GoodTherapy.org and HealthCentral Team Up to Create Customized Therapist Directories

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- GoodTherapy.org, a leading international organization of therapists dedicated to providing healthy and empowering psychotherapy, and HealthCentral (www.HealthCentral.com), the leading collection of online condition-specific consumer health and wellness experiences, have come together to provide the online public with easy access to online directories of hand-reviewed and licensed therapists.

GoodTherapy.org runs a leading therapist directory with the industry's most stringent requirements for membership and will be powering customized therapist directories for several HealthCentral websites including Wellsphere.com, TheBody.com and HealthCentral.com.  

"We are very pleased to work with HealthCentral in its efforts to provide direct access to therapists, and applaud them for giving mental health the focus it deserves as an integral part of overall wellness," says Noah Rubinstein, Executive Director at GoodTherapy.org. The GoodTherapy.org Directory platform provides users with detailed and personalized information about each therapist as well as other features that make the process of evaluating, selecting and then contacting a therapist less daunting and more effective.

With the work done in psychotherapy being highly personal, the ability to find the right therapist who is not only qualified but the right match can be challenging.  As health seekers increasingly turn online to find such services, the ability to provide an experience that is not only custom to that individual searching, but safe, is critical.

"We are happy to provide our users access to the comprehensive therapist directories GoodTherapy.org has to offer," said Christopher M. Schroeder, CEO of HealthCentral.  "This collaboration provides a unique opportunity for people in need to find a therapist specific to the condition they specifically are dealing with in a trusted and safe environment."
