Step One

Your directory profile
is your storefront

Psychology Today alone drives the majority of new therapy inquiries in the US. Yet most therapists spend 15 minutes on a profile they set and forget. These AI tools help you write profiles that connect, convert, and stand out — without sounding like a press release.

💡 Pro Tip
Your Psychology Today headline is the single most-read line of your entire profile — most prospective clients decide whether to keep reading in 3 seconds. Lead with who you help and what they'll gain, not your credentials. For example: "Helping high-achieving women stop people-pleasing" outperforms "Licensed therapist with 10 years of experience" every time.

💡 SEO Reality Check
You don't need to rank for "therapist" nationally. You need to rank for "anxiety therapist [your city]" or "EMDR therapy [your neighborhood]." Local long-tail keywords have dramatically less competition and higher conversion rates — because the person searching is already in your area and looking for exactly what you offer.
