Foundations — What to Expect
Solo: Private PracticeAt the Foundations stage, we focus on getting the essentials right — the building blocks every solo practice needs before investing in paid advertising or complex marketing campaigns.
What's included:
- A professional, conversion-focused website that clearly communicates who you help and how
- Google Business Profile setup and optimization so you show up in local "therapist near me" searches
- Core SEO foundations — page titles, meta descriptions, and location-based keywords
- Directory listings on Psychology Today, TherapyDen, and other high-traffic referral sources
- A simple content strategy to establish your clinical expertise online
Most solo practitioners see their first organic inquiries within 60–90 days of completing this stage. This is the minimum viable marketing foundation — everything else builds on top of it.
LeadGen — What to Expect
Growing: Teams of 2–5LeadGen is where your marketing shifts from passive to active. You've built the foundation — now we layer on systems that consistently generate new client inquiries and support therapist recruitment for your growing team.
What's included:
- Google Ads campaigns targeting high-intent searches like "anxiety therapist in [city]" and "couples counseling near me"
- Conversion-optimized landing pages built for each service line or specialty
- Call tracking and lead attribution so you know exactly where every inquiry comes from
- Automated review generation to build your online reputation at scale
- Monthly performance reporting with clear ROI metrics — cost per lead, cost per new client
- Therapist recruitment marketing to support your hiring pipeline as caseloads fill
Practices at this stage typically see 15–30+ new client inquiries per month, depending on budget and market. The focus is on predictable, measurable growth — not guesswork.
Advanced Marketing — What to Expect
Thriving: Group Practice 6+Advanced Marketing is for established group practices ready to dominate their local market. At this level, we refine everything that's working, expand into new channels, and build long-term brand authority.
What's included:
- Multi-channel advertising across Google, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and programmatic display
- Advanced SEO strategy — content clusters, backlink building, and competitive keyword targeting
- Marketing consultation and strategic planning sessions with your leadership team
- Brand positioning and messaging refinement as you scale to 15+ clinicians
- Conversion rate optimization (CRO) — A/B testing intake forms, landing pages, and call-to-actions
- Comprehensive analytics dashboard with multi-touch attribution modeling
- Expansion support for new locations, specialties, or service lines
At this investment level, you're not just generating leads — you're building a recognizable brand in your community. Practices here typically see 40–80+ inquiries per month and have a systemized intake process to handle the volume.
The Proof
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.
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!

That's common, and usually means the strategy wasn't right for your niche. We start every engagement with an audit of what's been done, then build a plan specific to mental health private practices — not generic small business tactics.
