In short
- Everything on Psychology.com is for education. Nothing here is medical advice, a diagnosis or treatment, and no test result is a verdict on you.
- The therapist directory is a listing service. We check licenses and show the date of each check on the profile; the care you arrange is between you and the therapist.
- Tests, tools and guides are free and need no account. A paid item (a report, a kit, a membership, a course) is priced on the page where you buy it.
- A therapist or coach who lists with us must hold the licenses they claim and keep the listing accurate. Membership pricing and the free period are on the List your practice page.
- Profiles, messages and reviews are written by their authors, not by us. We may moderate, edit or remove them.
- You may read and link to anything here. Scraping, copying or republishing substantial parts needs our permission.
What these terms cover
Acceptance
By using Psychology.com, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Not medical advice
The content on Psychology.com is for general education only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified health professional. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here. In an emergency, call your local emergency number, or call or text 988 in the US.
The therapist directory
The directory is an advertising and listing service. We do not employ the therapists listed, do not provide treatment, and do not recommend or endorse any provider. Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement. We do not guarantee the qualifications, availability, or outcomes of any provider. Verify a provider's credentials and licensing with the relevant state board before beginning care. Any relationship you form is between you and that provider.
Therapist accounts and listings
If you create a listing, you represent that you are the person or authorized representative of the practice described, that you hold the licenses you claim and they are active and in good standing, and that the information you provide is accurate. You grant us a license to display and promote your listing. You are responsible for keeping it accurate. We may review, edit, refuse, suspend, or remove any listing, and we may verify your credentials, at our discretion. Membership pricing and the free period are stated on the List your practice page at the time you sign up; we may change prices or features for new sign-ups with notice, and the rate you joined at is honored for as long as the page said it would be.
Verification and the "Verified" badge
A "Verified" badge means a member of our team checked the provider's license or primary credential against a government or licensing-board source at a point in time. It is a trust signal, not a guarantee of competence, current standing, or fitness for your needs, and it does not create any liability for us. Providers without a badge are listed based on the information they or public records provided. Always confirm credentials yourself before beginning care.
Profiles, reviews, and user content
Profiles, messages, and any reviews are created by users and providers, not by us. We are not responsible for, and do not endorse, user-submitted content, and consistent with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act we are not the publisher or speaker of it. We may, but are not obligated to, moderate, edit, or remove content. Do not submit content that is false, defamatory, infringing, or that discloses another person's private or health information. If you respond to a review about your practice, do not confirm whether someone was your client or disclose any treatment details.
Acceptable use
- Use the site lawfully and do not misuse or attempt to disrupt it.
- Do not scrape, copy, or republish content without permission.
- Do not submit false, harmful, or infringing information.
Intellectual property
The content, design, and trademarks on this site are owned by Psychology.com or its licensors and are protected by law. You may view and share links to our pages, but you may not reproduce substantial portions without permission.
Disclaimers and liability
The site and directory are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Psychology.com is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any damages arising from your use of the site, reliance on its content or directory, or any interaction with a provider you found through it.
Indemnification
If you are a provider or you submit content, you agree to indemnify and hold Psychology.com harmless from claims arising out of your listing, your content, your professional services, or your breach of these terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located there, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised terms.
