You want

COUNT(CASE WHEN p.added_on BETWEEN '2004-03-07' AND '2004-03-14' THEN p.profile_id ELSE NULL END) AS "Total 03/07/04"

or

COUNT(CASE WHEN p.added_on BETWEEN '2004-03-07' AND '2004-03-14' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) AS "Total 03/07/04"

or

COUNT(CASE WHEN p.added_on BETWEEN '2004-03-07' AND '2004-03-14' THEN 42 ELSE NULL END) AS "Total 03/07/04"

or

COUNT(CASE WHEN p.added_on BETWEEN '2004-03-07' AND '2004-03-14' THEN true ELSE NULL END) AS "Total 03/07/04"

which is all the same.
