ABOUT THE AUTHOR
👋🏼 Hi, I’m Jamie.
I spent 9 years at Google before deciding corporate couldn't give me the impact I wanted.
Now I help private-practice therapists succeed online — stay off insurance panels, keep control away from VC-backed platforms, and build practices that are actually full.
This guide pulls from the Google Ads campaigns I personally manage. I'm looking at patterns across 770+ therapy ad groups — across specialties, geographies, budgets, practice types, and seniority levels.
No niche can be guaranteed to work every time.
But this is what I've repeatedly seen bring inquiries, find white space, and fill caseloads faster.

WHAT MOST NICHE ADVICE SOUNDS LIKE:
"Just pick what you love."
"Speak to your dream client."
"Choose a niche that lights you up."
It’s not bad, per-se. I don’t want you dreading clients.
But the best niches also have market demand while not being so narrow that no one's searching for it.
That's what my guide is for.
THE PROBLEM
You aren’t matching what clients look for 🔍
You aren’t matching what clients look for 🔍
The average client is not sitting around thinking:
"I would just love a therapist who works from an integrative, trauma-informed, relational, attachment-based lens."
They’re thinking:
"Why do I keep picking emotionally unavailable people?"
"Why can’t I sleep?"
"Why am I behind my friends?"
Why do I look successful but feel like I'm falling apart?"
Your niche isn't a legal contract with the internet. The guide helps you think about it as a direction, not a permanent identity.
Whether you have a website or not: step-by-step guidance on turning niche data into actual pages that generate inquiries.

Amy got 70+ inquiries in 3 months after building her website for where there was interest.
A dedicated niche page — not a menu of services — is what makes the difference. These page, done well, can change the trajectory of a practice.

"My website now feels calmer, more professional, and more aligned with who I am and how I actually work."
Since launching the new site, I've noticed an uptick in inquiries that are better aligned with my niche of working with new fathers and men's issues.
