Pinterest for Therapists
Turn visual content into website traffic. Pinterest strategy for therapists who want to reach people searching for mental health support.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
Pinterest is a search engine in disguise—and your ideal clients are searching for mental health content there.
Overlooking Pinterest for your therapy practice? Unlike Instagram or Facebook, Pinterest functions more like a search engine. People use it to find ideas, resources, and solutions—including mental health support. Pins about therapy, self-care, and mental wellness consistently perform well.
The best part? Pinterest content has an incredibly long lifespan. A single pin can drive traffic to your website for months or even years, unlike social media posts that disappear in hours.
Is This Right For You?
This is for you if:
- You have blog content or resources on your therapy website
- You want to drive long-term website traffic without constant posting
- Your ideal clients are likely Pinterest users (research-oriented, often women 25-54)
- You prefer creating content once and having it work for months
- You want to complement your SEO strategy
This may not be right if:
- You have no website content to drive traffic to
- You only want to reach local clients (Pinterest is broad)
- You want instant results

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 Pinterest for Therapists
If you have blog content or educational resources, Pinterest is an excellent way to drive long-term traffic. It works especially well for therapists who create written content.
Pinterest is a search engine, not a social network. People use it to find information and save ideas. Content has a much longer lifespan than Instagram posts.
Not necessarily. We repurpose your existing blog posts, resources, and website content into pins. One blog post can become 5-10 pins.
Pinterest is a slow build. Expect meaningful traffic growth in 3-6 months. But once it builds, the traffic is remarkably consistent.
Pinterest users skew female, ages 25-54, and tend to be planners and researchers—often exactly the demographic seeking therapy.
With proper templates and scheduling tools, 1-2 hours per week is typically sufficient. We set up systems to minimize your time investment.
