Marketing for Private Practice
Build a thriving private practice with marketing that works as hard as you do.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
Running a private practice means wearing every hat—including marketer.
Searching for marketing help for your private practice? You started your practice for clinical freedom, not to become a full-time marketer. Yet here you are, trying to figure out websites, SEO, social media, and advertising while also seeing clients, handling billing, and managing everything else.
The generic business marketing advice doesn’t quite fit. The tactics that work for retail or restaurants feel wrong for a therapy practice. And the “guru” promising to fill your caseload overnight? Something about that doesn’t sit right either.
Meanwhile, you’re watching your competition grow while you struggle to maintain a consistent caseload. The feast-or-famine cycle is exhausting, and you’re starting to wonder if private practice was the right choice.

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.
