What This Therapist Signature Includes
Each item below is already in the template. Replace the sample details, including the license number placeholder.
License title and number
Your license abbreviation follows your name, with the full title and a license number line underneath, in the format California's board shows as acceptable.
Practice name and booking link
Your practice name sits with your title, and a scheduling icon links straight to your consultation booking page.
Crisis-resources note
A short note says the inbox is not monitored for emergencies and points to 988 or local emergency services.
Quiet, text-first layout
Contact details sit on one line as plain text links, with no banner or button competing for attention.
Common Email Client Quirks (And How We Solve Them)
Email signatures frequently collapse in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail. Here is how our compiled HTML prevents formatting disasters.
Issue:Some clients hide images until the reader allows them, so icon-only links can look empty.
Issue:Gmail rejects a signature over its size limit with 'The signature is too long'.

Best practices for Therapists & Counselors email signatures
Show your license title and number
California's Board of Behavioral Sciences expects licensee advertising to show your name, your license title or an accepted abbreviation, and your license number. If your signature promotes your practice, that is a sensible baseline; check what your own board requires.
Tell clients where to go in a crisis
Email is not an emergency channel. A short note pointing to 988 (call, text or chat, 24/7 in the US) and to emergency services for immediate danger sets that expectation before it matters.
Keep client details out of subject lines
Subject lines show up in notifications and previews. HHS guidance on emailing patients recommends limiting the amount of health information in unencrypted email, so keep names and session details out of the subject.
Frequently Asked Questions for Therapists & Counselors
Do I have to put my license number in my email signature?
It depends on your state and license type. California's Board of Behavioral Sciences requires LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs and LEPs to include their name, license title or an accepted abbreviation, and license number in advertising, with examples such as 'LMFT, License #999999'. Its guidance does not say whether an email signature counts as advertising, so check with your licensing board.
Can I describe my work as 'psychology'?
In California, the Board of Behavioral Sciences says 'psychology' is a protected term for licensed psychologists and that 'psychotherapy' can be used instead. Other states set their own title rules.
What should a crisis note say?
Say that email is not monitored for emergencies and where to go instead. In the US, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline can be reached by call, text or chat, 24/7, and SAMHSA advises calling 911 if someone is in immediate danger.
