Online since 1995, when finding a therapist on the web was a brand-new idea.

For nearly thirty years people have come to Psychology.com to understand their minds and find care. Two people are carrying it into its next chapter.

Our story

1995

Founded

Michael Callans launches Psychology.com, among the very first mental health resources on the web, when most people had never looked for care online.

Late 90s

The original therapist directory

The site becomes one of the internet's first directories for finding a therapist, when "search for a therapist online" was a new idea.

2000s

A trusted reference

For two decades, people return to make sense of conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and to find professional help.

2026

A new chapter

Acquired by Seph Fontane Pennock and rebuilt from the ground up: new evidence-based guides, a modern directory, the same founding mission.

Michael Callans

Founding Advisor & Content Reviewer · since 1995

How we work

Every page has to pass one test: would this help someone we love, at 2am, when they're scared?

  • Reviewed for accuracy. Checked against established sources like the NIMH, Mayo Clinic, and the NHS before it goes live.
  • Independent. Our guidance is never shaped by advertisers; listings stay separate from what we write.
  • Licensed only. The directory lists qualified, licensed professionals, so the next step leads to real care.
  • Honest about limits. Education, not diagnosis. We say plainly when something needs a professional.

Psychology.com is an information and directory service, not a healthcare provider, and using it does not create a provider relationship. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (US) any time.
