Therapist Google Reviews
Build a review presence that attracts clients—while respecting boundaries.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
Reviews matter—but therapy reviews require special consideration.
Want to build your Google review presence? Potential clients increasingly check Google reviews before choosing a therapist. A healthy review presence builds trust; no reviews (or negative ones) can turn people away.
But reviews for therapists are complicated. You can’t ask clients directly without creating awkwardness. Confidentiality concerns mean clients may hesitate to leave public reviews. And you need to handle any reviews—positive or negative—carefully.
What you need is a review strategy designed for therapy’s unique constraints. Ethical approaches to building reviews, guidance on managing your review presence, and strategies that respect the therapeutic relationship.

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.

Common Questions About Therapist Reviews
It's complicated. Direct requests can feel coercive given the power dynamic. We recommend alternative approaches.
Through non-client sources (colleagues, consultees, workshop attendees) and passive systems that let former clients review if they choose.
Generally yes, briefly and professionally. Thank positives; address negatives without confirming therapeutic relationships.
Respond professionally without confirming the reviewer was a client. We provide specific guidance and templates.
Unfortunately yes. Google allows reviews from anyone. We help you handle inappropriate reviews appropriately.
Any is better than none. 5-10 quality reviews makes a meaningful difference. More is better but hard to accumulate in therapy.
Never. Fake reviews violate Google's terms and professional ethics. We only support authentic review building.
Google is most impactful for search visibility. Other platforms (Yelp, etc.) are secondary for most practices.
