HIPAA Compliant Marketing for Therapists
Market your practice effectively while fully respecting client privacy and HIPAA requirements.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
You need to market your practice—but never at the expense of client privacy.
Worried about marketing compliance? As a therapist, you have legal and ethical obligations to protect client privacy. But you also need to market your practice. Many therapists feel uncertain about what’s allowed, leading to either risky marketing or no marketing at all.
The challenge is understanding where the lines are. Can you use testimonials? What about before/after stories? How do you handle client photos? What about retargeting ads? These questions have answers, but they’re not always intuitive.
What you need is marketing guidance that respects compliance. Strategies that grow your practice while fully protecting client privacy and meeting HIPAA requirements.

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.

Questions About HIPAA Compliant Marketing
With proper written authorization, yes. But the authorization must be HIPAA-compliant, and clients can revoke anytime.
Even de-identified information can be problematic. Small practices make clients potentially identifiable. Caution advised.
Generally risky for healthcare. Tracking pixels on therapy websites raise privacy concerns. We recommend avoiding.
Clients can voluntarily post reviews. You can't solicit reviews from clients or respond with confirming information.
Aggregate, de-identified demographics may be okay. Specific details that could identify individuals are problematic.
Generally avoid. They're difficult to substantiate, may be misleading, and often require client information.
Requires written HIPAA authorization. Even with authorization, consider whether it's necessary for your marketing.
If you're uncertain, consulting a healthcare attorney for a formal compliance review is wise.
