SimplePractice gives you the option to request license verification for your profile on the Therapy Finder Directory.

Adding a license verification badge to your Therapy Finder profile isn’t the same as becoming legally licensed and is completely optional. You aren’t required to complete the license verification process before listing on our directory.

In this guide, we’ll cover:

• Submitting a license verification request
• License types that are supported for verification

Note: To learn more about Therapy Finder, see Getting started with Therapy Finder.

Submitting a license verification request

Important: License verification for Therapy Finder is currently paused, so the option to verify your license may not appear in your account. We’re not processing new or pending requests at this time.

You can submit a request to have your license verified for your Therapy Finder profile from your SimplePractice account. To do this:

• Navigate to Marketing > Directory
• Select Verify license

• You'll see your licenses listed with an option to Verify License
  • If you need to update to your license details, click Manage licenses
    
• Select Verify License next to the license you’re submitting for verification

• Enter your personal information
  • Providing your date of birth can help speed up the verification process
• Select Next

• Confirm your personal and license information
• Select Submit request
  • To make changes, click Back

Until your license is verified, your request will show as Pending verification.

If you have multiple license types, you can only submit one verification request at a time. You'll be able to submit additional license verification requests once the pending request is approved or denied.

If successfully verified, a Verified badge will appear next to the license type within your account, as well as on your Therapy Finder profile.

Note: There’s no way to edit your license information after you’ve submitted it for verification. If you need to update your license information, you can navigate to Settings > Profile > Clinical info, delete the existing entry, and add a new license. If needed, you can then resubmit your license verification request from Marketing > Directory > Verify license.

License types that are supported for verification

Therapy Finder supports behavioral health therapists, including social workers, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and substance use disorder counselors. However, only certain license types can be verified at this time.
