A 5 Star Review

Why Online Reviews Matter for Therapists

1. Build Trust and Credibility

Positive reviews showcase your expertise and build trust with potential clients who are considering your services.

2. Boost Your Search Engine Rankings

Search engines like Google prioritize businesses with frequent, high-quality reviews, increasing your visibility to new clients.

3. Word of Mouth in the Digital Age

Online reviews are the modern-day word of mouth. Satisfied clients can become your biggest advocates.

How to Encourage Clients to Leave Reviews

1. Ask Directly, but Gently

At the end of a successful therapy session, ask clients if they’d be willing to leave a review. Be sensitive to the therapeutic relationship and never pressure anyone.

2. Make It Easy

Provide links to your Google My Business, Yelp, or other review platforms in follow-up emails or on your website to make the process simple.

3. Timing is Key

Ask for a review after a particularly positive or breakthrough session when the client may feel more motivated to share their experience.

Managing Your Online Reputation

1. Responding to Positive Reviews

Thank clients for their kind words and express your gratitude. This shows you value feedback and fosters stronger relationships.

2. Handling Negative Reviews

Address negative feedback calmly and professionally. If possible, offer to resolve any issues offline to show potential clients your commitment to their well-being.
