Most directories rank by ad spend.
This one ranks by whether you measure your work.
Psychology Today, GoodTherapy, TherapyDen — they're all paid placements with checkbox filters. A client searching for someone who actually adjusts treatment based on data has no way to find that therapist, because none of those directories ask about it.
The Theracharts Directory is different. Every listed therapist signs the same three commitments — Measure, Adapt, Advocate. The "Outcomes-Driven" badge is auto-earned, not bought: it shows up on your profile once you have 3+ clients with active assessments. The clients searching here have already self-selected for measurement-based care. They're not looking for "anyone who takes my insurance" — they're looking for someone who works the way you do.
Why therapists are switching from Psychology Today
If you're paying $30/mo to be listed on a directory that doesn't ask whether you track outcomes, the comparison is short.

|---|---|---|
| Free listing on the directory | — | ✓ |
| Outcome tracking required of every listed therapist | — | ✓ |
| Verified clinical data badges (earned, not paid) | — | ✓ |

| Verified board certifications (ABPP, BCD, DBT-LBC, etc.) | — | ✓ |
| Embeddable badge for your website | — | ✓ |
| In-directory client referrals (no email chains) | — | ✓ |
| Includes a clinical intelligence tool (free Starter account) | — | ✓ |
| Pay-to-list ($30+/mo just to appear) | ✓ | — |
Comparison reflects publicly available information about each directory's signup terms. Psychology Today and other directories may add features over time.

The Theracharts Standard.
Three commitments. No quotas. No usage enforcement. The pledge is values-based — what matters is whether you actually believe it.
I will use validated outcome measures with my clients, where clinically appropriate, and review the data with them.
I will adjust treatment when the data tells me something isn't working — including referring out when that's the right call.
I will work in my client's best interest — even when that means fewer billable hours, a different modality, or a different therapist.
Built for therapists who
actually measure their work.
This directory isn't for every therapist. It's for the ones who think the gap between "we had a good session" and "the PHQ-9 dropped 4 points over the last month" is actually meaningful — and worth closing.
If you're in private practice, a small group, or a training context where you're already running assessments and just want a better way to be found — you'll feel at home. If you're moving toward measurement-based care and want a directory that recognizes that work — also at home.
If your idea of progress is "the client kept showing up" and you're optimizing for billable hours over outcomes — this probably isn't the right fit. We'd rather be the right directory for a few hundred therapists than a watered-down one for everyone.
Free to list. Pay only for what you use.

No consultants. No PMs.
Just a clinician building.
Theracharts was founded by Tanner Oliver, LCSW — a licensed clinical social worker who spent years watching clinical data slip through the cracks. PHQ-9 scores in filing cabinets. Trend comparisons done from memory. Session prep based on a quick chart skim five minutes before the client walked in.
Every clinical decision in this product was made by someone who's actually sat in the chair. That doesn't make Theracharts perfect, but it does mean the product respects the work — short forms, smart defaults, no unnecessary friction between you and the next client.
If something on your screen feels wrong, you can email contact@theracharts.com and a clinician will read it. That's a promise that's only possible because we're small and intend to stay that way.
Directory FAQ.
Is the listing really free?
Yes. The Free Starter plan includes a published directory profile with all the basics — photo, bio, specialties, contact preference, location, telehealth states. Paid plans (Pro, Practice) unlock the Outcomes-Driven badge, Verified Credentials, embeddable website badge, and in-app referrals.
Do I have to use Theracharts as my EHR?
No — we're not an EHR. Theracharts works alongside SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane, and others. Your billing, scheduling, and insurance workflow stay where they are. The directory listing doesn't require you to use any of the clinical features. Many therapists list and lurk.
What does signing The Standard commit me to?
Three values-based commitments — Measure, Adapt, Advocate. There's no usage tracking, no quota, no enforcement. The pledge is what you tell clients you stand for. We don't audit your practice. The Outcomes-Driven badge is the only feature that actually checks your usage data, and it's auto-earned, not required.
How does the Outcomes-Driven badge work?
Auto-evaluated nightly. You earn it when you have 3+ active clients with at least 3 assessments each, with ~70% of those clients having 2+ data points. It can't be bought, gamed, or applied for. Disappears if usage drops below the threshold for a sustained period. Available on Pro and Practice plans.
Will my contact info be visible to clients?
You choose. Show your phone, email, website, or any combination. Or hide all of them and route clients through an in-app contact form (so your email never appears publicly). Each option is a checkbox in your profile editor.
How are search results ranked?
By relevance to the client's filters first (specialty, insurance, telehealth state, ages served), then by distance for in-person. Featured listings (a paid post-launch slot) get a small visibility boost within their category. Founding Member and Outcomes-Driven badges don't directly affect ranking — they're trust signals on the profile itself.
How does verifying credentials work?
Upload a document (board cert, training cert, license). AI does first-pass review against the credential's expected fields; high-confidence matches auto-approve, edge cases queue for manual review. Typical turnaround is 1–3 days. 16 credentials supported (ABPP, BCD, DBT-LBC, Beck CBT, Gottman, EFT, CEDS, CST, CSAT, CGP, CADC, and more). Available on Pro and Practice.
Can I leave or unpublish anytime?
Yes. Unpublish in one click (your profile goes private but data stays). Delete in one click (profile and account removed; export your data first if you want). No exit fees, no calls, no friction.
