Do therapy practices need a custom website, or is a directory profile enough?

A Psychology Today or TherapyDen profile helps with discovery, but it's a rented listing you don't control and can't fully customize. A custom website gives your practice a real home online, lets you rank in Google for your own name and specialties, and gives prospective clients a lower-pressure way to learn about you before reaching out.

Can my therapy practice website be HIPAA-compliant?

getschwiftyy builds contact and intake forms with HIPAA-aware practices in mind — avoiding unnecessary collection of protected health information on public forms, using secure form handling, and routing sensitive communication through compliant channels. Full HIPAA compliance for any backend systems (EHR, scheduling, billing) depends on the specific tools you use alongside the site.

What should a therapist website include?

At minimum: a clear description of your specialties and approach, your credentials, a simple way to request an appointment or consultation, an FAQ addressing common client concerns (insurance, what to expect in a first session), and local SEO structure so you show up for searches like "therapist near me" or "[specialty] counselor Denver."

How long does a therapy practice website take to build?

A focused single-practitioner site typically ships in 1–3 weeks. A multi-provider group practice site with more pages ships in 3–5 weeks depending on content and feedback cycles.
