Can a therapist use an AI headshot on a directory profile?

Yes, as long as it looks like you and follows the directory's photo rules. Your portraits are built from about 10 of your own selfies. Pick the ones that look like you in session, so clients meet the person they expected.

What should a therapist wear for a headshot?

Something approachable: a knit, a soft blazer, a blouse or an open-collar shirt in muted, solid colors. You choose outfits and backgrounds before we create your portraits.

Which background is best for a therapist headshot?

Light, warm studio tones or a softly blurred outdoor scene feel approachable. A dark studio look suits a more clinical or psychiatric practice. You can choose several and decide afterwards.

What photo size do therapy directories need?

Most directories show a square or portrait thumbnail and accept JPG or PNG. Your portraits come in high resolution, so they stay sharp wherever the directory crops them. Check the directory's own guidelines for any content rules.

Should I smile in my therapist headshot?

A soft, natural smile with eye contact is the safe choice: it reads as warm and present. You get 54–150 portraits, so you can pick a calmer expression for a more clinical setting too.

Will clients recognize me at the first session?

They should. The portraits are built from your own selfies, so they show your face. Choose the ones that look like you on a normal day and skip any that look too polished or too young.

Can our group practice get matching headshots?

Yes. With Headshots for Teams, every clinician gets the same background and style, including people who join later. It's $45 per person, with 10% off from 6 people, 15% from 11, 20% from 26 and 25% from 51.

How much do therapist headshots cost?

A photographer typically charges about $200–$400 for a headshot session in the US, according to Thumbtack's price guide. With us you pay once: $29 for 54 portraits, $45 for 96 or $69 for 150.

How fast do I get my photos?

Starter is ready in about 30 minutes, Basic in about 15 and Premium in about 10. At busy times it can take a little longer.

Why your headshot matters in therapy

People choose a therapist they feel they could talk to. The photo is often the first thing they decide on.

Clients scroll directories. On therapy directories, your photo sits beside dozens of others. A warm, clear face gets the click.
It has to feel like you. The person in the photo should match the person in the first session. Likeness builds trust before a word is spoken.
Approachable beats polished. Soft light, natural expression and a calm background say 'safe to call' better than a corporate studio shot.
One photo across every listing. Directory, website, LinkedIn and insurance panels should show the same person.
No photo day needed. Make your portraits from selfies in about 15 minutes, between sessions.

Tips for a warm therapist headshot

Soft, natural smile. Relaxed and open. Avoid a wide grin or a very serious look; both read as distance.
Approachable clothes. A knit, a soft blazer, a blouse or an open-collar shirt in muted, solid colors. No stark black-on-white.
Calm backgrounds. Light, warm studio tones or a softly blurred outdoor scene. Dark studio works for a more clinical practice.
Eye contact. Look into the camera. Clients want to see the person they'll be talking to.
Check each directory's photo rules. Some directories have size or content guidelines for profile photos. Read them before you upload.
Match your group practice. With Headshots for Teams, every clinician gets the same background and style.
