Therapist Website

What to Include in a Therapist's Website?

​In this age of social media and the growth of the internet, businesses are developing a stronger online presence. Fortunately, this makes it easier to get in contact with a good therapist from the comfort of your home. But, the sheer number of websites can make it challenging to find a good one. Here are some key things you need to look out for to recognize a good therapist website.

Organized Structure

The first impression on a good website is the homepage, and its structure may determine if you continue to skim the website. What you need is a clean homepage with a good headline and a section that clearly states the services offered. A clean homepage is a sign of organization, and it shows you exactly what to expect from the therapist. When a website’s homepage is too cluttered, their message is lost, and prospective patients are less sure about whether this therapist will relate to them.

User-Friendly Interface

Poor navigation is a common issue with many websites, and it can discourage you from continuing on the site. Searching for information on a website that doesn’t have a good layout can be very frustrating, especially when you need something specific. A good tip is to check that a website has a menu that puts everything into sections for you to navigate quickly.

Simple and Creative Information

A website that has clunky and cluttered information doesn’t give the right impression of the therapist in charge. You should be able to quickly understand the information on the website, without it sounding too robotic or generic. Simple information makes your search easy and lets you choose a therapist that is suited to your needs.

Personal Information

A therapist website should include some detailed information about the therapist.  I certainly prefer to know where therapists have trained and what is the current view of my particular concerns.  It is nice to see a professional photo that will help give me an idea about who I will be relating to in sessions. Details about therapies offered are essential, especially if you have specific needs from the therapist.

Straightforward Contact Details

You’re more likely to contact the therapist directly if they have a quick access contact button than if you have to copy an email address or phone number. The first step to booking a session is getting into contact with the therapist’s office, so a button that makes it easier is a plus.

A Concise List of Specialties and Experience

Once you log in to any website, it only takes you a short time to find out what services they offer, and if you don’t find that quickly, it can be frustrating. You should check first to ensure that the website has an exhaustive list detailing all the services and programs that they offer. It is more convenient for both parties, and it cuts down on your search time.


The search for a good therapist can be time-consuming and exhausting, especially when you don’t have one in mind. These tips can help you to shorten your search time, help you have a more productive experience, and narrow down your list quicker.
