Part 1. Using the Monarch directory

The Monarch directory is the online network eliminating traditional barriers for therapists and therapy seekers. Specifically, Monarch is designed for behavioral health clinicians. Clinicians with non-behavioral health specialties won't see this page in their account.

Part 2. Customizing your Marketing Profile

Your Marketing profile is a marketing tool and not your resume. The purpose of your Monarch profile isn’t to present your credentials, specific license, or degree.

Your profile consists of five main sections, directory profile, basic information, insurance and fees, services, population focus. For each section, select Edit to customize the information for your profile.

Part 3. Using the Monarch directory for your group practice

If you plan on using the monarch directory for your group practice, you have control of which clinicians have listing within your practice. To edit this, navigate to Marketing > Directory. If your account type is Account Owner or Practice manager you'll see the option to Manage clinician profiles.

Part 4. Search engine optimization for Monarch and Professional website

The Professional website was designed with SEO in mind and is built in a way to surface keywords that will rank high in search results. In order to optimize SEO, we recommend inputting a page description for your practice.

Part 5. Professional website setup

The Professional website is designed to provide a simple and clean website that can be the foundation for your practice online, while still being easy to manage within your SimplePractice account.

To learn more about the Professional website feature, open the Marketing page and click Website.

Part 6. Professional website for group practices

The Professional website can be used for group practices if it is set up for the practice as a whole.

Many group practices using the Professional website use a group photo to represent all clinicians in the practice, or upload their logo and edit their About section to include information regarding additional clinicians.

Part 7. Custom domain

A custom domain is purchased outside of SimplePractice from a third party domain host. When a purchased custom domain is connected to SimplePractice, it directs visitors to the practice's Professional website.
