Therapy site rebuild

At The Healing Journey, asking for a first consultation is now one clear, safe step.

I rebuilt the practice's old WordPress site around the person deciding whether to reach out. Since launch, the practice reports 15% more bookings and 20% higher session rates.

The story

Lynne's credibility was real. Her old site made it hard to see.

Someone looking for a therapist is deciding whether it is safe to reach out. The site had to help them understand the practice without turning care into a sales pitch. If your old site no longer matches how good your work is, this is the build.

  1. 01

    The situation

    Lynne had the credentials, the referrals and the directory profiles. But a cautious person searching for help could meet scattered snippets from other sites before they reached her own account of the practice.

  2. 02

    The diagnosis

    I went through the old site and the public profiles. The gaps were in pages for specific kinds of care, in how safe it felt to send a first message, and in profiles that didn't match. I fixed the site first.

  3. 03

    The build

    The new site has a clinician bio, a resources page, a local page for each priority kind of care, and a contact route that works.

  4. 04

    The search foundation

    Behind the pages is the setup search engines read, including a site map and a description of the practice in their format. That gives them one clear account of the practice, from the site Lynne owns.

  5. 05

    One clear ask

    Being easy to find is only half the job. Every page carries one ask, Request a Consultation. A bar keeps it one tap away, and a free fifteen-minute consultation makes the first message easy to send.

What I built

A site that matches how good the work is.

The rebuild covers the pages people search for, how Lynne shows up on other sites, and the one step from reading to reaching out.

Local search

A page per kind of care

I built local pages for the care people search for: EMDR, trauma, anxiety, grief, couples, family, individual therapy, and group work.

Profiles

Profiles, mapped

I mapped Lynne's public profiles and found where other sites were still shaping how she appeared online.

Reaching out

One clear next step

One ask repeated across the site, a consultation bar that follows the reader, a free fifteen-minute consultation, a clear walkthrough of what to expect, and an intake form built to feel safe for a first message.

Notes

Good to know.

  • After launch. The next step was tidying the public profiles and adding more resource pages.
  • The slider. Full-page captures of the old WordPress site and the live rebuild, at desktop, tablet and phone widths.
