Know who's behind the advice you read.
·
Psychology.com has helped people understand their minds since 1995. Today it is run by two people you can meet below and overseen by an editorial board of licensed psychologists and counselors, each with a name and a profile you can check.
Free for readers, always. Therapist profiles show dated license checks you can verify.
See who oversees the information you read
Our editorial board oversees content by subject. A dated Reviewed label means an expert personally reviewed that page; subject oversight alone does not establish a personal review.

Check a therapist's credentials before you get in touch
- License verified
- An active license was confirmed with the therapist's state licensing board, with the check date shown on the profile.
- NPI registry match
- The profile was matched to the federal NPI Registry. This confirms identity and licensed profession in the registry. It is a separate check from the state license confirmation above.
Check the badge, date and source links on the profile before you contact a therapist.
See how your free resources are funded
Guides, tests and scores, tools, directory search and the matching tool are free and need no account. We do not run banner ads or sell personal information.
The money comes from five places: an optional $17 personalized report after a test, $147 practical kits offered to some report buyers, therapist memberships at $49 a month or $490 a year with no per-lead fees, continuing education courses for clinicians, and affiliate commissions on some product links. Paying members are listed first in the directory with a Featured badge; payment does not change match results or verification.

What this site can and cannot do
Psychology.com provides educational information, screeners, tools and a therapist directory. Screeners support reflection and cannot establish a diagnosis. Psychology.com does not provide healthcare, and using the site does not create a provider relationship.
