What's Unique About GoodTherapy.org?

There are a number of therapist directories, so why choose GoodTherapy.org? We think the difference is clear:

• GoodTherapy.org is the only mental health organization and directory dedicated to helping people find therapists who work collaboratively and non-pathologically.
• GoodTherapy.org advocates for healthy psychotherapy by encouraging healing professionals to do their own work, by educating the public about the differences between healthy and unhealthy psychotherapy, and by promoting collaborative and non-pathologically based methods of therapy.
• In order for a therapist to become a Member of GoodTherapy.org, he or she must certify that the therapy they provide accords in orientation and attitude to our philosophy as defined in the Elements of Good Therapy Statement.
• This certification cannot not guarantee that every therapist listed in GoodTherapy.org works in a healthy, collaborative, and nonpathologizing way, but it comes closer to the ideal than any other directory.
• We believe that given a choice, most consumers will choose a GoodTherapy.org therapist over an unknown, which is what you can get when searching other directories.
