Our research shows that therapists are more successful in attracting new clients when their photo conveys warmth, approachability, and professionalism.
A well-lit, clear image taken in a neutral, uncluttered setting—such as a simple office or studio background—is ideal. Attire should be business casual, presenting a smart yet approachable appearance.
To avoid taking an unprofessional photo, don’t use poor lighting, like harsh shadows or dim settings, as it can distort your features. A good quality camera or phone will ensure a clear photo. Avoid cluttered backgrounds and awkward angles that don’t present you in the best light.
