Seasonal Tending for Your Website
1. Update your website with modern, inclusive imagery
If you haven't refreshed the photos on your website for a couple of years, consider updating with ones that reflect the identities and experiences of your ideal clients. You can find free and paid stock photo websites with a quick web search.

2. Resolve broken links
Load up with your favorite snacks and click through to ensure every link on your website works and goes to where it needs to. A smooth website experience ensures less friction and better conversion when clients are reaching out.
3. Refresh old blogs
Do you have a great blog that you could update for 2025? Set a timer for 15 minutes and go through it as quickly as possible to update it for what your clients experience now.
4. Audit copy for right-fit
Does your website still accurately reflect your ideal client and the results you help them achieve? Your specializations and clinical interests may have evolved. Make sure your copy reflects that.

5. Refresh your bio
You've grown, changed, and probably have a few more tricks in your therapist hat. Maybe even guested on a podcast or two? Ensure your bio is updated to reflect who you are now and where you're headed.
6. Update your headshots
Are you still using photos from 10 years ago? Or a selfie with you and your dog? Professional images create an immediate connection and build trust. Have a friend take a few photos in your element or consider a professional branding shoot.
