How It All Started
This platform was born out of the powerful stories shared by many on the /r/therapyabuse subreddit. Before bringing this platform to life, we engaged in thoughtful discussions about how we, as individuals who have gone through the meat mincer of psychotherapy, can share our stories and insights to warn and empower others. After struggling with leaving reviews to psychotherapists on social media, search engines and online reviewing platforms and reviews being removed, edited, exposed, we wanted to create a platform where psychotherapy clients can share their stories anonymously. The psychotherapy industry got out of control. The industry needs an independent third party (not a licensing board) that would be a watchdog for malpractice and abuse. We are going to become that watchdog.
Our Mission
To establish a secure and anonymous online environment where individuals can share their firsthand accounts of psychotherapy, highlighting instances of abuse, malpractice, and unethical conduct. We aim to empower users by providing a platform for their voices to be heard and acknowledged, fostering a community of support and awareness.
Our Vision
To create a world where the journey through psychotherapy is safe, respected, and transparent. We envision a community where individuals feel empowered to share their stories, find solace, and access support without the fear of backlash or exposure. Our goal is to drive positive change within the psychotherapy industry by setting new standards for ethical practice and client care.
