by galeWriting for mental health

Website copy written by a mental health professional

Service pages, About pages, and blog posts for private practice. Written by a Registered Psychometrician who knows where a claim crosses into advice.

Start with one page

Most therapist websites are written for other therapists

They open with modalities and credentials before naming a single problem. They use the word “holistic” and then say nothing a person in distress can recognize as her own situation.

Your dream clients are not evaluating your training. They are wondering whether you’ll understand them and thinking about what they’re supposed to say.

Good practice copy answers those two questions before it does anything else.

I know where the line is

Marketing copy for mental health has a boundary general copywriters can’t see. Promising outcomes. Implying a diagnosis. Describing a modality in a way that sounds like a guarantee. Using a client story in a way that should never have left the room.

I was trained on the other side of that line and I still work there. I am a Registered Psychometrician and a Master’s degree holder in Psychology (license to practice still in progress), and I write with the ethical guidelines in mind.

You don’t need a specialty to be seen

You don’t have to call yourself a trauma specialist to be found by people in pain. There’s a way to write about what you actually do that’s both honest and searchable, and finding it is most of my job.

Being visible without writing for a machine

Someone searching for an anxiety therapist in your city isn’t the same person searching for what to do when your teenager won’t talk to you. Both can become clients. They need different pages.

More inquiries means more admin

Copy that works brings more inquiries, and more inquiries means more email. If the backend is already straining, see how the practice support works.
