Psychology Today: Health, Help, Happiness + Find a Therapist

Psychology Today is the worlds largest online site for mental health and behavioral science. It is the original and largest publication dedicated to the study of human behavior. Our motto is "At Your Service" and you are now accessing the go-to resource for expert-written psychology and mental health information from around the world.

PsychologyToday.com is the worlds largest psychotherapy portal, providing free access to information from hundreds of thousands of professionals. While Psychology Today has expanded its mission to span decades and continents, we have never stopped satisfying the natural human curiosity about our favorite subject - ourselves.

Here is a detailed explanation of how we work and why we are able to authoritatively address all aspects of human behavior and connect users to mental health experts when they need clinical help.

Find a Therapist

This directory lists clinical professionals, psychiatrists, and treatment centers that provide mental health services. We have now helped millions of people find care and support in 20 countries.

The launch in 2003 marked the beginning of Psychology Todays “At Your Service” not only in the realm of editorial information, but also in the sometimes urgent but always important business of connecting consumers with licensed clinicians. These clinicians offer detailed profiles and video introductions to showcase their expertise, and are easily accessible through confidential email and phone exchanges.

The Magazine

It all started in print. In 1967, Nicholas Charney founded Psychology Today with a passion to bring psychology to the masses. He succeeded. By 1981, the magazine had a circulation of over 1 million.

Then, as now, Psychology Today was known for its authoritative, translated science writing, inviting individuals and luminaries in the field of psychology to write about their own and others work in ways that the average reader could understand. Psychology Today introduced the concepts of "groupthink" and "six degrees of separation" and has featured prominent psychiatrists and psychologists from Viktor Frankl to Carl Rogers and Albert Ellis.

The magazine, which has won awards for editorial and design, is published six times a year. The magazine has been archived on this site since 1992.

PsychologyToday.com publishes content written by clinicians, experts, and researchers in the fields of behavioral and psychological science. The site includes a diagnostic dictionary, a comprehensive guide to diagnosable conditions; hundreds of commonly used and need-to-know psychology basics, a complete overview of types of therapy, and comprehensive content centers dedicated to topics ranging from ADHD to parenting.
