A quick search for area therapists on a main search engine will immediately make a statement about today's internet therapy culture: it is difficult. Within the context of a large number of mental health websites competing for prominence in a bid to offer members useful incentives and options to accelerate their practice, the market for linking potential clients with psychotherapists is great. Distinct from the culture of making it to the top by means of throwing the most funds at advertising, a particular directory is making the rounds with a vision of caring. GoodTherapy.org, a relatively new directory in comparison to its major competitors, is reaping the rewards of an increase in notoriety among net surfers and related therapists alike, and has this week unveiled a stunning 120,000 visitors per month, along with the second highest number of unique visitors for psychotherapy directories on the internet.
The figures mark a major achievement for the website and its community, which has transformed from a modest and tightly-knit collection of therapists to broaden and welcome a great number of new users and participants. The website's participants can host an informative profile including modern new multimedia features and offer their thoughts and perspectives with other members via a dedicated blog and frequently refreshed current events headlines at http://www.goodtherapy.org/
Among the website's rivals are directories that have succeeded through volume alone, like Fix My Family, Therapist Unlimited, Psychology Today, and 1-800-Therapist. Although such directories offer what they claim --a potential client is certain to come across a local therapist whether they are based in a major metropolis or a distant blip on the map--, they are all about mass, instead of meaning, a shortcoming that is becoming dangerous for business as GoodTherapy.org rises in fame.
The website hopes to bring its philosophy of good therapy to professionals and their clients in all of life's difficult situations. As the psychotherapists included at http://www.goodtherapy.org/
