Mental Health Copywriter & Nonprofit Communications Consultant

I help therapists, nonprofits, and small businesses reach more of the humans who need them. Without the stress, pressure, and overwhelm.

Wave those website woes goodbye, friend.

You’re an expert in what you do, whether it’s providing one-on-one therapy or managing an agency.

You started this journey for a reason.

Maybe it’s about creating a space where your unique perspective truly shines, or offering therapeutic or wellness services that resonate with your values + those of your ideal clients.

Or maybe you’re driven by a genuine desire to empower and uplift others through your work. Maybe you see a deep need, and you want to fill the gap or innovate in a critical way.

Whatever that reason is, you know your heart’s in the right place.

But you suspect your website might be in the dumpster. Y’know… The one down the street, full of leftover takeout and day-old coffee.

Possibly on fire.

Either way, it’s not reflecting the vibrant spirit of your brand—of who you are and what you offer.

Mental Health Copywriter & Nonprofit Communications Consultant

Hey! I’m Melissa. And if you’re looking for an online upgrade, I’m super happy to be your Gal Friday.

(I’m also a big Cary Grant fan, and if you haven’t seen His Girl Friday, I’m going to kindly ask that you stop everything and change that right now.)

I’m a Squarespace website designer for small businesses because I want to make your life easier.

I know what it’s like to feel passionate about your services and so eager to connect with the people who need you.

I also know what it’s like to be swimming in a sea of cookie-cutter websites… And have no idea where to go or which one to choose.

Digital marketing can be overwhelming for humans on either side of the equation.

You don’t have a lot of time, and you don’t have a lot of money.

I’m here to help.

Let's talk sparkling mental health copywriting, Squarespace website design, and strategic content marketing. 👇

Stay Calm, Cool, and Thriving with Elevated Online Basics for Mental Health Practitioners & Nonprofit Organizations

Good copy is the foundation of your website, emails, social media, and online profiles. If the words don’t work, not much else will, either.

01. Copywriting

02. Website Design

Pretty isn’t enough! Your words have to live somewhere functional, too. Good design lets your reader focus on what you have to offer.

03. Content

Blogs and other forms of content can keep you as fresh as a daisy! Keep your audience sticking around with fascinating content.

Here’s the truth: running a business is a lot of work—especially when you’re juggling other life responsibilities, too. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be on top of it! So if you’re totally happy with your website’s look and functionality, all of the words and blogs and social media posts…

You don’t need me.

And you have my enthusiastic permission to say that loud and proud.

But if you are:
✔️ New to entrepreneurship,
✔️ Not sure where your clients are coming from next month or the month after that,
✔️ Less than thrilled with your website or blog posts, or
✔️ Feeling like you kinda-sorta do want to try your hand at marketing emails or social media…

…then click the button below, and let’s get started.

  • "A therapist's best friend."

    “I'm in love with my site and am thrilled that it embodies who I am, what I do and why I do it. Best of all, (outside of the gorgeous layout) it was in MY voice…

    [Melissa]’s literally a ‘therapist's best friend’ when it comes to design and copy!”

  • "Readable and relatable!"

    “The end result of working with Melissa was content that communicated the most salient aspects of myself and what I had to offer while making it easily readable and relatable!”

  • "Getting rave reviews!"

    “I LOVED working with Melissa. I was struggling SO HARD... I had the vision of what I wanted but not the website-building expertise and was ready to give up…

    Enter Melissa & Em Gee Ink and voila! A gorgeous, navigable, stress-free website that is getting rave reviews."

  • "I felt heard and understood."

    “I felt incredibly heard and understood. You worked so well with my process (and you knowing about the Enneagram helped so much), and I am SO happy that we worked together.

    My website sounds so much more like ME.”

  • "Always gets it right!"

    No matter what the assignment, Melissa always gets it right.”

    Stephanie M.

  • "So many requests!"

    “Your Psychology Today ad is amazing. I had to change it to not accepting new clients because I’ve been getting so many requests.

    Thank you again!”

    Sari L.

  • "Such a way with words..."

    “Melissa exceeded my expectations and helped me convey what I was feeling on my website. She has such a way with words and I feel so happy with the final result!

    She was able to work my feedback on the content and make it sound like me… She’s truly talented!”

Digitally Overwhelmed? You’re in the Right Place.

You’ve got a business to run. You’ve got clients to deal with. You have a family, friends, hobbies, a life… And you’d actually like some free time, too.

There’s one thing you’re dang sure about, and it’s this: you don’t have time to learn everything you need to learn about digital marketing.

You want a website that works, words that reflect your actual services and personality, and you don’t want to stress about either of those things.

So you decide to hire someone.

Sure, you could hire two different people… Maybe even three.

A mental health copywriter who knows how to write. A Squarespace website designer who knows how to design. A branding expert to help you craft your messaging and pick out your color scheme and photos.

Or… You can hire one person to do it all.

No group emails, no liaising, no waiting for Person A to answer Person B so you can get back to Person C.

A mental health copywriter who’s also a Squarespace website designer for therapists and nonprofits.

You can get branding support, expert SEO copywriting, and a beautiful, easy to use website… All in one place.

Mental Health Copywriting for Therapists

Attract your people with copy that reflects you.

There’s a reason you went into private practice for yourself. Right?

You knew there was a gap in services for people like you – people who dreamt of more than the average, sterile therapeutic setting. Who always felt a little left-of-center. The people who see right through the repeated “and how does that make you feel?” and grow immediately cold.

So when you opened your practice, you wanted to lift up and support those very same people. You wanted to be the kind of person you wish YOU’D had when you were starting your own mental health journey.

People want to know they can relate to you – they want to know you’ll understand and help them. A mental health copywriter helps you say, “Yes, I will!”

A mental health copywriter GETS you. (And gets you found.)

Google knows what it likes to see – and a copywriter does, too. I can help you optimize the text on your website so you’ll rank higher in organic search results. In other words, without constantly paying for ads that most people will scroll right by, anyway.

The right mental health copywriter can save you money, energy and time – time for your clients, time for your family, time for your LIFE.

And who doesn’t want more of that?!
