO, we don’t do cookie-cutter. Every project is scoped based on your practice’s unique needs, so you only pay for what helps you grow.
How much does a professionally designed website cost?
A professionally designed site isn’t just about looking good—it’s about ranking well, building trust, and bringing in new clients.
For a lean site (around 5–16 pages), you’ll likely pay between $2,000–$6,000. For a larger, multi-page site—think full team bios, specialized service pages, blog content hubs, or multi-location optimization—the cost typically ranges from $6,000 to $16,000+, depending on complexity.
We offer flexible solutions for solo therapists, growing clinics, and multi-location group practices—so your investment matches your goals and capacity.
Do I really need a website as a therapist?
Yes—especially if you want to attract private pay clients and stand out in a competitive market. Your website helps clients feel safe and understood before they ever contact you. It also boosts your visibility in local searches like “therapist near me”—something Psychology Today alone can’t do.
How long does it take to design a website?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your website—but here's a helpful guide:
Smaller Sites:
Simple 5–10 page websites typically take 6–8 weeks to complete. These include core pages like Home, About, Services, and Contact, along with foundational SEO and copywriting.Mid-Size Sites:
Sites with 10–25 pages, multiple services, blog setup, or advanced SEO usually take 8–12 weeks, depending on content needs and client feedback.Large Practice Sites:
More complex sites—like those for multi-location clinics, 25+ pages, custom workflows, or advanced integrations—take 12–16 weeks or more.Enterprise or Specialty Builds:
These full-scale, content-heavy projects can take 4–6 months, especially if custom functionality, multi-language support, or detailed HIPAA workflows are required.
We make the process as smooth and hands-off as possible. Our team handles strategy, copy, design, SEO, and development—so you can stay focused on your practice while we build your most valuable marketing asset.
Can’t I just use Wix or Squarespace?
You can—but you’ll likely end up with a generic site that doesn’t rank, convert, or reflect your practice. Our websites are built to attract your ideal clients, earn trust instantly, and show up in search results. Plus, we take care of the strategy, so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Will a website help me get more clients?
100%. A high-converting website can consistently generate new inquiries—especially when paired with SEO and a clear message. It’s one of the most effective ways to grow a steady stream of ideal clients without relying only on word-of-mouth or referral directories.
Do people still need web designers?
Yes—especially if you want results, not just a digital placeholder. Templates and DIY builders can’t replace strategy, SEO expertise, or conversion design. A web designer who understands therapy marketing can help you stand out, book more clients, and avoid the tech overwhelm.
Ready to Transform Your Clinic's Online Presence?
If your calendar isn’t full, your website might be the reason. People start their search for help online so you can’t afford a site that’s hard to find or hard to use. At Counseling & Therapy SEO, we create websites that do more than look good—they get results.
