Who We Serve

The mental health marketing agency that fills caseloads with the right clients

Mental health clients search carefully, ask about insurance first, and stay loyal once they trust you. We reach them at the organization level and fill caseloads with clients who fit.

The Problem

61.5 million adults had a mental illness in 2024, and 31.5% of them also met criteria for a substance use disorder. Demand outruns the counselors available to meet it.

  • Mental health paid search is the most expensive in healthcare: $141 per lead, up 146% year over year. Every wasted click hurts more here.
  • Most mental health organizations have no dedicated marketer, so the decision sits with the person running the practice, alongside clinical and finance.

Mental Health Marketing Strategies

Steady visibility, lower cost of reaching out, loyalty that compounds.

The best mental health marketing strategies reward consistency. Organizations that show up in search and AI answers for the conditions and services they treat, then make the first contact feel safe, build caseloads that stay. We combine organic visibility, precise paid campaigns, and conversion-focused intake pathways, then track each inquiry through your CRM so you know which strategy actually produced the client.

  • Organization-level targeting: mental health organizations, treatment centers, and group practices
  • Teen therapy centers and family-facing programs handled inside the same plan
  • Telehealth-ready: mental health was the top telehealth diagnosis in every age group in Q1 2026

Results shown were achieved for specific clients, including results achieved by our team at their previous agencies. They are not typical and depend on budget, market, clinical offering, and intake execution. Oluna does not guarantee census, cost per admit, or rankings.

The Process

How it works for a mental health organization.

  1. Audit

    We map how people find your services and locations today, from Google to AI answers, and capture every keyword’s baseline.

  2. Strategy

    A plan by service, condition, and location, with the insurance and first-session questions answered up front.

  3. Execute

    Pages in your clinicians’ voice, precise paid campaigns, and intake pathways that make the first contact feel safe.

  4. Report

    Inquiries, booked sessions, and admits by channel, pulled from your CRM, reviewed by the quarter.

Programs we market

Across the mental health continuum

In Depth

Mental health marketing, in depth.

What you get

Delivered for a mental health organization, month to month.

  • Pages by service, condition, and location
  • Insurance and first-session questions answered up front
  • Content in your clinicians’ voice
  • Booked sessions and admits by channel
Start the conversation

Spots in our program are limited. We cap our roster, so if you are interested it is best to get included sooner rather than later.

01

Search, stigma, and the insurance-first question

People looking for mental health care search carefully and quietly. They want to know whether you take their insurance, what a first session looks like, and whether you treat what they are dealing with, before they type a name into a form. Our mental health marketing builds pages that answer those questions directly, in your clinicians’ words, so the person who calls has already decided to trust you.

02

Mental health SEO and AI visibility

Mental health SEO is a long game that pays for years. We map every service, condition, and location your organization treats to one page, build the content from interviews with your clinical team, and structure it so AI engines can quote it. That work runs through our behavioral health SEO marketing and behavioral health AI marketing services, with behavioral health PPC marketing covering the gap while organic compounds.

03

Teen therapy centers and group practices

Teen therapy centers sit inside the mental health segment for us: a clinic treating a wide range of adolescents with many therapists and support staff is exactly the organization we serve, with its own page at teen therapy marketing agency. Group practices, treatment centers, and larger organizations with chief growth or strategy officers get the same system, run through our behavioral health website design marketing, behavioral health social media marketing, and behavioral health branding marketing services, or all of it together inside our behavioral health marketing packages.

Talk to Oluna
Do you work with group practices as well as larger organizations?

Yes. Mental health organizations, treatment centers, and group practices are all in our core focus, including teen therapy centers. Solo private practices are a lower priority for us; our ideal client is an organization that needs an agency to take over strategy and execution at a high level.

Will the content reflect our clinical voice, not generic filler?

Yes. We interview your clinical leadership, therapists, and admissions staff, then build content from what they actually say, published under named experts. That is what families trust, and it is what protects your site from the spam updates that wipe out recycled AI content.

How do you find the right customers for our specific commercial insurances?

By mapping keywords to high-intent, coverage-aware searches, building landing pages that answer coverage questions before the call, and feeding your ad platforms clean intake data so they optimize toward callers who match your programs and payers rather than out-of-network volume.

How do you tie spend to actual admits?

We connect your marketing data to the systems you already run, including KIPU, Salesforce, Dazos, HubSpot, CallRail, and CallTrackingMetrics, and track each inquiry from the first search or click through to a signed intake. Ad platforms and reports are then fed clean, down-funnel data instead of raw form fills and spam calls.

How fast can marketing impact our census?

Paid search can produce qualified inquiries within weeks of launch; one account went from 0–1 admits a month to 6 a month in four months. Organic search and AI visibility compound over quarters and keep working after the spend stops. We set expectations for your market on the first call, and we evaluate results by the quarter and year over year to account for seasonality.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract? What happens if the census doesn’t move?

No. We offer month-to-month contracts, so you are never locked into a long commitment. If you are not happy with the work, you can cancel anytime. Clients from our team’s previous agencies have stayed on for more than 10 years on month-to-month terms. If the census is not moving, you will see that in the same report we do, and we will show you the data-backed adjustment before you ever have to ask.
