Newly Graduated Psychologist Books 10 Sessions in Her First Week With a New Website
How do you get a patient to trust you when you’ve just graduated and nobody knows your name yet?
That’s the dilemma almost every health professional faces when leaving a salaried job to open their own practice. Authority, warmth and trust usually take years to build. Psychologist Aléxia Marques needed them in weeks.
She trusted codesampa.io with building her online presence. In the first week, the new landing page brought in 20 leads and about 10 booked sessions. Below, she tells the story in her own words.
The Challenge: Credibility in Career Transition
Before we developed your landing page, what was the biggest difficulty you faced in conveying credibility and attracting private patients online?
I was working in a clinic as an employee, had just graduated, and wanted to transition to private practice. My biggest difficulty was precisely conveying credibility as a recent graduate who was still little known in the online environment.
I didn't have a structured digital presence that showed who I am, how I work, and who my services are for. This made it very difficult to attract private patients with confidence.
Design that Translates Warmth
Psychology requires the professional to convey warmth and professionalism at first glance. How did you feel the new design helped translate your therapeutic approach to the digital environment?
The new design was essential for this. It managed to faithfully translate my approach: warmth, seriousness, ethics, and professionalism.
Even as a recent graduate, the site positioned me in a very secure and clear way, making the patient feel confident even before the first contact, which made a huge difference in their decision to schedule an appointment.
UX and Ease of Contact
Today we know that speed and ease of use are essential. Did you notice if patients found it easier to understand your services and get in touch with you through the new site structure?
Yes, clearly. The site made the path very clear: who I am, how my sessions work, and how to get in touch. This greatly reduced initial doubts and facilitated the decision-making process. Many patients arrived saying they understood everything through the site and that this gave them the security to reach out.
The numbers from week one
Measured through the page’s WhatsApp button, which sent a message identifying that the contact came from the website.
20 qualified leads coming straight from the landing page.
About 10 booked sessions, half of the leads.
Better-matched patients, aligned with her therapeutic approach from the first contact.
Real Business Impact
After launching the site, did you notice any change in the profile of patients reaching out to you or in the volume of scheduling requests via WhatsApp?
Yes, and in a very concrete way. In the very first week after launching the site, I had about 20 leads coming directly from the landing page, and from those, I managed to close approximately 10 consultations.
Besides the increase in volume, I noticed that the patients who arrived were already more aligned with my work proposal, better understanding how I operate and what to expect from the therapeutic process.
The Experience with codesampa.io
How was the creation process with codesampa.io? Did you feel that your needs were heard and technically translated in an assertive way?
The process was very smooth and humanized. I felt truly heard, especially because I had no experience with marketing or technology.
Even so, the team managed to understand exactly what I needed as a health professional and translated that technically in a very assertive way. This was fundamental for the site to be ethical, professional, and aligned with psychology while also being functional to generate results.
What this case shows
Credibility doesn’t have to take years. With a page that answers the right questions, in the right language, with a short path to contact, a recent graduate built enough trust to fill her schedule in the first week.
That’s how we work at codesampa.io: we start from the questions of whoever will visit the page, and only then think about design and technology. The goal isn’t a pretty website, it’s a website that turns visitors into clients.
