Ever caught a yourself apologizing for your website before sharing it? That’s exactly where Dr. Christy Clark found herself before we teamed up on her psychologist website design project. She had a basic template site that wasn’t doing her practice justice — and certainly wasn’t attracting her ideal clients!

ToggleThe Challenge: A Website That Wasn’t Working Hard Enough
When Dr. Clark first reached out to me, she was facing several website roadblocks:
- Her generic therapy template site lacked personality and brand cohesion
- The site didn’t accurately showcase her specialized services or expertise
- She was launching a new business (Third Wave Therapy and Training) but her online presence wasn’t ready
- Potential clients couldn’t easily understand her unique approach to treating OCD and other conditions
She knew exactly how to help her clients (especially teenagers struggling with OCD symptoms), but her website wasn’t conveying her expertise or attracting the right families to her practice.
The Solution: A Strategic Website Makeover
Together, we crafted a comprehensive plan to transform her online presence:
1. Brand Development That Resonates
We didn’t just design a website — we created a complete brand identity for Third Wave Therapy and Training, including a distinctive logo, strategic color palette, and professional typography that reflected her warm yet expert approach.
2. Professional Photography That Builds Trust
No more generic stock photos! We scheduled a custom photoshoot to capture Dr. Clark’s approachable personality. This instantly created connection with potential clients before they even made that first call.
3. Strategic Messaging That Converts
We crafted content that spoke directly to her ideal clients’ pain points, emphasizing that seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. The messaging highlighted her specialized treatments including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
4. Clear Client Journey
We restructured the site with a strategic customer journey in mind, guiding visitors from understanding their challenges to seeing Dr. Clark as the solution, with clear calls-to-action throughout.
5. Expertise Positioning
Beyond client services, we created sections showcasing Dr. Clark’s consultation and training services for other clinicians, positioning her as a leader in her field and opening additional revenue streams.
The Results: A Website That Works Around the Clock
After launching her new psychologist website, Dr. Clark experienced several game-changing benefits:
- She no longer apologized when sharing her website — in fact, she proudly directed potential clients to it!
- Inquiry quality improved dramatically, with more pre-qualified leads reaching out
- The consultation process became smoother as clients already understood her approach
- Her professional credibility soared, attracting both direct clients and professional referrals
- The website began generating leads 24/7, even while she was focused on providing therapy
Most importantly, Dr. Clark could finally focus on what she does best — helping individuals and families break free from unworkable patterns and develop psychological flexibility — while her website worked hard behind the scenes to attract ideal clients.
