HiveSourced EMDR and Trauma Therapist Websites
A website for an EMDR or trauma therapist has to feel calm, explain your work in plain words and make it easy to reach out. HiveSourced designs custom WordPress websites for EMDR and trauma therapists, built to turn searches into booked consults.
People who search for trauma therapy are often nervous, and a busy or clinical site can push them away. Your pages should lower the barrier to a first message.
Most visitors have never had EMDR. A short, plain page on what a session involves helps them decide, without promising any outcome.
Bright banners, stock photos of distress and dense text can feel like too much. Calm colors, white space and short paragraphs help people keep reading.
Someone in distress may land on your page. A clear note pointing to 988 and 911 shows care and sets honest limits on what the site can do.
Visitors look for EMDR training and your areas of focus. State your credentials and trainings exactly and keep every claim you cannot support off the page.
EMDR and trauma practices get the same full core service as every HiveSourced client, then the pages and details that fit trauma work.
Figma design before any code
We show three homepage directions first, then design each page in Figma. You get unlimited revisions in the design phase, before any code is written.
Copywriting in your voice
Your copy comes from a structured intake about the clients you want to see and the words they use when they look for help.
On-page SEO and schema
Meta titles, headings, schema markup and Google Search Console are in place at launch.
Built for phones first
Most clients search from a phone, so we design at phone size first and scale up.
HIPAA-compliant contact form
Your contact form sends inquiries through encrypted channels, and we help you connect a HIPAA-compliant email system for replies.
Training video and Slack updates
You get a recorded walkthrough to edit the site yourself, plus a dedicated Slack channel with updates every Tuesday and Friday.
Below is what we add for EMDR and trauma practices. Keep every statement general and non-clinical, and confirm credential wording with your licensing board and training body.
Give EMDR its own page. EMDRIA, the EMDR International Association, describes EMDR as a therapy that uses guided bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements, and works through eight phases with your therapist. Explain it in your own words and avoid promising results.
Trauma-informed care is built around safety, choice and trust. SAMHSA publishes guidance on it, and the same ideas apply to a website: no surprises, no pressure and clear choices. We build calm layouts with readable text and no autoplay.
Your contact page and footer should point to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and 911 for emergencies, and say plainly that the site is not for urgent needs. Clients appreciate the honesty.
List your license, EMDR training and any certification exactly as the issuing body words it. Link to your portfolio of HiveSourced sites if you want to see how other practices present this.
Intake forms ask about sensitive history, so they need protection. Read our guide to HIPAA compliant emails and forms. Our SEO for therapists service helps the right clients find your pages.
Many EMDR practices add intensives, consultation groups or more clinicians. We build the site so you can add pages without a redesign. Larger teams can read about our group practice website design.
We collect your credentials, the clients you want to reach, your approach and the questions people ask before they book.
About 1 to 2 weeks. You choose a homepage direction before we design anything else.
About 1 to 3 weeks, with unlimited revisions until every page feels right to you.
About 1 week. WordPress build, schema, analytics and Search Console, then a training video for you.
Most projects launch in 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff. We work fully remotely, so you do not need to be near Chicago. Not sure what fits your budget? See our pricing.
We design for therapists across the US. See finished sites in our portfolio, or read what clients say below.

Do you build websites for EMDR therapists?
Yes. We work with EMDR therapists, trauma specialists, group practices and wellness professionals across the US. Everything is delivered remotely, with a dedicated Slack channel for updates.
What makes a trauma therapist website different?
Tone and safety. The layout is calm, the language is plain, crisis resources are easy to find and the copy avoids clinical promises. We plan these choices in the design phase.
What should an EMDR therapist website include?
A plain-language EMDR page, your license and training, fees and insurance details, crisis resources, private intake and a clear way to book. Each main service deserves its own page.
Can my website say that EMDR works?
Keep claims general and avoid promising results. EMDRIA describes EMDR as extensively researched, but your licensing board decides what you may say about outcomes in your advertising, so check its rules before you publish.
How much does an EMDR therapist website cost?
Custom websites start from $2,000. Hosting for sites we build is $20 per month. See our pricing page or the breakdown of therapist website costs.
How long does it take to launch?
Most sites launch 3 to 6 weeks after kickoff: about 1 to 2 weeks for homepage style options, 1 to 3 weeks for full design, and about 1 week for build and launch.
Is the contact form on my site HIPAA compliant?
Every build includes a HIPAA-compliant contact form that sends inquiries through encrypted channels. Your practice stays responsible for how it stores and handles client information. See our guide to HIPAA-compliant email and forms.
