Before a client reads your credentials.
Before they schedule a consultation.
Before they decide whether you feel safe.
They see your face.
And in private practice, that image matters more than most realize.
I work with psychologists, therapists, and private practice owners who want portraits that feel:
Approachable without being casual
Professional without being stiff
Confident without being intimidating
Warm without looking staged
Your headshot should reflect the way clients experience you in the room — grounded, present, and trustworthy.
Today, clients:
Search Professional databases like Psychology Today profiles
Visit your website
Compare multiple providers
Make quick emotional decisions
A dated or overly corporate headshot can quietly create distance.
A natural, modern portrait builds immediate comfort.
That difference can impact bookings.
This isn’t a “stand against a backdrop and smile” session.
Before we shoot, we discuss:
Your ideal client
The tone of your practice (clinical? holistic? trauma-informed? couples?)
Where the images will live (Psychology Today, website, social, press)
Wardrobe guidance that aligns with your specialty
The result is a portrait that feels intentional — not generic.
Sessions are:
Efficient (30–60 minutes)
Relaxed and guided
Focused on natural expression
Delivered quickly for immediate use
