61. Is PsychToday Still Worth It in 2026?: My Honest Take


Listen Later

If you’ve been side-eyeing your Psychology Today profile lately… you’re not wrong. It’s more crowded, more competitive, and definitely not the client-generating machine it once was.

But here’s the reframe: just because it’s changed doesn’t mean it’s useless.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually true about Psychology Today in 2026—what it can do for your practice, what it can’t, and why I still believe every therapist should have a profile (yes, even now). We’re talking realistic expectations, surprising ROI, and the behind-the-scenes role it’s playing in your visibility—especially in the age of AI search.

I’m also walking you through what’s actually working on profiles right now—so if a right-fit client does land on yours, it’s doing its job.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

1️⃣ Why Psychology Today is no longer a “fill your practice” tool—but is still worth every penny

2️⃣ The unexpected way your profile is boosting your credibility in AI search (even if clients never contact you through it)

3️⃣ The key elements of a high-performing profile—from specificity to client-friendly language to the pieces most therapists are skipping
