Custom Website Design for Therapists Who Are Ready to Grow
A thoughtful, strategic website can help the right clients find you, understand what makes your practice different, and feel confident taking the next step.
Strong Roots offers custom website design for therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and group practices.
Together, we will build a website that feels true to your work and supports the practice you are becoming.
Ready for what comes next
Your practice has grown.
Your website should grow with it.
Maybe your current website was exactly what you needed when you opened your practice. But your work has evolved since then.
- Your practice has outgrown a do-it-yourself or template-based website.
- Your services have expanded, but visitors struggle to understand the full picture.
- Your website looks dated or does not reflect your personality, expertise, or values.
- You are relying too heavily on directories and referrals to bring in new clients.
- Your group practice needs clearer paths for different services, locations, or clinicians.
- You are ready for a website you feel genuinely proud to share.
You do not need to figure out the strategy, writing, design, and technology on your own. We will guide you through the process and bring all of those pieces together.

Strategy, writing, and design, thoughtfully woven together
Strong Roots has specialized in websites for mental health professionals since 2015. That experience means we understand the unusual balance your website needs to strike. It must feel warm and human while communicating real expertise. It must be easy to navigate without flattening the complexity of your work. And it must invite people to take action without making therapy feel like a commodity.
Every custom project brings together four essential pieces:
01
A strategy built around your practice
We begin by learning about your clients, services, goals, referral relationships, and long-term vision. Your site structure and messaging grow from that foundation.
02
Done-for-you website content
You will not be left staring at a blank page. Through a thoughtful interview and collaborative review process, we develop website content that sounds natural, communicates what matters, and helps potential clients understand why your practice may be the right fit.
03
A distinctive custom design
Your website will be designed around your personality, audience, and goals. We create a visual direction that feels cohesive and recognizable, without forcing your practice into a generic therapist aesthetic.
04
A reliable WordPress build
Your site will be responsive, thoughtfully organized, and built with the tools needed for forms, scheduling, newsletters, blogging, and future growth. We also provide guidance and optional ongoing support after launch.

Client Stories
Websites that support meaningful growth
New clients often compliment our website and say it was one of the factors that helped them decide we were who they wanted to work with.
The final result surpassed my expectations. The design is polished and aesthetically pleasing, and the information is well-structured, clear, and concise. Since launching the site, my business has skyrocketed.
Strong Roots did exactly that, rebuilding our site for speed and accessibility, hardening security, and stepping in with calm, decisive guidance. Since then, they have clarified our service pages and improved lead flow.
A clear, collaborative process
You will always know what we are working on, what comes next, and where your input is needed.
We start with an in-depth conversation about your practice, your ideal clients, your services, and where you want the business to go. From there, we establish the site structure and creative direction.
We turn what we learn into clear, engaging website content. You review the copy and help us make sure it sounds like you.
We create the visual direction for your site, including typography, color, imagery, and page layouts. You will have opportunities to review the work and share feedback.
Once the design is approved, we build the full WordPress website, connect the necessary tools, and make sure it looks and works beautifully on desktop and mobile.
We test the website carefully, make final refinements, and guide you through launch. You will also receive the information and support you need to feel comfortable moving forward.

