Instagram for Therapists
Use Instagram to build your therapy practice—the right way.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
Instagram can build your therapy practice—if you know how to use it as a professional.
Considering Instagram for your therapy practice? Instagram’s visual nature and massive audience make it appealing for therapists. But the platform’s culture of personal sharing and constant content can feel challenging for mental health professionals.
The challenge is adapting Instagram best practices to therapy’s unique constraints. You can’t just share “a day in the life” content. Confidentiality limits what you can show. And the pressure to create beautiful visuals can feel overwhelming when you’d rather be seeing clients.
What you need is Instagram strategy designed for therapists. Approaches that work within professional boundaries, don’t require design skills, and build your practice without consuming all your time.

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.
