Marketing for psychologists

    Marketing for psychologists and psychology practices

    Psychology practices sell two very different things: therapy, and assessments such as psychoeducational, ADHD, and autism evaluations. Each has its own searchers, price point, and referral sources. We market both, so your clinicians' calendars and your assessment waitlist stay balanced.

    Two demand streams, two strategies

    Assessment searches

    Parents and adults search for psychoeducational assessment, ADHD assessment for adults, or autism assessment with a city name. These are high-value, high-intent searches that warrant dedicated pages and ad groups.

    Therapy searches

    Therapy clients search by concern: anxiety, depression, trauma, couples. Clinician-fit pages and fast intake matter more than the title psychologist.

    Referral sources

    Schools, family physicians, and pediatricians refer assessments. A referrer page with wait times and the referral process makes you easy to send to.

    Supervised associates

    Practices with supervised practice members or psychotherapists need pages that describe credentials accurately under college rules.

    What we run for psychology practices

    • Assessment service pages with process, timeline, and fee clarity.
    • Google Ads split by assessment and therapy so budgets follow capacity. Management is $895 setup + $695/mo or 15% of ad spend, whichever is greater.

    Psychology-specific marketing vs generic therapy marketing

    Generic therapist marketing treats every practice the same. Psychology practices with an assessment line need a different structure.
