What we do
A therapist AI visibility agency built for one job.
Most therapist marketing is a directory subscription, maybe a redesign and some paid search. None of it decides what an assistant says when someone types how they have been feeling and asks who nearby could help. We work on what does: your pages, your directory profiles and your license records.
That is a different job from SEO for therapists. We do not report a keyword position. We run 5 real client questions on ChatGPT and Google AI Mode every 2 weeks and count how many recommend you. If you were looking for an AI SEO agency for private practices, this is that work. Everything we build is yours to keep.
Why this industry
One new weekly client covers the whole year.
A private practice does not need volume. It needs the right few people to find it. The practice AI names is the one the person already looking for help is told about first.
01
They ask AI first now
45% of US consumers now use ChatGPT or another AI tool to find local business recommendations, up from 6% a year earlier.

03
The maths is not close
One new weekly client covers the whole year. Being in the answer costs $499 a month.

How AI decides
What AI reads before it names a therapist.
This is the one local category with a single dominant directory. Assistants lean on it heavily, and a thin or stale profile there is the most common reason a practice is invisible.
01
Psychology Today
The most cited source in this category by a distance. Fill every field: specialties, modalities, the insurance panels you are on, the fee, whether you have openings, the ages you work with, and a photo. This is the first thing to fix and the one that moves most.
02
Google Business Profile
Primary category, the specialties as services, real hours including any evening slots, and the questions section seeded with what people ask before they book a first session.
03
Bing Places
ChatGPT search runs on Bing. Free, quick, and the listing almost nobody in private practice has claimed.
04
Insurance panel directories
Every carrier you are in network with keeps its own provider finder. These answer the does that therapist take my plan question, and they are wrong more often than any other record a practice owns.
05
Zocdoc and Healthgrades
Both are cited in health answers, and Zocdoc carries availability as well as identity, which is what the taking new clients question is really about.
The part most therapist marketing misses
This is the one industry on this site where we do not ask clients for reviews, and we will tell you not to. Most licensure boards and professional codes restrict soliciting testimonials, so the work here is directory profiles, clear pages and referral relationships instead. It works because the directories carry so much of the answer.

Your city
We have checked 60 cities for therapists.
Pick your city and see the businesses AI named there, on the date we captured the answer. Every city in the list was asked the same buyer question in a fresh logged out session. It is one answer on one day, not a ranking, and nobody in it is a client of ours.
Start typing to jump down the list. 60 US cities are screened so far.
Every one of the 60 cities in the list was asked the same question in Google AI Mode on October 4, 2026: who is the best therapist here. This shows you the therapy practices that answer named back. It is one answer on one day, not a ranking.

How to get named, without hiring anyone.
Two guides written for owners. One is the master guide on getting named by ChatGPT. The other is the search version: the listings and profiles AI checks, the pages that answer real questions, and the structured data to add. Nothing in either one needs an agency.
The general library covers the rest: all guides.
