Marketing for Psychologists and Therapy Centers
Taking the step of booking a first therapy appointment is not a quick decision — and many generic campaigns don’t account for that. We design Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns segmented by therapy type and format (online or in-person), designed to support that decision, not force it.

The challenge of filling your schedule without losing patient quality
A single campaign for “all services” at a psychology center usually performs worse than campaigns separated by therapy type (anxiety, couples, child), because each has a different search intent and trust message. The same applies to format: online and in-person can coexist without competing if segmented into separate campaigns.
Why paid media works in mental health
In this sector, a low cost per lead isn’t always the metric that matters — a cheap lead that never books an appointment delivers nothing. That’s why we also work on message quality with educational content on Meta Ads: when the patient clearly understands what to expect from the first session, booking and attendance rates improve significantly.
How the first session is communicated is as decisive as cost per lead in this sector.
What results you can expect
We don’t promise a fixed number of patients, because every center starts from a different situation. What you can expect is a process: first a 4-6 week validation period to identify which therapy types and messages generate the most confirmed bookings, then ongoing optimization of the booking rate, and in parallel, content that helps the patient take the step with more confidence before the first session.
Common objections
“I get leads but they don’t book an appointment”
This is usually because the lead stays in the “interest” phase without taking the next step — prior educational content on Meta Ads and messages that manage expectations before booking greatly improve this rate.
“Is it ethical to advertise psychological therapy?”
Yes, as long as it’s done responsibly — without exploiting vulnerability or promising clinical outcomes, and complying with Google’s and Meta’s health policies.
Real cases from psychology centers
We work with psychology practices and centers, optimizing both lead acquisition and appointment booking rate. Some real client results:
A center with a single “all services” campaign segmented by therapy type (anxiety, couples, child) with specific creative for each: CPL dropped 35% on Google Ads and reached €7 in Meta remarketing campaigns.
A center with a low CPL (€25) had a quality problem: 90% of leads never booked an appointment. With educational content on Meta and better segmentation, the booking rate rose to 35%.
A center unsure whether online therapy would cannibalize in-person sessions separated both formats into independent campaigns: both scaled without competing with each other, and CPL dropped from €32 to €22.
You work directly with me
Over 9 years managing Google Ads and Meta Ads, having worked at 7 national and international paid media agencies, including a role as Senior Account Manager at Google (through Teleperformance), managing over 500 accounts and being recognized as a Top Performer. I have worked with psychology practices and centers, generating qualified leads with the sensitivity and discretion the sector requires. I keep a limited number of clients on my roster so I can personally dedicate myself to each account — I coordinate a team for day-to-day execution when needed, but your account’s strategy, results review, daily optimization and direct contact are always with me, not a junior. And it shows in the results.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, as long as Google’s and Meta’s health policies are followed and communication is responsible, without promising clinical outcomes or exploiting the patient’s vulnerability.
It’s a common problem in this sector: the patient stays in the “interest” phase. Prior educational content and messages that manage expectations about the first session usually greatly improve the booking rate.
Yes, by separating both formats into independent campaigns with different audiences and creatives, instead of mixing them into a single campaign.
Google Ads captures people who are already actively looking for help; Meta Ads works well for building prior trust with educational content, especially useful before the patient takes the step of booking.
You can validate the channel with a moderate test budget over 4-8 weeks before deciding whether to scale investment.
