History

ChoosingTherapy.com is an online publisher with over 3 million monthly readers. ChoosingTherapy.com covers topics related to mental health, emotional wellness, relationships, parenting, and the therapy industry. Its articles are written by licensed mental health professionals, consumer experts, and industry professionals. All consumer content is medically reviewed prior to publication.

In order to help our audience take the next step in their mental health journey with confidence, ChoosingTherapy.com independently reviews mental health companies based on our own real-world testing, thorough research, and careful analysis. We also maintain a directory of local therapists that’s free to both providers listing their services and clients seeking a mental health provider.

ChoosingTherapy.com was founded in late 2019 by Ian Atkins and Marc Prosser. In the spring of 2020, the company raised a seed round with participation from American Family Ventures and Portage Ventures. ChoosingTherapy.com remains focused on the mission of expanding access to quality mental healthcare, helping therapists launch and grow their private practice, and building tools to help people develop skills that lead to happier, healthier, more satisfying lives.

Marc Prosser has since founded Changing Choices, a coaching app for problem gambling.
