Psychotherapy practice

Stress & Anxiety Services

About the project:

Stress & Anxiety Services of New Jersey is an independent psychotherapy practice based in New Jersey. I have been working with this client since 2021, beginning with a full migration of their old WordPress website to a more modern and sleek design on Squarespace. At that stage, the client provided very specific instructions, and my role was to execute their vision and ensure the migration was seamless.

Redesign project:

In August 2023, the client returned with a request to redesign several key pages including the Homepage, About Us, New Clients, On-Demand CE Offerings, Outreach, and Contact Us. Unlike the original migration, this redesign gave me almost full creative control, with only a few constraints such as the hero image on the homepage.

The updated version reflects a much more cohesive and thoughtful design. The new layouts improve readability, navigation, and overall flow while presenting the practice in a more professional and approachable way. Before-and-after screenshots highlight the transformation, showing a clear step forward in both style and usability.

Key improvements:

  • Migration from WordPress to Squarespace for a more manageable, modern platform

  • Initial build executed to client’s exact specifications and vision

  • 2023 redesign with greater creative freedom, resulting in a cohesive and professional look

  • Enhanced readability and navigation for core pages including Homepage, About Us, and New Clients

  • Before-and-after comparison demonstrates the evolution and improved design approach

Result:

A clean, modern, and user-friendly website that better communicates the professionalism and mission of Stress & Anxiety Services of New Jersey. The redesign not only elevated the site’s look and usability, but also reflected the client’s ongoing trust in my work, having partnered with me since 2021.
