Why I Write for Choosing Therapy
With the large amount of non-evidence-based medical information available online, and the rise of artificial intelligence with inaccuracies, I write for ChoosingTherapy.com because I wanted a way to provide accurate, evidence-based mental health information to a large audience. I appreciate that the articles on ChoosingTherapy.com are written by a licensed mental health provider, carefully edited, and medically reviewed.
“When it comes to physical and mental health and wellness, you are in control of your own destiny. Find a trusted medical professional who listens and addresses your whole person. Adopt lifestyle modifications as key adjuncts to pharmacotherapy (when it is needed) to promote optimal health and wellness.’”
