Blogging on Good Therapy

Dear Members:

We’re writing with some important announcements about your listing:

1. GoodTherapy has updated our Terms of Service.  This is one of two documents that all GoodTherapy.org members agree to before joining  (The other is the “Elements of Good Therapy“)  Over the last few months a number of members have pointed out how confusing our Terms of Service document was.  So we’ve finally reorganized it, narrowed it down (10 pages to about 5), translated much of the legal babble, and made it much more “human” than it was before.  We hope you’ll find the document much easier to read, though we’re sure it’s still the cure for insomnia :)  If you’d like to review it go here:  Terms of Service.

2. During the sign up process members now have a choice to select one of 6 licensure designations.  These options are:

A. I’m a licensed mental health professional.
B. I’m a certified mental health professional.
C. I’m an accredited mental health professional
D. I’m a registered mental health professional
E. I’m prelicensed / precertified / preaccredited.
F. Other (see explanation below).

If you need to change your designation to the prelicensed option feel free to log back in and update your profile.  Click here if you can’t remember your password.

3. Last week we posted a new Blog article titled “How to Choose a Counselor or Therapist.”  We’d really appreciate you’re suggestions and feedback.  Perhaps there’s another guideline you have in mind which we could add to the document?  Please have a look at the 15 guidelines for choosing a therapist and feel free to post your comments by clicking on the ” Comments” link near the bottom of the article.  All feedback and suggestions are welcome.

4. For those of you interested in our website statistics, we’re pleased to let you know that we’re getting thousands of hits per month.  In just over 3 months, nearly 10,000 searches for therapists have been counted and hundreds of emails to therapists through our system have been sent.    We expect theses numbers to triple in the next few months due to our online marketing efforts…   Thanks again for helping to make GoodTherapy.org a success.   It’s a pleasure to help influence the mental health community in a positive way and to imagine all the people who will benefit by finding you through GoodTherapy.org.  Thanks for being a part of this. 

5. Lastly, we ask you to please help us by putting a link to GoodTherapy.org on your website.  Even if it’s in a place on your site where people don’t see it, the search engines (such as Google) will see it and that will help us go higher in search engine rankings.

Thanks to all of you,

Noah Rubinstein, LMFT and The GoodTherapy.org Team  :)
