Psychology Today

Whatever you do, do NOT go to see Paul S James. I don't know who gave this guy a degree but he is absolutely a waste of money. He gives therapists a bad name and will completely ruin your confidence of reaching out to a therapist. He charges an absolute insane amount and provides no feedback will just sit there repeating everything youve said. And "hmming" as well. He lacks everything a therapist should and should surrender his license.

As I tried to navigate the therapist in my area and either call or email- out of 50+ I got 2 responses, first one insurance didn't pay her enough and second is still in limbo- discussed with this process as someone trying to get better inside and out!

99% of these people don't respond to emails or phone calls. The few who do answer are typically brand new to this profession and are absolutely clueless. Every therapist that I've had the displeasure of working with has done nothing but overcharge me to throw meds at me that don't work. My mind and my money are the only things getting the run around here.

I am actually a Psychotherapist. Avoid this company at all costs if you are a professional. They regularly take money they should not take. And trying to get that back is a nightmare. I tried to join be they said I did not have the correct credentials. I have the academic credentials, however, because I had not joined an organization they deemed acceptable, at a cost of hundreds of dollars a year, they refused me membership. However, they still charged me, even thought they refused. It's a racket. I wrote about 15 emails asking for an explanation and for the money to be refunded. They ignored any mention the the money they took until the final email. Then gave me some lame excuse that it was for an account I had years ago, but was inactive. If you want robbed, join this lot.

Don't trust what you read. Personally know a "councilor" listed on the site claiming to have 10 years experience. I don't think going to rehab counts towards being a councilor. And half her nursing career, she's been on meth. So be careful people!

For a therapist who lists having availability to not even bother to respond to emails, and repeatedly so, has me hugely question if they even care or if it is just for the fat paycheck. It is beyond frustrating to write to several and get ZERO responses. I should amend that, last time I had one No and one Maybe that then also died. Absolutely DISGUSTING! You so-called "professionals" should be ashamed of yourselves and be removed from the site. Oh, wait --- then there would not BE any site...

The one therapist we were with for quite some time and were well established with dropped us cold turkey because "he had overbooked himself. " No warning, just "bye."

Sylvia Brown Jones from ICHANGE has been everything I needed in a therapist. I've applied all the tools she has given me over the past few years to improve my mental health and my relationships. She taught me about creating boundaries and only allowing safe people in my space. Also, knowing the meaning of expectations Vs reality and how to apply that to your daily life. I can't thank her enough. She is literally the best therapist I've could ever ask for.

The ones contributing with articles are giving based on their knowledge and opinions rather than proper research. The ones reviewing the articles by these contributors are even less qualified. It's like the blind leading the blind. The topics covered are usually just for highlights rather than helpful. The latest article on male psychology based on the Barbie film is just absurd. I mean seriously writing professional based on fictional characters?

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.
