Hi Folks,
In an effort to create a document that will help consumers to be informed about how to know the differences between unhealthy and healthy therapy. I'm asking for your wisdom. Here are some of my questions that I’d love to have your input on:
What are the warning signs of unhealthy therapy?
How do you recommend choosing a therapist?
What should you expect from a healthy and effective therapist?
In answering these try to be unspecific about the model of therapy, these should be universals that hold trut regardless of which kind... Read More

Hi Friends, I'm writing to clear up some confusion about Good Therapy's position on the different models of therapy list. Originally our intention was to limit the list to only models we could endorse as nonpathologizing, empowering, and collaborative. This is truly a difficult task, one that requires the research funding of a large university, not the salary of a private practice therapist. And becasue it's not the theory that makes a model healthy and effective, but rather the therapist, we see little point... Read More

I’ve received two requests to add Psychoanalysis to our list of therapies and I thought this would be a valuable discussion topic and one that would help me to make a decision about whether or not to include this type of therapy. Here’s my problem: I know this may be biased and outdated, but the association I have (no pun intended) when I think of Psychoanalysis is of a withdrawn, unresponsive, and impersonal figure providing well-timed interpretations about the transference of their “patient,” who lays with the analyst sitting...

We are limited. We greet our clients with great hope. We have spent countless hours studying our trade, doing our own inner work, mastering our technique, and learning to “Be” with our clients.

Yet, there are times when we can’t. We believe a good therapist never gives up hope that a person can heal in this lifetime, but also recognizes that he or she may not be the one to help, that...
