New Year's Resolutions for 2026

For Online Therapist Directories

It's a new year -- so if you run a therapist directory, please take note. You can do better to help therapists and, most importantly, help those seeking therapy.

It's 2026, so it's time for some New Year's Resolutions... for therapist directories.

Here's what we came up with -- but what did we miss?

New year's resolutions for online therapist directories.

New Year's Resolutions for Therapist Directories:

  1. Ask yourself: Are you actually helping people find care? Is that your goal?
  2. Be transparent about the source of your data.
  3. Make corrections/removals easy for therapists.
  4. Prioritize accuracy and consent over clicks.
  5. Remember: Real people are seeking mental health support when they stumble upon your directory.
  6. Most Importantly: Ask permission before publishing therapist profiles!

Let's keep this list going!

And also, here's our latest Therapist Search Report, if you want to keep tabs on these directories -- and how you rank on them!

We hope your year is off to a wonderful start!
