I took a 50-question self-test on "attachment style". The website stated "After finishing this test you will receive a FREE snapshot report with a summary evaluation and graph. You will then have the option to purchase the full results for $6.95". Well, I guess they didn't lie, but their "snapshot" consisted of a single score ("69") on a single domain of a multi-faceted test - pretty much worthless on its own. This snapshot did not even include specification of my overall measured attachment style, let alone any interpretation of my results. I feel like they took my data and gave me nothing. I take a lot of online psychological tests. I understand there is an exchange and that companies will charge money for detailed results. But most companies give the basic results free. I mean, otherwise there is no incentive whatsoever to take the test (unless one wants to buy the result). I feel I was cheated here. My father worked for Psychology Today (the magazine) in the 1960s. They have really fallen since then. Online articles seem to be written by whoever - irregardless of credentials. It all just seems like one big advertising business to generate passive income. Really lousy. I can see from the other reviews that I am not alone in this conclusion.

I am a certified coach. I was told that Psychology Today allows coaches on their platform, but they are refusing to accept my credentials even though I am an ordained minister, certified mental health coach, and certified professional life coach. After contacting customer service, they approved my account then the next day they deactivated it saying I do not qualify to be on their platform.

My daughters pediatric doctor suggested going to Psychology Today website to find a therapist for her. We have sent emails to several with no responses from any except one. The one that setup a virtual consultation didn’t even show up for the consultation. No email, no phone call, nothing. I called her office and it just rings with no response. Thanks for nothing Nadia Holmes. Why are pediatric docs recommending this site for finding a therapist instead of loca doctors? After 6 attempts with different therapist. We are done. This site is horrible. I will have to try another avenue for my 15yr old.

Exploitative, uncommunicative organisation. The anti-thesis of therapy. Beware.

How do I leave a review about a psychologist my partner and I had in through this company? There is nowhere to leave a review. There has been no follow up or anything. Wanted to find out how to leave a review as when you talk to a therapist, you are seeking to get help and when the help is not forthcoming, if will leave you in a more compromised and vulnerable position. Any help/ direction would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a provider listed on Psychology Today. Their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced. They don't provide any way for clinicians to provide feedback or make suggestions about the platform, and when I contacted them with a complaint, their customer service reps actually ghosted me. I wasn't asking for Psychology Today to immediately change their platform to meet my expectations, I was simply asking for my feedback to be acknowledged and for assurance that it reached the desk of someone in management. In this post-pandemic era, many therapists are licensed in multiple states in order to provide teletherapy to patients across the country. Psych Today requires clinicians to create multiple accounts and separately pay for each account if we want to show up in search results for more than two states! This is a bad faith move and an enormous financial burden on small business owners, in addition to a sign that the company is hopelessly out of touch with the professional needs of contemporary therapists. Behind the scenes, this company is unprofessional and clearly doesn't prioritize the clinicians or patients it claims to serve. There are plenty of other sites that connect therapists with clients, and with service like this, Psychology Today will become gradually less relevant to therapists until it finally goes out of business.

Absolutely disgusting and discriminatory articles about certain mental health conditions which are already marginalised and shamed on a daily basis resulting in suicides and ostracisation. Shame on this supposedly "credible" source.

Impossible to contact the customer service, the website doesn't work. I subscribed to the magazine in November and still nothing... I am cancelling my subscription. Extremely poor experience and I feel robbed.
