GoodTherapy.org, an online “find a therapist” directory, announced it has earned accreditation from Better Business Bureau or “BBB.” This accreditation, according to GoodTherapy signifies their commitment to marketplace ethics.
BBB announced that GoodTherapy.org has met BBB’s Code of Business Practices and said that they have agreed to maintain dependable and honest business practices.
The accreditation program recognizes dependable businesses that are making the public pledge to be responsive and transparent, and to honestly advertise, honor promises and act with unity. These are considered as the important values in accordance with the attitude, spirit and other honorable principles of GoodTherapy.org.
Robert W.G. Andrew, CEO of BBB serving Alaska, Oregon, and Western Washington said, “Better Business Bureau sets and upholds the highest standards of ethics in businesses. BBB Accredited Businesses embody the commitment and values to lead our marketplace with trustworthiness and integrity.”
BBB Accreditation is only granted to those eligible businesses that meet BBB’s Code of Business Practices and establish a good business track record, hold a proper licensing and the commitment to illustrate BBB’s Code of Business Practices, according to officials at BBB.
Founded in 2007, GoodTherapy.org, is dedicated to the mission of reducing harm in psychotherapy, advocating for healthy psychotherapy practices, and promoting therapists to work cooperatively and non-pathologically.
The Web site has made significant contribution to depathologizing diagnostic based language and therapy practices and educating consumers about the conflicts between healthy and unhealthy therapy practices.
Earlier this year, GoodTherapy.org announced that online scheduling software FullSlate enables prospective clients to schedule appointments directly on GoodTherapy.org. The new link to “make appointment” lets users see when a therapist has openings and instantly book a convenient time.
