i didnt have to worry about whether to google my therapist or not. she did that for me right in front of me during one of my first sessions with her. she said she likes her clients to be able to know who they are dealing with and be informed about their treatment providers. if she was a medical doctor I would first google them to make sure they have the right qualifications, and no disciplinary action against them so why not mental health treatment providers too. she also said by her providing the information that takes the secrecy out of it, you know like telling someone not to do something whats the first thing they are going to do right. then she grabbed her computer and googled herself and showed me everything she could find about herself on the internet. she has twitter, facebook, instagram, myspace, psych central and other mental health, physical health accounts, 3 journal sites,and 4 email accounts. is licensed with the state, with no disciplinary actions, and is an active member of the community.no I cant read her stuff because she keeps her settings as friend only, private, invite only, ...I have no reason to google her because she did it for me. lol
