Make your practice easier to find & easier to choose.
A focused marketing consultation for therapists who want to understand how prospective clients find their practice online, what they encounter when they get there, and where there may be opportunities to strengthen visibility.
What happens when someone goes looking for a therapist like you?
You may already have a professional website, directory profiles, a Google Business Profile, and a clear sense of the clients you want to reach. It can still be difficult to tell how well those pieces are working together.
The Private Practice Visibility Review & Consultation looks at your practice from the outside. I review how your practice appears in relevant Google searches, what prospective clients encounter on your website, how your services are positioned, and how your online presence compares with other practices competing for similar searches.
The review can also help you decide where your marketing time and budget are most useful, especially if you are considering SEO, Google Ads, directory listings, website changes, or other ways of growing your counselling practice.
A closer look before we meet.
Your consultation includes advance review so our time together can focus on your practice, your market, and the questions that matter most to you.
Assessment & review
Once your consultation is confirmed, you will receive a short questionnaire about your practice, goals, ideal clients, and current concerns. I use that context to review your website and public-facing online presence before we meet.
Focused consultation
We meet virtually for 50 minutes to go through what I found. We look at what is working, where prospective clients may be losing the thread, and which opportunities make sense for your goals and capacity.
Priorities & next steps
You leave with a clearer picture of your online visibility and the areas worth your attention. A brief follow-up email captures the key themes and next steps from our conversation.
A practical look at how your practice shows up online.
Online visibility involves more than whether your website appears when you search your own practice name. I look at the routes a prospective client may actually take when searching for counselling in your area.
The exact focus varies by practice. Your questionnaire helps identify which parts of your private practice marketing are most useful to examine.

Private practice marketing from a practice owner's perspective.
I am Kirsten Boulier, MSW, RCSW, and I founded Healing Quest Counselling in 2019. I established the Maple Ridge clinic in 2022 and have grown the practice from solo work into a multi-clinician practice with a strong local presence and a detailed, search-visible website.
Along the way, I have worked through many of the same questions that come with growing a counselling practice: how to describe services clearly, improve local visibility, build useful service pages, develop referral pathways, understand what clients are searching for, and decide which business-development tasks are actually worth the time.
I bring that experience to each review, along with an outside perspective on how your practice is presenting itself to the people you hope to reach.
Tell me what you are trying to build.
Your answers help me understand your practice and determine whether this consultation is likely to be useful. Please do not include client information or confidential clinical material.
Geographic eligibility: To avoid potential conflicts of interest within my local professional community, consultations are available to practices based outside Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

Private Practice Visibility Review FAQs
A few common questions about the review, SEO, private practice marketing, and what to expect from the consultation.
Is this SEO consulting for therapists?
Search visibility is an important part of the review, and we may discuss SEO when it is relevant to what I find. The consultation also looks at your website, Google presence, directories, positioning, local competition, and the path prospective clients take from search to inquiry.
I do not provide technical SEO services, implementation, backlink campaigns, or ongoing SEO management.
Can you help me market my counselling practice?
The consultation can help you understand which parts of your private practice marketing deserve attention and where you may be missing opportunities. Depending on your practice, that could include search visibility, service pages, Google presence, directories, positioning, referral visibility, or the way prospective clients move through your website.
You will leave with useful priorities that fit your practice and a clearer sense of where your marketing effort may be best spent.
Is this business coaching for therapists?
The consultation focuses on the visibility, positioning, and public-facing marketing of your private practice. We can discuss business-development decisions that relate directly to those areas.
Broader business questions such as hiring, finances, fee setting, operations, leadership, or long-term practice scaling are outside the scope of this service.
Who is the consultation for?
It may be useful for therapists who are building a new private practice, growing an established practice, adding services or clinicians, experiencing fewer inquiries than expected, or simply unsure how visible their practice is to prospective clients.
You do not need to know whether the issue is your website, Google, SEO, directories, positioning, or something else before applying. That uncertainty can be part of what we explore.
Do I need a Google Business Profile?
No. I review the public-facing pieces that are relevant to your particular practice. If you have a Google Business Profile, it may be included. If you do not, we can consider whether local Google visibility is relevant to your services and business model.
Will you tell me exactly how to improve my Google ranking?
I can identify search visibility issues, discuss patterns I notice, and suggest areas that may deserve attention. Search rankings depend on many factors and change over time, so I do not promise a particular ranking or outcome.
If what I find points toward work that requires a technical SEO specialist, web developer, advertising professional, or another service provider, I will say so.
What happens before the consultation?
You complete a short questionnaire about your practice, the clients and services you want to grow, your current referral sources, and any concerns you already have. I then complete the advance review before our 50-minute virtual meeting.
Why are Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows practices excluded?
Healing Quest Counselling operates in Maple Ridge, and I want to avoid potential conflicts of interest with practices in my immediate local market. The Private Practice Visibility Review & Consultation is therefore available to practices based outside Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
