My site is www.faspsych.com.

Right now there is an index file (index.html) in the root directory that automatically redirects to www.faspsych.com/dotnetnuke.

In the web.config file I see a spot to remove the header to make it look like they're on faspsych.com, but i tried "/dotnetnuke" "dotnetnuke" "/dotnetnuke/" and "dotnetnuke/", none of which seem to have done anything except make my site inaccessible.

Anything I can do or am I stuck with all visitors seeing /dotnetnuke?

you need to install DNN in the root of your web site - unfortunately not all hosting providers support it. Besides, you may need to adopt a number of absolute or server relative links to images and documents in your site.

So there's nothing to do to hide that URL? I was wondering then what that line in the web.config file did. I don't need the browser bar to show the actual URL just the relative URL, but no idea if that's possible.

<add key="HostHeader" value="" />
    <!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->

 It's a URL with a path.  The www.sample.com portion of a URL specifies the server, the /dotnetnuke is the folder path on that server to your application.  The only way to remove a folder path is to not have it in the first place, putting the application in the website root is what eliminates the path.  The folder name is not part of the header.

No I understand. What does that hostheader do, if anything, in the web.config file? And short of putting it all in an iFrame or something crazy, any way to get the url to remain in their address bar without dotnetnuke even though it's in a DNN directory?
