15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
Autistic individuals need therapists who understand—help them find you.
Marketing your autism specialty? Autistic individuals often struggle to find therapists who truly understand neurodivergent experience. Many have had negative experiences with providers who tried to “fix” them rather than support them. They’re actively seeking affirming specialists.
The challenge is reaching this community effectively. Autistic individuals and their families are often well-informed and discerning. Your marketing needs to demonstrate genuine understanding, use appropriate language, and show you’re truly affirming—not just claiming to be.
What you need is autism-informed marketing. Strategies that use neurodiversity-affirming language, reach autistic individuals and families, and demonstrate authentic understanding.

Trusted by Mental Health Professionals
Mental Health Marketing has helped me build several websites for my businesses over these last few years. I've been thrilled with their work and believe their designs have greatly contributed to the success of my practices (I get lots of compliments on the websites!). Both Aaron and Josh are also great to work with–warm, creative, and very reasonable with their pricing.
I've worked with Aaron Carpenter and his team for several years and have been nothing but impressed with the way that they keep the project going to meet the goals I have set. Aaron has created a team of professionals who really know what they are doing. They are terrific project managers who make sure the job gets done right within the scope that we agreed on. I love Mental Health Marketing!
I can not say enough good things about Mental Health Marketing. They helped me take a nugget of an idea and explode it into a seven figure business. They offer concierge level service. Design work is top notch. In a world of "good enough" workmanship – Mental Health Marketing is that rare company that is never satisfied and always striving for perfection.
