Website Design
Your website is often the first point of contact with clients — a storefront for your practice that can either invite them in or drive them away.
A professional website builds credibility, increases visibility, and converts more visitors into clients. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current site or build a new one, I design solutions tailored to each practice’s needs.
SEO Content Writing
An effective SEO content strategy helps you become visible to clients who are already looking for therapy and counseling services.
I create content that showcases your specialties and captures your unique tone. By regularly updating your website and writing blogs that answer people’s searches, we can boost your ranking and attract new clients.
About
My name is Maria Vasconcelos, and I am a Psychologist and Digital Marketer. I specialize in content marketing and website design for therapists, mental health professionals, and private practices.
After 6 years of practicing psychology, I felt the need for a new challenge. It was time to finally pursue my passion for writing, and since I was already a 'computer geek', diving into digital marketing felt like a match made in heaven.
Today, I combine these areas of expertise to help therapists grow their practices and inspire people to prioritize their mental health. And I’m truly proud and grateful for that!

What Sets Me Apart
Background in psychology
As a trained psychologist, I have a deep understanding of the world of therapy and counseling. I can showcase your expertise while creating engaging and valuable content for your audience.
Expertise in content creation
I specialize in crafting compelling content that connects with clients and captures your unique approach as a therapist or a private practice owner.
Focus on your needs
My services are specifically designed for therapists, ensuring a personalized approach that meets your needs. So no, you won’t find a generic 'website template for therapists' here.
Save time and energy
Writing blogs, social media, creating a website are all essential but very time-consuming tasks. By taking these off your plate, you can focus on what you do best — supporting your clients.
Speak your language
If you’re not very tech-savvy or get lost in the marketing talk, I've got you! I’ll guide you through the metrics and analytics, helping you make informed decisions for your therapy practice.

Testimonials
"Maria is EXCELLENT! She has helped with various types of marketing for my group psychotherapy practice. She is an excellent writer and has been great to consult with regarding SEO, social media, paid ads, updating our website, and starting our newsletter. She is very reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her."
Cathy Sullivan-Windt
Owner of New Connections Counseling"I worked with Maria to completely overhaul my website and let me tell you: it was a huge undertaking. She handled it with a level of skill that left me immensely impressed and also feeling SO LUCKY that I found her. Her work is impeccable and as a small-business owner who is very picky about who I partner with, I say with the utmost confidence that you can trust her with your project."
Stephanie Korpal
Owner & Therapist at Marble Wellness"Maria is excellent at what she does. Her creativity, work ethic and expertise all combined together to make me an amazing website. Her personality was fun and easy to work with! Maria goes beyond "just" a website designer as she has knowledge and experience in other areas - such as SEO, marketing and my world of counseling. I highly recommend working with Maria for your website creation."
Dawn Gabriel
Group Practice Owner & Consultant"Working with Maria has been a dream. When I started my private practice several years ago, I had no idea what I was doing in terms of marketing, and I eventually realized that my website and marketing plan needed a major overhaul. Maria is very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. Her background in psychology was vital and meant I had to do very little. I cannot recommend her enough."
"Maria did an excellent job with the copywriting and design for my website. She is both very talented in digital design and also knowledgeable about SEO best practices. On top of that, she is very easy to work with and responsive. I highly recommend Maria to anyone trying to market their private practice!"
Carolyn Brennan
Clinical Psychologist"Maria is one of the most creative people I've had the opportunity to meet and work with. Together with a team of psychologists, we created an e-book on mental health during confinement, and Maria did all the web design for the e-book, making it more appealing and easier to read. I recommend her services with total confidence."
