Connect with schools, administrators, and families who need your therapeutic expertise in educational settings.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
Schools desperately need mental health support. But how do you market to school districts, not just individual clients?
Marketing school-based therapy services is fundamentally different. Your “clients” are not individuals searching Google—they are school administrators, counselors, and district decision-makers looking for providers. At the same time, you may also want families to know you offer school-based services.
This requires a B2B marketing approach alongside traditional therapy marketing—something most therapist marketing agencies do not understand or address.
Is This Right For You?
This is for you if:
- You provide or want to provide therapy services in school settings
- You want to build relationships with school districts and administrators
- You serve children and adolescents in educational environments
- You want a mix of school contracts and private referrals
- You value professional, educational marketing
This may not be right if:
- You do not work with children or schools
- You only want individual private practice clients
- You are not interested in B2B relationships

Why School-Based Therapy Marketing Is Unique
Two audiences: school decision-makers who hire you, and families who benefit from your services.
Reach Decision-Makers
Marketing that speaks to principals, counselors, and district administrators looking for therapy providers.
Family Communication
Resources and content that help families understand and trust school-based therapy services.
Professional Positioning
Position yourself as a trusted school mental health partner, not just another vendor.
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.
