PsiAN’s Original Research on Therapy and the Public
We undertook an ambitious research effort to understand what the U.S. public knows about therapy, how they think and feel about it, and what they most want out of it. Using state-of-the-art consumer insights tools, we have completed in-depth qualitative interviews and a large quantitative survey.
PsiAN's Guide to Choosing a Therapist
Connecting with a therapist can be an overwhelming and daunting process, whether you’ve done it before or not. Here’s our roadmap to help you find a therapist who values depth, insight, and relationship.
Medicare and Impacts on Therapy
Many rely on Medicare, but we increasingly see the government turning Medicare over to private insurance companies. Here's our paper outlining the privatization of Medicare - its historical roots and potential implications.
PsiAN’s Position on Mental Health Apps
PsiAN supports tools and technologies when they increase access to quality care of lasting benefit, but we are concerned with profit-driven apps, websites and platforms seeking revenue by discarding the therapeutic relationship, violating standards of professional practice ethics, and putting their commercial interests ahead of the best interests of patients.

Santiago Delboy and Linda Michaels hosted a special presentation for PsiAN members covering the large-scale original research study PsiAN conducted examining the general public’s attitudes, beliefs, and biases about therapy.
