Theravive.com Sees Increased Client And Therapist Growth In November



Theravive.com reports increased client and therapist usage throughout all of November 2008. Despite the poor conditions of the economy, counselling through the site is at an all time high. Several cities are already full. For example, Counselling Vancouver (http://www.theravive.com/cities/bc/counselling-vancouver.aspx), the title of the page responsible for counselor listings in Vancouver, BC, is full to new sign ups as of November 21, 2008.

The mission of Theravive is to promote strong values in counseling. This emphasis on values has created a tremendous interest across the Internet in North America and is a primary reason so many clients choose a therapist or psychologist from Theravive instead of a more morally neutral counselor directory. By providing a safe environment, where values are disclosed up front, clients feel more connected to the counselor and many feel more comfortable with beginning counselling.

Theravive is the only therapist directory they know of that imposes strict limits on the number of therapists and psychologists who can sign up for membership per city. This is done to maximize client disbursement to therapists already listed. Having too many therapists (a policy of unlimited local signups) causes over saturation and lessens the total amount of client contacts available to each therapist. Despite some cities closing down, there are still great opportunities. Counselling Toronto (http://www.theravive.com/cities/on/counselling-toronto.aspx) (the name of the Toronto, ON page), and Counseling New York City (http://www.theravive.com/cities/ny/counseling-new-york-city.aspx) (the name of the New York, NY page) for example, are still open.

Forward outlook for 2009 is continued growth expected as Theravive expands further into Canada and the United States. Typical slowdowns will occur over the summer months as less people engage in counselling during this time period.

In addition to providing a directory of counselors and psychologists, the site also hosts numerous articles for life and living, as well as a blog available for all members to contribute to. And at the heart of Theravive'ss success is its ability to optimize each city listing so that it is easily found on the web. Counselors are able to have unlimited length biographies and edit their profiles as often as they choose.

Spelling: This release freely interchanges the use of counseling counselor counselling and counsellor. In the United States, one l is the correct spelling, and in Canada, two l'ss are correct. Because we reach both the US and Canada, we freely interchange both spellings so that we are easily found by people in both countries.

Theravive is constantly expanding. Counseling Seattle (http://www.theravive.com/cities/wa/counseling-seattle.aspx), a new city page added over the summer, is already seeing increased traffic and web placement. Many more are soon to be added. Theravive is an emerging leader in connecting individuals and families to licensed and professional therapists, counselors, and psychologists who uphold values counseling in their practice.