Common questions about custom website design
How long does a custom website project take?
Most custom website projects take approximately 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Timing can vary based on the size of the website, the selected package, the review process, and how quickly requested materials and feedback are provided.
Do you write the website content?
Yes. Done-for-you website content is included in every custom package. We learn about your practice through an interview and collaborative process, then develop content that communicates your work clearly and naturally.
Can you redesign my existing therapist website?
Absolutely. Many of our custom projects begin with a website that a practice has outgrown. We can preserve what is still useful while rethinking the structure, messaging, design, and visitor experience.
Can you build a website for a group practice?
Yes. We regularly work with group practices, multi-location practices, and psychologists with complex services. We can create clear paths for services, clinicians, locations, evaluations, training, and other offerings.
What platform do you use?
We build custom websites in WordPress. It gives us the flexibility to create a distinctive site and allows the website to grow with your practice over time.
Will my website include SEO?
Every custom website is built with a clear structure and foundational on-page SEO considerations. Ongoing SEO strategy and content development are available separately for practices that want continuing support with search visibility.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. Hosting, maintenance, updates, and ongoing SEO support are available after launch, so you do not have to manage the technical side of your website alone.
Can I split the cost into payments?
Yes. Interest-free payment plans are available for up to six months at no additional cost.
How much does a custom therapist website cost?
Our custom websites start around $6,000, and every package includes the writing, design and build. Interest-free payment plans are available for up to six months. The right package depends mostly on how many services, clinicians and locations your site needs to explain, and we’ll help you figure that out on a free call.
Will I own my website?
Yes. Your website is built in WordPress and belongs to you, including your domain and your content.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign my site?
Not if it’s done carefully. When we redesign an existing site, we keep track of the pages that already bring people to you and redirect old addresses to the right new pages, so the visibility you’ve built carries over.
What do I need to have ready before we start?
Very little. Bring your ideas about the clients you want to reach and the direction you want to grow. We’ll gather everything else through the questionnaire and content interview, and we’ll let you know if we need photos, a logo or anything else.
Do I need to know what I want before we start?
Not at all. Many therapists come to us knowing their current website doesn’t feel right, without being sure what would. Figuring that out together is what our discovery and strategy step is for.
How involved do I need to be in the process?
Less than most people expect. The biggest piece is your content interview, where we talk through your practice, the people you work with, and what makes your approach yours. From there we do the writing, design and building, and you review and give feedback along the way. Most therapists tell us it felt much lighter than trying to do it themselves.
Can you design a logo along with my website?
Yes. Many of our clients start with a logo and brand so the whole website feels like it belongs to them. If you already have a logo you love, we’ll design your website around it.
What happens after my website launches?
Your website isn’t a one-and-done project. After launch, we can help with ongoing care, updates and SEO so your site keeps working for you and stays easy for the right clients to find.
Will my new website help me rely less on Psychology Today?
It can be a big part of that. Your website is the one place online that you fully own and control. A clear, well-built site helps people who find you through search, referrals or directories understand quickly that you’re the right fit. If you want to grow how often people find you through Google, our SEO services can build on that foundation over time.
From first conversation to launch in about 12 weeks
You don’t need to show up knowing what your website should say or how it should look. That’s our job. Here’s what the process looks like, so you always know what’s happening and where your input matters.
Discovery and strategy
We start with a real conversation about your practice: who you love working with, what you offer, and where you want things to go next. From there we map out which pages you need and how visitors will move through them.
Your content interview
Instead of handing you a blank page, we interview you. Then we turn what you’ve told us into website content that sounds like you on a good day, and you review it until it feels right.
Visual design
We create a look that reflects your personality and the people you serve, including colors, fonts, imagery and page layouts. You’ll see it and share feedback before anything gets built.
Building your site
Once you’ve approved the design, we build your WordPress website, connect your forms and scheduling tools, and make sure it works beautifully on phones.
Launch and beyond.
We test everything carefully, make final refinements, and launch. After that, you can keep us on for hosting, care and SEO, so you’re never on your own with the technical side.
Most projects take about 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest factor in timing is usually how quickly feedback and materials come back, and we’ll keep you posted at every step.
What we take off your plate
Most therapists we talk to aren’t stuck because they don’t care about their website. They’re stuck because the website means writing, design, technology and strategy all at once, squeezed in between sessions. So we take on all four.
Every custom package includes the strategy behind your site, done-for-you website writing, a custom design, a responsive WordPress build, and the forms and integrations your practice needs. Your part is the part only you can do: telling us about your work in the interview, and letting us know what feels right as you review.
One thing we hear a lot is “I’m not a writer.” You don’t have to be. Our content process is built around a conversation, because most therapists explain their work beautifully out loud. We capture that and shape it into pages that help the right person recognize, quickly, that you’re someone who can help.
Custom or Semi-custom: which is right for you?
Both of our website options give you a polished, professional site built on WordPress, with the technical side handled for you. The difference is how much of the strategy and writing you’d like us to take on, and how much your site needs to explain.
| Semi-custom website | Custom website | |
|---|---|---|
| Where we start | An established design that we adapt to your practice | A design created from scratch around your practice |
| Writing | You write your content, with guidance from us | We write it for you, through an interview |
| Best for | Practices that want a beautiful site up and running with a simpler structure | Practices with several services, clinicians or locations, or a new direction to communicate |
| Technical work | Handled by our team | Handled by our team |
If you enjoy writing about your work and want a lovely site without a long project, semi-custom is a wonderful fit. If you’d rather hand off the writing, or your practice has a lot to explain, custom gives you room for all of it. Not sure which one fits? That’s a great thing to talk through on a free call.
Websites for practices at every stage of growth
Most of the practices we work with aren’t brand new. They’re established, they’re good at what they do, and their website just hasn’t kept up. Usually that’s because something is changing:
Your website needs to help private-pay clients understand your value, since directories alone aren’t bringing them in.
that you want room to talk about and explain on your website.
Your site still says “I” when your practice is becoming “we,” and new clinicians need a way to be found.
You have multiple clinicians, services or locations, and visitors need a clear path to the right person.
Those need their own space to explain what they are and who they’re for.
We design for therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and multi-clinician group practices across the US and Canada. That includes practices with complex services like evaluations, training programs and supervision.
Room to grow: websites for group practices
Group practice websites have a different job than solo sites. Potential clients are often choosing between several clinicians, and they need an easy way to figure out who is the right fit for them. We build group practice sites with that in mind.
Each clinician can have their own page with their bio, specialties, and the people they love working with, so visitors can get to know your team before they reach out. If you offer services in more than one location, or both in person and online, we organize the site so people can quickly find what’s available to them. And because your team will change over time, we set things up so adding a new clinician is simple and doesn’t mean redesigning anything.
If you’re a solo therapist now but hiring is on your horizon, we can plan for that from the start so your website is ready to grow when you are.
Let’s create a website that feels like the practice you have worked so hard to build
If your current website no longer reflects the quality, depth, or direction of your work, we would be glad to help you imagine what comes next.
Schedule a free consultation to tell us about your practice, your website, and what you would like to change. We will talk through your goals and help you decide which path makes the most sense.
