Are all therapy directories equal? How do you find help you can trust?
No, not all directories are equal... and some are just not to be trusted! To avoid any legal issues, I'm not going to name names of the worst culprits in my eyes, but following these suggestions next time you're looking for a qualified counselor or therapist should keep you in the clear. If you have insurance, begin with your insurance carrier's website or telephone number printed on your insurance card. Generally speaking insurance companies send practitioners through a comprehensive application process. A practitioner will have to show they have a valid license/certification, liability insurance, and that they do not have any outstanding complaints with their state board. Insurance credentialing will even go so far as to ask about the office and its location: distance to public transportation, handicapped accessibility, and security precautions. Some insurance companies give their subscribers an opportunity to anonymously rate the practitioner during or after their care. However, insurance won't be able to follow up on what they don't know, such as complaints that were not filed, what the practitioner's personality is like, or whether or not the therapist is efficient in dealing with a client's problems. Check with your state's licensing/credentialing office for behavioral health providers. There may be more than one board to look to as there are possibly several licenses that can provide psychotherapy or counseling in your state. The typical behavioral health license classifications include: Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Psychologist (PsyD or PhD) and Psychiatrist (MD or DO). State boards will have directory information on their sites that will include when the provider was licensed, what the expiration date is on their license, pending or closed claims or complaints, and any restrictions on their license to practice. The internet is full of therapist listing and directory services that may or may not do anything to confirm a provider's license or qualifications. Many are free for the provider to list and the potential client to use. Many sites charge a fee to the provider to be listed or to enhance their listing. Some of the best known sites are sites like GoodTherapy.com, Wellness.com, PsychologyToday.com, Theravive.com, TherapyTribe.com, etc. Each site will have different processes to go through to become listed. Some may ask for background information or engage in nothing more than a cursory review to qualify the listing and post it after the therapist has paid for the listing. A few directories will go so far as to ask for evidence of a license or liability insurance. Some will say they are a "therapist directory" and include unlicensed and unqualified persons holding themselves out to be equivalent to a licensed professional (like "life coaches" or "spiritualists" and "astrologers." It takes a keen eye sometimes to cull the wheat from the chaff. Some unscrupulous directory sites actually list a provider or practice on their pages without the provider's knowledge and allow the provider to "claim your listing" after the fact when s/he becomes aware of the listing. Obviously in that instance, the provider has no control over the content of their listing and the potential client cannot know for certain if the information is indeed accurate or complete. Many of these sites include a "Rate the doctor" function that allows for people to answer a multiple choice rating or even list comments. These sites may seem great for the consumer because the ratings are unsolicited and anonymous; however, they are unsolicited and anonymous, meaning they may not be all that reliable. An unscrupulous provider could post positive comments or ask friends and family to do so, or may have an option through the site to eliminate negative comments. Or a disgruntled or misinformed client could post negative comments when they are not justified. If you run across one of these sites, check to see how hard it is to post a comment. If you don't at the very least need to verify your email address as an identifying criterion before posting a review, the site may not be all that useful to you. There are some sites that actually offer counseling online with counselors who are standing by. These sites can be dicey because the site owners/operators don't always check credentials well or limit the counselor to working with people only in their state or even country! If you connect with a counselor outside of your state or country, you may not have a means of recourse should you be harmed through the course of your therapy. States have not yet caught up with technology in regulating and controling online or distance therapy. As a Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC) myself, I only work with clients who reside and are located in my state of licensure. Like any service that exists out there, the warning "Caveat emptor" (Let the buyer beware) still holds true, but with these suggestions, you should have a better idea how to take a critical view of the information available on the web. ...read more

Are Your Supplements Good For You?
Have you ever gone into the grocery store, health food store, or drug store looking for vitamins or supplements and noticed that there are rows and rows of supplements? Most patients that answer this question tell me that when they get to the supplement isle they feel overwhelmed, confused, and/or frustrated. So what do they do? They either pick one from the shelf that catches their eye with fancy labeling or with a good tag line or they walk away with nothing. What is the best choice in this circumstance? The best option is probably to walk away and do some research but you could get lucky and get a good supplement. Are you content with simply hoping that your vitamin, mineral, and/or supplements are good and working or would you rather know exactly what your body needs and is able to use? Of course most patients say that they would like to know that what they're buying is not a waste of money but is doing exactly what they need when they need it. The problem they face is that they don't know how to know exactly what they need and what product will work for them. So how do you know exactly what your body needs and what supplements your body can absorb and use? The best way to find out is by visiting a Nutritional Response Testing Practitioner who can test your body for common stressors such as bacteria, viruses, fungus, parasites, heavy chemicals, heavy metals, food allergens, and more. After these stressors are located and treated with whole food replacement parts and/or supplements the entire body is evaluated for weakness and is then given a specific nutritional protocol individually created for YOU using muscle testing. If you do not have a nutrition response testing practitioner in your area there may be a similar technique available in your area that can test specific supplements for you. If you are not interested in visiting a practitioner to find your individual needs and create a personalized plan but would like to know the best vitamins and/or supplements I can tell you that the most important thing to look for is a whole food base, which means that none of the products in the bottle are made from synthetic materials. Synthetic vitamins, minerals and supplements are not nutrition and can never fully absorb or be used by your body. A synthetic product can contain %1000 of the daily dose and you could get %0 into your system for use. A whole food vitamin, mineral, and supplement is readily absorbably because it is nutrition and what your body recognizes as food. If you would like to use a pharmaceutical grade, whole food product and have it customized for you, you can call our office and participate in a symptom survey that will allow us to customize your nutritional protocol including the products needed that can be sent directly to your home at an affordable rate that does not include an office visit. This guarantees that you will not be wasting your money on worthless supplements and vitamins but doesn't require costly doctors visits. Our goal is to help you create wellness in your life! A pharmaceutical grade product on the market is Standard Process. These products are whole food based and potent enough to only be sold through health practitioners. If you create an individualized nutritional plan with Dr. Ashley Waggoner, D.C. the products used will include Standard Process products. The results we've seen when we use the specific nutrition needed have been documentable. If you have any questions or would like to start your nutritional plan today call Ashley Chiropractic at Integrated Family Health 480-259-0064. If you reach the voice mail leave your name and number and let us know if you would like to schedule an appointment for nutrition response testing or if you would like to have a phone appointment in order to create a custom nutritional plan. We will return your call in a timely manner. Remember to be extraordinary in everything you do! ...read more
