For "therapist near me", Google weighs three things: how well a practice matches the search, how near it is, and how well known it seems. You can't move your office, but you can do a lot about the other two.
It's free, and it's what shows on the map. Choose your categories carefully, add your hours and your website's address, and say whether you see clients online.
A page about anxiety therapy in your town matches "anxiety therapist in Portland" far better than a list of eight specialties on one page. Write each in plain words, as a client would describe it - with the other pages new clients look for alongside.
The title and short description Google shows are your first impression. "Couples Counseling in Austin" beats "Services" every time.
Your practice's name, address and phone should match on your site, your Google profile and directories. Mismatches make Google less sure they're all you.
Your directory profiles, a professional association, a local group you speak to: each link to your site tells Google you're real.
