Feel Validated is a verified clinician directory where your credentials speak for themselves. Spend less time marketing and more time on what makes you a great therapist — client care, self-care, and staying current with your training. On Feel Validated, the better you are at your craft, the better your profile looks. No SEO. No gaming algorithms. Just proof.
On existing directories, therapists select specializations from a checklist with zero verification. A weekend workshop and a decade of supervised practice look identical.
Psychology Today now accepts payment from VC-backed therapy companies to rank their therapists above independent practitioners. You're paying $30/month to be outranked by corporate competitors.
Clients can't distinguish genuine expertise from marketing. Fake reviews and inflated credentials have made online directories unreliable across every professional service.
Platforms incentivize volume over quality. When therapists are pushed to see 35–40 clients per week, both clinician wellbeing and client outcomes suffer.
AI-powered verification meets human expertise to create profiles clients can actually trust.
Upload training certificates, supervised hours logs, continuing education records, and other documentation for each claimed specialization.
Our system cross-references documentation, validates credentials against issuing bodies, and calculates an expertise depth score for each specialization.
Sign the Feel Validated Practice Pledge — a transparent commitment to caseload limits, practicing within your training, and ongoing professional development.
Every clinician on Feel Validated agrees to transparent, measurable commitments that protect both their practice and their clients.
Commit to a weekly client maximum that supports quality care (research-informed range, publicly displayed on profile).
Use approaches you have documented training and experience in for the conditions being treated.
Complete verified professional development annually, beyond licensing minimums, in your claimed specializations.
Only claim expertise in areas with documented training and experience. Refer out when appropriate.
Our commitment to you: No pay-for-placement. Ever.
Your ranking on Feel Validated is determined by your verified credentials — not by who has the deepest pockets. Unlike other directories, we will never accept payment to boost one therapist above another.
Fake reviews and unverified credentials plague every professional service. Feel Validated is building the trust infrastructure the internet never had — starting where it matters most.
