Launching a therapist website template made for real life (and real private practices)

Custom websites are incredible when the timing is right — they give you the chance to shape your site from the ground up: aesthetics, messaging, layout, and structure all working in sync. I love that work. It’s deep, collaborative, and often transformational. However, many therapists might find that using a website template designed specifically for their needs offers a quicker and equally effective solution.

But not everyone’s there yet.

If you’ve been putting off your website because you’re still figuring out your niche, services, or message — or you simply want a grounded, no-pressure starting point — this therapist website template might be exactly what you need.

Why I created this Squarespace therapist website template

Over the past few years, I’ve worked with dozens of Canadian therapists on custom websites and messaging strategy. But sometimes, the folks who reach out just aren’t ready to go fully custom yet — and that’s okay.

Their practice is new. Their offerings are still evolving. Or they’ve had “build website” on their to-do list for months but haven’t had the time, energy, or clarity to dive in.

And sometimes, I get referrals from therapists I’ve worked with who say, “My friend needs a website, but they don’t even know where to begin.”

Lara is for all of you.
It’s a soft, welcoming launchpad. A website template for therapists that feels simple but strategic — something you can make your own right now, while leaving room to refine as you grow.

Who it’s for

This therapist website template is for you if:

  • You're launching a solo private practice and want to look polished from day one
  • You’re not quite ready for a custom site — financially or emotionally
  • You’ve tried starting from scratch but felt stuck or overwhelmed
  • You want a clean, strategic layout that gently guides people to connect


When a custom site makes more sense

Templates are a fantastic place to begin — but sometimes, you’re ready for more.

If you’ve been in practice for a while, know exactly who you serve and how, and want a website that fully reflects your unique voice, client experience, and clinical lens — custom is likely the better next step.

Think of Lara as a way to get started without sacrificing professionalism or warmth. And when it’s time to go deeper, we can build something fully tailored together.


Whether you’re starting fresh or rebuilding with clarity, this therapist website template is designed to help you get online with confidence, without feeling like you have to figure it all out alone.
