Your website deserves a therapist too.

LET'S BUILD A WEBSITE THAT LISTENS, CONNECTS + DOESN'T STRESS YOU OUT

You already know therapy is personal, so your website should be, too. I build websites for Canadian therapists with SEO included that actually feel like you.

Pronoia Designs exists because therapists deserve better than recycled templates + copy-paste websites.

I don’t do vague strategies or half-assed DIY fixes. I build clean, pretty, accessible websites that actually support your therapy practice's growth with built-in SEO, mobile formatting + scheduler integrations that make your life easier.

Your website called - it wants to meet me.

Website Designer + Search Engine Optimization Enthusiast with private practice experience and your new small business friend.

Before Pronoia Designs, I worked in private practice as a senior admin + communications coordinator - juggling intake calls, compliance rules, social media, website updates and all the behind-the-scenes chaos that no one talks about.

Queer website designer for therapists with a pronoia tattoo in Guelph Ontario

Hi, I'm Jacquie!

So I have some niche knowledge from my time in the therapy world - of course not more than you therapists, but a smidge more than the average website designer.

Now, I help Canadian therapists build websites that feel personal, trustworthy, and are easy to maintain — minus the overwhelm. I’ll handle the hard parts so you don’t have to.

What does pronoia mean + why did I choose it?

Pronoia is the belief that the universe is conspiring in your favour - the opposite of paranoia. Basically, I am always on your side cheering you on and hoping for the best for you + your therapy practice growth!

I got my pronoia tattoo a few years back written by my oldest sister, Caitlin. This tattoo carries even more meaning now because Caitlin passed away in April 2026 while battling her second cancer diagnosis in 7 years.

When I was deciding on a name for my new business, I knew I wanted it to be something meaningful to me + something different than the usual website design business names. I'd really liked the meaning of pronoia since I learned about the word, so figured why not make it my business name!

I also run my business with the meaning behind the word pronoia, but on another level, the website design + brand identity pieces are what everyone sees, whereas the SEO is a background piece forever working to grow your business (the conspiring piece) - cheesy, but I overthink everything and love a good sentimental story 😂.

A little insight

Looking good isn’t enough.

A pretty site that no one sees is a waste of money — that’s why I incorporate search engine optimization (SEO) from the beginning. A website designer that doesn't provide SEO, isn't going to create a website that will get you found.

Questions about your therapy website builder

Why do you specialize in therapists?

My experience working in a private mental health practice gave me an inside look at the work therapists do, the people they support, and some of the challenges that come with running a practice. I understand that your website needs to do more than look professional. It needs to help potential clients understand your services, feel comfortable reaching out, and find the information they need - without stepping on your college's toes (rules). It's a niche I really enjoy working with, and one where I can bring my website design skills, experience of being a therapy client/having to find a therapist and relevant industry experience to the table.

What makes Pronoia Designs different from other website designers?

I'm me! I don't believe a good website should just look nice. It needs to reflect your business, make sense to the people you're trying to reach, and make it easy for them to take the next step. I bring website design, SEO, and practical business experience together to create something that looks like you, works for your needs, and gives your business a solid foundation to grow. I also know that you are a therapist, not a website expert, so I leave you with a website you can actually maintain, or I offer maintenance services for previous clients. I am also queer, I go to therapy, I have ADHD + autism, I don't take things seriously (but can still be professional) and many other things that you'll learn while working with me!

What do you value most when working with clients?

Good work starts with a good working relationship. I value honest communication, accessibility, collaboration, and treating people like people. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your ideas, and speaking up when something doesn't feel right. You know your business best, and my job is to bring my expertise to the table and help turn your ideas into something that works.

What is it like to work with you?

I'm a big believer in good communication, collaboration, and making the process feel manageable. You can expect honest feedback, clear next steps, and guidance when you're not sure what your website needs. I'll bring the design and technical know-how, but your knowledge of your business matters just as much. We're building this together.

Do you use templates to design websites?

I do not! My approach is to design around your business, your audience, and what your website needs to accomplish, rather than squeezing every business into the same mould. The goal is a website that feels like yours and works for the people using it. I'll make design decisions based on your needs and goals, not simply because something looks good in a template - your website is truly YOUR website and no other clients' will look like your's and vice versa.

Do you work with businesses outside Ontario?

Yes! Pronoia Designs is based in Ontario, and I work with therapists and small businesses across Canada. Projects are handled virtually through video calls, email, and online tools, so we can work together regardless of where your business is located.
