How We Source Data
Trust starts with transparency. TherapyDB is a public directory committed to accurate, up-to-date information about mental health services. Here is exactly where our data comes from.
1. Public Business Records
We aggregate information from publicly available business listings and professional directories. This includes the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES), Google Business Profiles, and other public datasets of licensed healthcare providers.
2. Provider Verification
Our "Verified" badge is not for sale. It implies that we have cross-referenced a provider's listing with active state licensure databases or that the provider has claimed and verified their profile directly with us.
3. Update Cycle
We employ automated systems to check for updates on public profiles (such as address changes or business hour updates) every 90 days. Additionally, providers can request updates at any time.
4. Patient Experience Data
Ratings and reviews aggregated on our platform are sourced from authenticated Google Reviews and verified patient submissions. We do not edit or pay for reviews.
Note: While we strive for accuracy, provider availability and insurance acceptance can change daily. We always recommend contacting the office directly to confirm details before your appointment.
