Our Perspective on Psychology Today for LGBTQ+ Patients

Psychology Today's therapist directory does have an 'LGBTQ+' filter, which is better than most general platforms. However, that filter is self-reported with no independent verification. Any therapist can check the LGBTQ box. For mental health specifically - where trust is everything - our verified approach matters.

What Psychology Today Does Well

  • ✓LGBTQ filter available
  • ✓Large therapist network
  • ✓Insurance filtering
  • ✓Telehealth options
  • ✓Sliding scale filter

Where Psychology Today Falls Short for LGBTQ+ Patients

  • ✗LGBTQ filter is self-reported, not verified
  • ✗Mixed reviews on trans-inclusive care
  • ✗Primarily covers therapy, not full healthcare spectrum

Why PrideMD is Different

PrideMD was built specifically for LGBTQ+ patients who are tired of guessing whether their doctor will be welcoming.

We don't just list providers. We verify their LGBTQ+ affirmation so you can walk into your first appointment with confidence, not anxiety.

Independent directory, not medical advice. PrideMD is an independent directory. It is not medical advice and is not affiliated with any provider network or government agency.
