Psychology Today’s setup is designed to help their own website gain more authority in search engines rather than genuinely support providers or visitors. They do not offer meaningful backlinks to help independent websites build visibility. At the same time, they encourage people to add badges to their own sites that link back to Psychology Today, which only strengthens Psychology Today’s search standing. This approach feels one-sided and mostly serves Psychology Today’s interests. I would advise anyone to look closely at what the company actually offers before spending time or money here.

As a therapist, I’ve genuinely appreciated being part of Psychology Today. Many of the clients who have found me through the platform have been an excellent fit. I’ve given 4 stars because referrals can be inconsistent. I regularly update my profile to reflect additional training and expertise, but with so many therapists listed, it can still be challenging for clients to find the right match.

Getting a decent therapist in London UK is a nightmare. They haven't got a clue.They are judgemental, condescending, and either say nothing or disregard what you say and preach nonsense they obviously read from a book. I feel pantronised, angry and anxious when I finish the session. Being a member of BACP means nothing and most will only do Zoom at double the price pre-covid. I want to see the therapist in person. Psychology Today lists many unqualified therapists. In the UK anyone can call themselves a therapist as over here they are not legally regulated. I have given up on them. They are so poorly trained, lack experience and give textbook answers and advice. It feels like they have zero life experience and are winging it to keep enough clients on their books. Some 'therapists' are only £10 cheaper than a clinical psychologist. It's all a big scam For the people on here that are still having money taken from your account, cancel your card. Say you lost it. Then they can't get at your money. Good luck and be careful - there are so many fake people out there. Good people are hard to find, especially following covid. Avoid BetterHelp, another scam.

Out dated references, therapists taking new patients / outdated insurance . Most single office don't take insurance because of the paperwork time it takes to complete the insurance is costly for them . Medicare reimburses them $25 so i paid my therapist the $25 so she doesn't have to do paperwork and we can have more sessions than the insurance allow for since im willing to pay out the $25 "copay" when i run out of billable sessions. Therapists : i left detailed messages in several so as not to waste time, well don't wait for a return confirmation even if its a NO. UNPROFESSIONAL! One guy set up 2 appointments with me, no-showed on the zoom calls and then after i moved on called me and said he was in hospital, well Ok isn't an answering service taking care of your patient load of phone calls for you while your recovering and not able to respond ? WTH!! Doing more due diligence i found one who had many family issues bipolar trans schiz siblings malignant narcissistic father malignant narcissistic controlling mother and just out of school he was supposed to be an advocate for what he didn't accept in his own life/family. Lots of these ppl have issues too, so check their social media and relatives so you are not fooled by a pretty or handsome face and young voice . Young means zero life experience and if born 1990 or sooner , no thanks . you couldn't possibly have enough experience to handle what i've been through. My most recent , i had a session, told her my issues and what was going on in my life and how i was feeling and after she asked me "how does that make you feel" ! Sure . you didn't hear a word i said for the last 30 min? i just told you how i felt .. i cancelled future sessions I never found anyone of quality in Psych Today .

The website is basically a place for ads. It is good because it does sort by speciality, location, insurance, etc. It is not so good because not all ads are up to date (e.g., I don't always get responses from inquiries), and I don't think the therapists have been vetted.

Some information on a local therapist is either inaccurate, outdated. One address/contact info does not appear to be current. Left a voicemail (with her personal greeting) at what appears to be current information. No response. Unprofessional.

I cannot CANCEL my subscription!! There is nowhere on the website which allows for cancellation and NO PHONE NUMBER to contact them. I had to ask ChatGPT (who said many people report this about this company!) just to find an email address and have had no reply!! I will have to contact my bank to block them taking my money. They just keep billing me. I am disgusted with this behaviour and I am now going to contact the ACCC if I have not have cancellation confirmation within 24hours. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE.

Signed up for psychology today for free months. They started to take subscriptions without my knowledge. Never got a referral. Scam.
