SEO for Long Island therapists who want to show up without selling out

You want to serve your neighbors — not compete with Manhattan clinics. We help therapists across Long Island show up in search, ethically and clearly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Rocio understood my tone, my boundaries, and my goals. Their SEO work gave me confidence and clarity, not just clicks.” – Oré Akinsanmi, UI/UX Designer

Why Long Island therapists need location-focused SEO

Your town matters — let’s make sure your site shows that.

You’re not based in the city, and that’s a strength. Clients are searching for therapists in their zip codes.

Directories ignore nuance. SEO lets you speak directly to the clients you want to work with.

Google doesn’t always understand geography. We optimize for the real towns you serve, not just near NYC.

You want to grow without overexposure. Our SEO keeps things ethical and contained.

You’re tired of copy that sounds like someone else. We help your site feel human and truly local.

Why do Long Island therapists need SEO?

Search engines don’t understand Long Island like locals do. We help you rank for terms like “EMDR therapist in Babylon” — not just “NYC therapy.”

Your audience isn’t in Manhattan. We focus your visibility where it matters — Nassau, Suffolk, and your town.

Referrals only go so far. SEO helps clients find you on their own.

Most therapists don’t optimize for suburbia. We do — with location-rich content and strategy.

Your clients are already Googling. Let’s make sure they find your site — not just Psychology Today.

Rocio’s SEO audit and implementation work gave my website a real boost—clean, targeted improvements that didn’t compromise my tone or values as a New York City-based lawyer. I’ve already seen measurable increases in visibility and traffic, and now feel equipped to build sustainably. Can’t recommend their SEO services enough!

As a therapy practice based in New York City, Rocio was a fantastic match for our SEO needs. Coming into the process, we didn't know a lot about SEO strategy, and Rocio was very effective in meeting us where we were and taking our website to the next level. Rocio also taught us many strategies along the way so that we could do SEO improvements ourselves, which felt really generous. It felt like Rocio really wanted to help our company, and delivered very impressive results. Not only have we improved greatly in terms of our rankings, but we now feel like we have a solid grasp on what is needed to keep the momentum going. Highly recommend!!!

After running Queer Social Club (queersocialclub.com) for two years alone, I knew I needed to level up the focus, but was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. I decided to hire consultant support from a marketing professional who understood both queer culture AND digital marketing strategy - Rocio was the perfect person for this! Working together has equipped me with a whole new level of tools, focus, and priorities for the next year of business and community-building. I plan to hire Rocio again as many times as possible, and recommend MBR to anyone looking for an efficient and creative marketing/branding expert!

I hired Rocio to help with search engine optimization for my website. Not only was Rocio knowledgeable, thorough, and the utmost professional, but her results speak for themselves: within weeks, my website was the top-ranking search result on Google for crucial keywords related to my subject matter! I highly recommend Rocio and look forward to working with her again in the near future.

Rocio’s coaching exceeded my expectations. Rocio didn’t only explain the basics and technicalities of personal branding to me but also took their time to encourage me to show my true colors. Their know-how about building a brand story helped me elevate the communication of the purpose of both my personal and business profile.

I liked Rocio’s unique network in the queer business and fashion space, and their ability to communicate within the marketing team environment. It was a great experience, thanks Rocio!
