Create a Booking Page for Therapists

For many people

Scheduling a therapy appointment is the hardest part of starting. Phone anxiety, stigma, and the vulnerability of explaining concerns to a receptionist keep potential clients from ever making the call. A booking page lets clients read about your therapists on your website and book their first session privately from their phone, at midnight if that's when they find the courage. It also helps with the operational side of a practice. Scheduling and rescheduling by phone takes staff time; self-scheduling with a cancellation deadline and reminders frees that time. For group practices, clients who choose a therapist after reading their bio are more likely to find a good fit. Clinical paperwork is a separate step. Presenting concerns, history, emergency contacts, insurance, and consent should be completed through your HIPAA-compliant EHR, because SchedulingKit is not HIPAA compliant.

Therapists practice many modalities

Such as cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, dialectical behavior therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, and most clients don't know which approach suits them. Briefly describing the modalities you offer, the concerns each addresses, and what a typical session involves helps clients choose both a therapist and an approach.

Clear expectations support the therapeutic relationship.

Clients who know that EMDR involves bilateral stimulation or that DBT includes skills practice between sessions are less likely to be surprised and leave after the first few visits.

Looking at which services and therapists

Get booked over time also tells you what your community is looking for, so you can adjust your outreach or expand the services clients need most.
