Ever wonder why some therapists seem to get all the right-fit inquiries—even with less experience? Let’s talk about the role your website plays in that (and how to make yours finally pull its weight). In this episode, I’m walking you through the evolution I’ve seen in therapist websites over the past seven years and what today’s clients are really looking for when they land on your homepage.

You’ll hear why both copy and design matter (now more than ever), how they work together to build trust, and how to know when something’s not working. Whether you're going the DIY route or ready to hand it off, this episode will help you prioritize what actually matters so your website connects and converts.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

1️⃣ Why copy is still king—and how it creates the emotional connection clients need before reaching out

2️⃣ How design acts like a first handshake, setting the tone for trust and professionalism

3️⃣ The simple shift that turns your website into a clear, welcoming, client-attracting experience
