GoodTherapy.org Association Attracts Counselors and Therapists Worldwide

Therapists and counselors worldwide are seeking the advantages of belonging to GoodTherapy.org, an association which promotes healthy psychotherapy and aims to put the "health" back into the mental health field.

Anchorage, AK (PRWEB) November 27, 2007 -- Therapists and counselors worldwide are seeking the advantages of belonging to the GoodTherapy.org Association. GoodTherapy.org lists some 2000 mental health professionals in over 25 countries around the globe; all of whom provide empowering, collaborative, and non-pathologizing forms of psychotherapy & counseling services. GoodTherapy.org is an amazing service for counselors and therapy seekers alike.

What makes GoodTherapy.org stand out among other online organizations is their dedication to promoting healthy psychotherapy. Though there are numerous therapy directories on the internet, many of these directories have no standard for choosing who they accept as members. GoodTherapy.org grants membership to only those select therapists & counselors who adhere to the principles of healthy psychotherapy. Based on their tremendous growth, popularity and the number of visitors who frequent GoodTherapy.org, it is obvious that given a choice, people would rather search a directory of counselors who are health-based, than search anywhere else. People are naturally drawn to Good Therapy if they are looking for counselors who will treat them with respect, unconditional positive regard, and help them to help themselves.

Yet, the GoodTherapy.org Association provides much more than a directory of counselors. It has a wealth of information about healthy psychotherapy and related topics. Those looking into individual, family, or marriage counseling can read dozens of articles on the different types of treatments and approaches to healing. And there are articles on all kinds of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, addictions, alcoholism, and trauma, to name a few. By the time consumers have fully explored the site, they will be equipped to know how to find a healthy therapist and to tell the difference between empowering forms of therapy and those that focus purely on deficits.

The noble intention of GoodTherapy.org is to help inform consumers, who may know little about psychotherapy or who are considering therapy, to have a better sense of what healthy therapy is about. "With everything we do, GoodTherapy hopes to bring healthy, non-pathologizing psychotherapy into the mainstream and put the "health" back into the mental health field. There are some circles in our profession who have forgotten that people are basically loving and loveable at their core. Our experience is that nearly everyone has an innate capacity to return to their loving and happy self if they put in the time, energy, and have a good therapist to help guide them," Noah Rubinstein, LMFT, Executive Director said.

In addition to the free resources provided to site visitors, benefits to the counselors listed in the GoodTherapy.org directory include referrals; free continuing education, free advertising of workshops, opportunities to contribute featured articles, and many others. What is more, therapists can grow their practices at a rapid rate with the internet exposure afforded them by GoodTherapy.org
