MyTherapyNet. com Reaches 1000 Online Licensed Therapist
MyTherapyNet. com, the leader in online therapy, has signed therapist number 1000 to their growing library of licensed psychotherapist. This signing continues to make MyTherapyNet. com the leader and largest online licensed therapist provider.
Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) June 30, 2006
MyTherapyNet. com separates itself from other online therapy providers by signing licensed therapist number 1000. “This is a wonderful milestone for us, but to be able to reach more clients and offer the help they need, that is what we are here for”, states MyTherapyNet. com’s CEO Kathleene Derrig-Palumbo.
Though numbers vary, estimates are that in 2005, some 80 million people searched online for health information, nearly half of them looking for information specifically about mental health. On MyTherapyNet. com’s website, patients can browse bios of participating counselors ranging from marriage and family therapy to substance abuse and chemical dependency. Clients are able to make an appointment for a later time, or chat immediately with whoever is on-call at the time.
Therapist must submit to a thorough background check to be a part of the MyTherapyNet. com library. “We are not in a race to get to a certain number”, states MyTherapyNet. com’s COO Paul Andrews, “We want to make sure our therapist are licensed to be able to help our clients to the best of their ability. Reaching the 1000 mark before anyone else is just a bonus”. MyTherapyNet. com averages a licensed therapist sign-up each day.
