How verification works

✓ License verified means we confirmed an active license with the therapist's state board on the date shown on their profile. ✓ NPI match means identity and the profession on record were matched to the federal NPI Registry, which is not a check of license standing. ✓ Registration verified means we confirmed an active out-of-state telehealth registration with that state's health department, shown only for therapists who have no license check on file.

How members are checked

The checks are the product. Each one is dated on the member’s profile with a link to the source, so you never take our word for it. Older listings that predate membership carry no badge until they are checked.

  1. NPI Registry match

    Before a member profile goes live, the name and the profession on record are matched to the federal NPI Registry. No match, no membership.

  2. State board lookup

    Where the state board offers a public license lookup, the license number and standing are checked there. Profiles that pass carry the "License verified" badge.

  3. Dated, with the link

    Both checks show the date they were made and link to the registry or board page, so you can repeat them in a minute. How we verify →
