GoodTherapy

GoodTherapy maintains a database of thousands of vetted, licensed therapists and counselors, with detailed individual profiles describing each provider's training, experience, and therapeutic approach. The search engine allows filtering by mental health issue (anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, etc.), therapy modality (CBT, DBT, somatic, etc.), and demographic factors. Each therapist profile includes credentials, biography, and often sample rates to help students understand costs upfront.

The vetting process is a key differentiator; GoodTherapy reviews all listed providers for legitimate licensure and credentials, reducing the risk of unlicensed practitioners. College students appreciate the ability to browse therapists by specialty concern, since campus health centers often have limited options. The platform appeals to students who want to compare multiple qualified providers before reaching out.
