HiveSourced California Therapist Websites
A California therapy website has to show your license accurately, make your telehealth coverage clear and make booking simple. HiveSourced designs custom WordPress websites for California therapists, counselors and group practices, built to turn searches into booked consults.
California clients often check that a therapist is licensed before they reach out, and many search by city or by specialty. Your site has to answer both quickly.
Visitors want proof you are licensed in California. Showing your license type and number, and linking to the state lookup, builds trust before the first call.
Clients need to know if you can see them by video and where you are licensed. Say it in plain words on the services and contact pages.
One page for the whole state does not speak to someone searching in Sacramento or San Diego. Real local detail, not swapped place names, shows you know the area.
Anxiety, trauma, couples work and teen therapy are separate searches. Giving each its own page helps clients and Google find the right one.
California practices get the same full core service as every HiveSourced client, then the details that matter in the state.
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 practices in the state. The rules referenced come from California sources, so confirm current details with your board before you publish licensing language.
California licenses marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, professional clinical counselors and educational psychologists through the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Your site should name your license type exactly as it appears on your license.
Under 16 CCR 1815.5, a provider offering telehealth to a client who is physically in California must hold a California license or registration from the Board, and informed consent is required when telehealth begins. Your site should say where you are licensed.
California is large, and clients search by city, county or region. Where you have a physical office, give it a page with real directions, parking and transit details.
Therapists in busy California cities compete for the same searches. Specific service pages and a clear niche help you stand out. Our guide to telehealth across state lines covers what your site should say about where you practice.
Your forms should protect client information, and your contact page should point to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and 911 for emergencies. Our SEO for therapists service helps your pages get found.
Plenty of California practices start solo and add clinicians. We build the site so you can add profiles and services without a redesign. Larger teams can read about our group practice website design.
We collect your license details, 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.
