Website Design for Therapists and Private Practices

Your website is marketing, so the safest approach is to keep protected health information off it entirely. I keep the site form to name, email, and a short note, and route anything clinical through your practice management system, which is built for it. For a definite answer about your own setup, check with whoever handles compliance for your practice.

Yes. SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, or whatever you already use. The site hands off to it rather than trying to be the intake.

It is usually the biggest opportunity on the whole project. Each state you are licensed in is a market you can legally serve by telehealth, and the site should name them so you show up there and nobody books who you cannot see.

Usually not, and that is fine. Ethics codes restrict soliciting them from current clients and many clinicians avoid them entirely, so credibility comes from a real photo of you, your credentials, a clear description of how you work, and what a first session is like. Your licensing board is the one to confirm with.

Most practice sites are live within one to two weeks once your content is ready. Writing is usually what sets the pace, not the build, and that is the part only you can do.
