Starting a private practice is exciting—and overwhelming without the right guidance.

Starting your therapy private practice? Congratulations on taking this step. But between getting licensed, finding office space, setting up billing, and actually seeing clients, marketing often gets pushed aside—or done haphazardly.

The challenge is that marketing decisions you make early can affect your practice for years. A poorly chosen practice name, an ineffective website, or unclear positioning can be expensive to fix later. Yet most new practice owners don’t know what they don’t know.

What you need is marketing guidance designed for practice startups. Help prioritizing what matters most, avoiding common mistakes, and building a foundation that serves you as your practice grows.

What Clinicians Say

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 Answered

Questions About Starting a Practice

Ideally 2-3 months before you want to see clients. Building visibility takes time.

Usually a professional website and Google Business Profile. We'll help you prioritize based on your situation.

It varies, but $2,000-5,000 for initial setup is common. We'll help you budget appropriately.

Some focus usually helps, but you don't need to over-specialize immediately. We'll help you find the right balance.

Unclear positioning, DIY websites that look unprofessional, and waiting too long to start marketing.

Not necessarily. Both approaches can work. We'll discuss the pros and cons for your situation.

It's optional. Website and directories usually matter more initially. We'll help you prioritize.

Typically 6-18 months with consistent marketing. We'll set realistic expectations for your market.
