Therapist Screener

The Problem

When choosing a therapist, people often receive polished bios that make it hard to compare real credentials, training depth, and boundary clarity. therapist-screener focuses on this screening step and turns therapist introductions into comparable evaluation dimensions, rather than relying only on “warm style” or listed specialties.

How It Works

It accepts text bios or profile URLs, extracts the key information, and checks five dimensions: credentials, training, practice experience, ethics, and professional focus. Threshold items such as licenses/certifications, at least two years of systematic training, and confidentiality/ethics statements are labeled clear / unclear / questionable; reference items such as session volume, client population, and clarity of focus receive tiered conclusions. It also flags Red Flag signals like exaggerated claims, guaranteed outcomes, opaque pricing, or boundary blur. Chinese conversations produce the domestic report; English conversations produce the overseas report, covering State License, certification, and related contexts.

Boundaries

It supports decision-making only. It does not replace personal choice, diagnose mental illness, or provide psychotherapy. If only a link is provided, extraction may depend on page structure, so pasting the text is more reliable. Whether to begin therapy should still be decided by the user, with professional medical advice when needed.
