Web design for therapists is different than any other business.

You’re in the business of relationships and your clients need to feel trust before booking you. It’s not like they are buying candles–they want to be able to trust you in their most vulnerable moment.

You need to reach clients without being “salesy” or unethical.
You need to show your human side, and also your reliability and expertise.
You want a website that stands out and connects to clients in distress.
And, you are probably a team of one-you don’t have a marketing department and all the time in the world and expertise to design a website.

You need to work with someone who gets you–and that’s me! As a former therapist, I know what it’s like to be in your shoes.

How My Collaborative Process Works

Pick your favorite template from my shop (don't worry, I'll make it uniquely yours)
Send me your brand photos
Fill out some questionnaires
We’ll meet & strategize
See your site come to life
Give me your feedback, and then... launch!

Why choose me?

I do the writing for you.

Writing is the hardest part of website creation. Other studios will ask you to come with your content ready, but not me.
I have the tools to help you write your content and I love helping with this part. Having professional help with your writing makes your website so much more impactful–plus you don’t have to agonize over it yourself.
I know private practice.

As a former full-time private practice therapist I get what it’s like being in your shoes. I’ve now dedicated years to helping hundreds of therapists build their online presence with my own special mix of clinical know-how and digital expertise.
I can help you showcase your approach online, authentically and ethically.

What Other Therapists Are Saying

"Before using Melissa's services I was frustrated trying to make my own website. She is a delight to work with! Funny, engaging, easy to provide constructive feedback...she's knowledgeable and accessible at the same time. If you've been feeling stuck or unsure how to proceed to make your website reflect you and your business more congruently, she can help immensely!"

–Holly Cerny
“The process is so collaborative! Melissa has a wonderful way of incorporating the values and mission of the practice in the design process. I terminated my Psychology Today profile because the site is attracting clients that are more aligned with the specific services the practice offers and generates consistent referrals. I adore the site! I feel proud, excited, confident, and passionate about the work when I share it.”

–Sharnise Hendrick
“I wanted my site to be bold and reflect my values and energy clearly. What made me the happiest about Melissa's services was that it felt like working with a close friend and coach. We laughed, she encouraged me, and she developed a beautiful website. She loves doing this work–her enthusiasm made it feel like we were a team. She has wonderful attention to detail, and my website feels like me.”

–SuMing Sullivan
"I felt at ease upon my first conversation with Melissa that she understood my work as a therapist. Melissa displays a high level of customer service, competence, professionalism, openness to feedback, and kindness throughout her process. I cannot say enough about having Melissa as a guide to bounce ideas off of and get trusted opinions. Absolutely do no hesitate to hire Melissa for your project if she is not completely booked up already! She is truly the best."

–Melissa Janosek
“I was struggling to have a golden thread throughout my website. Melissa was able to take my vision and communicate the message so that it all connected. I just love how kind and empathetic Melissa is. Her role as a therapist really allows her to understand your vision and how to best get it to your client."

–Kristin Ross
"What made me the happiest about Melissa's services was that she was able see my vision before I even really could!

Since using her services I've been able to attract the clients that I've wanted to attract and I've sensed an increase in confidence in my professional self!"

–Carli Genet
“I couldn't trust just anyone with the job of creating my website. My site needed the right balance of creativity, professionalism, and "me" in it. Melissa supported my vision of that from start to finish. She was so helpful in keeping my procrastination at bay and making it a joy to create my dream final product. I'd recommend her in no less than one heartbeat.”

-Hallie Kay LeBlanc
"Melissa shows up wearing several hats - designer, fierce listener, and project manager/coach. She has lived experience as a therapist and ties this knowledge with her eye and expertise in design and the written word. And in the meantime, she helps and encourages her clients to stay on task and create something they love.The process of working with her was pretty magical! She took my ideas and helped me pull together a look and text that I love."

–Christina Massoni Hughes
"I feel like my website reflects who I am and what I do. Melissa was very thorough in her questions. That helped me be more thoughtful of how I wanted to present my practice to others. She allowed me to be creative in designing the website. I would wholeheartedly encourage others to work with her. I think her experiences as a therapist adds an important layer to these websites."

–Shelly Orlowsky
