Sifting through a compendium of professional therapists and counselors can seem like a daunting task in any location, but in New York, where such professionals are in ample supply and cater to everything from broad to minutely specialized subjects, the search can present a monumental time challenge. Many groups have attempted to solve the problem by delivering convenience in the form of "elite" directories, but the methods used to obtain these lists are often less than perfect. By allowing anyone to join their therapist directory, most of these lists open the door for those of questionable practices so long as they can afford the cost. But one organization is proving through it's fast-growing international member base, which has this week announced the attainment of several thousand professionals, that quality care is in high demand -- even as the economy slumps.

A far bigger drain on time than an initial therapist search, finding that a mental health care professional is negative, derogatory, or otherwise unhelpful and not suited to creating a proactive and beneficial working relationship can be devastating. It is here that GoodTherapy.org aims to aid those in search of a New York therapist. The organization focuses on advocating for healthy psychotherapy that is empowering, non-pathologizing, and collaborative, and will only accept listings from professionals who embrace and practice these aspects of treatment.

An emerging online resource for both clients and professionals, GoodTherapy.org enjoys a passionate tradition of education about the potential for people to realize their goals and achieve happiness while tending to the internal emotional and psychological obstacles in their path. The organization recently revealed that its international membership has reached over 4,000 mental health care professionals, all of whom align themselves with Good Therapy's principles. Reaching over fifty thousand unique visitors each month, Good Therapy is extending its advocacy and referral services to meet the needs and desires of the modern therapist, counselor, and their clients, a goal that is perhaps more important than ever before while tough financial times take their toll on psychological well-being.

Amid the fast pace and often chaotic atmosphere of New York, the calm and clarity of GoodTherapy.org's mission makes good sense. Far from being just another list of practitioners eager to spread their advertising as thin as possible, GoodTherapy.org's Therapist New York offers a collection of the area's best -- according to the path for attainment of health and happiness.
