How to Write a Therapy About Page That Feels Human (Not Like a Résumé)
Ask most therapists which page feels hardest to write, and they’ll say the About page. It’s where you try to sound professional and human, without oversharing or slipping into résumé mode.

Your training and lived experience already make you credible, but your website has to show it. In this blog, I break down what E-E-A-T means, common mistakes therapists make online, and how working with a mental health copywriter can help you build trust with both clients and Google
Why I Write About Mental Health
I don’t write about mental health because it’s trendy. I write about it because it’s personal. I’ve lived with anxiety and depression. I’ve lost people I love to suicide. And I believe that words can be a powerful part of healing. As a mental health copywriter, I use my skills to help therapists connect with the people who need them most. This is the story behind why I do what I do and why it matters so deeply to me.

In this post, I’m sharing the funny truth about starting my own blog, why your practice needs one, and how to make it work without burning out or sounding like a textbook.
