Is there a website that reviews therapists?
GoodTherapy reviews and testimonials from therapist members, leaders in the field of psychotherapy, and people visiting GoodTherapy to find a therapist and/or therapy-related resources. Above all, you should expect a therapeutic environment that is compassionate, empathetic, and safe. A therapist or counselor’s role is to offer you insights into your experiences, advice on how to handle issues, and evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions. Therapists & counsellors expect trust in the sense that both parties understand and are committed to spend every session building it. The most critical component of trust is honesty, so consider being upfront about the fact that you do not trust a therapist 100% with certain information to be good practice at honesty. It is quite common for people to feel better after attending a few sessions of therapy. This can be attributed to a bit of a placebo effect. You start attending therapy, you become hopeful of things getting better, you have a therapist you like, and you are able to share with them some of your struggles. A great counselor is someone who can use compassion, empathy, respect and authenticity to form a genuine, trusting relationship with their clients.
Why don t therapists have reviews?
There are a few reasons for this. 1) Therapists are typically not allowed to ask for reviews like most other businesses and 2) Most therapy clients don’t write reviews. Because a therapy session is totally and completely about you, it isn’t quite a two-way conversation. A therapist or psychiatrist is actually trained to listen. They are not only listening to what you are saying, they are listening for what you are not saying. A client doesn’t think about their therapy in between sessions. A client is not looking forward to seeing their therapist. A client or their therapist is trying harder and harder to find a way forward. A therapist does not give a convincing explanation for a client’s issue or outline a convincing way forward. Therapists do get frustrated with clients from time to time, but some can handle difficult clients better than others. This may be due to training or inherent personality traits.

We walk a fine line of being on your side but making sure that you are grounded and can maintain proper boundaries. So yes, we as therapists do talk about our clients (clinically) and we do miss our clients because we have entered into this field because we remain hopeful for others.
