Hello, I’m Emily Mendez, MS, Eds
Founder of Priceless Copy
Former therapist, now PR and marketing expert
I help behavioral health practices with:
Public relations and media visibility
Inspirational social media
Local SEO for therapists
Creative storytelling with heart and strategy
Trustworthy science-based articles & blog posts
Powerful copywriting that positions them as a thought-leader
Mental health PR & marketing guided by empathy (and a DSM in the drawer) since 2015.
I used to be a psychotherapist, but after years of graduate education and clinical work, I realized something was missing. My real passion lived at the intersection of mental health and writing. I left my practice and started freelancing when I discovered a passion and a talent for mental health writing. I also began freelancing as a public relations specialist and discovered a love for that, as well.
A few years later, it clicked: I could do more for mental health businesses than just write. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in marketing, on notable teams, including Sony’s, so I understand exactly how strategy, storytelling, and design come together to move people.
Then I spotted a big gap: there are some “mental-health-focused” marketing & PR agencies, but virtually zero with real clinical understanding or experience. Most are “digital marketers.” Therapists and behavioral-health brands deserve a partner who truly understands the ethics, language, and lived realities of care.
So in 2021, I launched Priceless Copy and built a badass, values-driven team. We provide mental health public relations, content, and social media marketing for therapists that are clinically accurate, trauma-aware, and conversion-focused.
