What a private practice website for therapists actually needs

A private practice site just needs to say who you help, list your specialties and credentials, and give prospective clients a safe way to book a consultation or reach your intake portal. If you collect clinical intake info on your site, privacy matters. Brighter Vision sells HIPAA-compliant email and secure form add-ons from $14.99 per month (or includes them on its $279 or $349 per month Flourish plan), and TherapySites has a secure emails and forms add-on from $15 per month.

Many therapists skip public web forms and use an EHR like SimplePractice (from $49 per month billed monthly), which includes paperless intake documents and a Client Portal website. If intake happens in a portal or by phone, you only need text, contact details, and a scheduler. On Heya, you can embed a Calendly scheduling page or link a button to the booking page you already use.

When a dedicated therapy platform is worth paying for

Dedicated mental health platforms cost more each month than general builders, so they're only worth it if you'll use their done-for-you setup, pre-written clinical copy, or EHR tools. Brighter Vision's Start plan ($99 or $79 per month, $0 setup fee discounted from $100) gets you a professionally built site, unlimited support, and a pre-written content library. TherapySites charges a $199 one-time fee for design with concierge onboarding plus $69 per month on Core for scheduling, unlimited live support, and ADA-friendly, HIPAA-compliant features.

If you want clinical tools instead of marketing design, SimplePractice starts at $49 per month billed monthly on Starter and bundles telehealth, progress notes, Insurance Essentials, and online payments with a Client Portal website. If you'd rather write your own copy and just need a custom domain, blog, and scheduling, Squarespace ($19 per month on Basic) or Wix ($17 per month on Light, paid yearly) cost a fraction of dedicated agencies.

Free vs paid therapist websites: what you give up at $0

Only two platforms here have a permanent $0 plan: Wix and Heya. Wix's Free plan costs $0 with no credit card required and gives you hosting, a drag-and-drop editor, and thousands of templates, but you get a Wix domain and Wix branding until you upgrade (from $17 per month paid yearly for Light).

Heya Free also costs $0 with no credit card and no time limit, giving you up to 3 sites with up to 5 pages each at yourname.heya.bio and a small "Made with Heya" badge. Upgrading to Heya Pro Lite is $3 a month to remove the badge and get up to 20 pages per site, while Heya Pro Standard is $6 a month with up to 5 sites, up to 20 pages per site, no badge, and 1 custom domain per account. Squarespace only gives you a 14-day free trial, and SimplePractice has a 30-day free trial before you have to pay.
