Best therapist directories for group practices and what each one costs
For a group practice the best directory setup is usually one listing that covers every clinician at a flat price, plus Psychology Today for reach in your city. Most directories charge per clinician, so ten clinicians at 29.95 USD a month each costs about 300 USD a month before you add anything else. A group plan such as NearbyTherapy Group Practice (99 USD a month billed yearly for up to 10 clinicians) removes that multiplier and routes each inquiry to the right clinician.
Group practice directory options side by side
Prices below come from each directory's public pages or independent reviews where the page was not readable, so treat anything marked reported as a figure to confirm before you pay. Several directories do not publish group pricing at all.
| Directory | What a group pays | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Psychology Today | 29.95 USD a month per clinician | Largest audience, each clinician needs their own profile |
| GoodTherapy | Individual rate reported near 30 USD a month, group membership on request | Vetting and ethics focus |
| Inclusive Therapists | 29 to 119 USD a month depending on the number of profiles | Strong for practices serving BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and disabled clients |
| Zencare | Separate group plan, pricing on request | Curated, setup fee reported for individuals |
| NearbyTherapy Group Practice | 99 USD a month yearly or 199 USD monthly, up to 10 clinicians | Practice page, inquiry routing, staff roles, one invoice |
| NearbyTherapy Clinic | 249 USD a month yearly or 499 USD monthly, up to 40 clinicians | Multiple locations, single sign on, CSV export |
What a directory really costs a group practice
Per clinician pricing is easy to ignore with one therapist and expensive with eight. At 29.95 USD a month, eight Psychology Today profiles come to about 240 USD a month, or 2,875 USD a year. Add a second per clinician directory and the total doubles.
The cost that matters is the cost per booked client. If a practice adds two new self pay clients a month at 150 USD a session, that is about 1,200 USD a month in sessions, and any listing in this table is a small share of it. The risk is paying for eight profiles that nobody maintains. Profiles with an outdated fee, a missing photo or no insurance list convert badly, and a practice owner cannot watch each of them.
What a group practice needs from a directory that a solo clinician does not
- One bill instead of one card per clinician.
- Inquiry routing, so a patient asking about EMDR and Aetna reaches the clinician who offers both.
- A practice page that shows the whole team, locations and accepted insurance.
- Staff access for an intake coordinator without billing rights.
- A clean exit when a clinician leaves, without hunting down a login.
Most consumer directories were built for individual clinicians and add group features later, if at all. Ask each one how an inquiry is assigned and who can see it before you commit.
How to choose by practice size
- Two to four clinicians, mostly one city: Psychology Today for each clinician who needs insurance reach, plus a group plan for routing and a practice page.
- Five to ten clinicians: a flat group plan first. Per clinician pricing grows linearly while a group plan does not.
- Eleven or more clinicians or several locations: a clinic plan with location pages and an invoice for accounts payable.
- A practice serving a specific community: add Inclusive Therapists for the clinicians it fits.
Shared calendars help here too. A shared booking page for intake calls lets a coordinator offer open consult slots from every clinician in one link.
What the NearbyTherapy group plans add
NearbyTherapy is built from the federal NPPES NPI registry, so a basic listing already exists for each of your clinicians. The practice owner invites them, each one claims and verifies their own profile, and the account is billed once.
- A practice page with locations, concerns, accepted insurance and links to every clinician.
- Inquiries routed by specialty and insurance, with a shared inbox and SMS alerts.
- Owner and staff roles, so an office manager can assign inquiries without seeing billing.
- Flat price with no setup fee, no per client fee and no share of session fees.
More detail is on the group practice directory listing page and the pricing page.
What is the best therapist directory for a group practice
The best setup is a flat group plan for routing and a practice page, plus Psychology Today for reach. NearbyTherapy Group Practice covers up to 10 clinicians for 99 USD a month billed yearly, against about 300 USD for ten Psychology Today profiles.
How much does it cost to list a group practice in a therapist directory
Most directories charge per clinician. Psychology Today is 29.95 USD a month per profile, Inclusive Therapists runs 29 to 119 USD a month by profile count, and some group plans are quoted on request. Flat group plans start at 99 USD a month billed yearly on NearbyTherapy.
Can one account list multiple therapists
Yes, on directories that offer group or practice accounts. Others require a separate profile and payment per clinician. Check how billing, access and inquiries work before you add your team.
How many directories should a group practice be on
Two or three is enough for most practices. Pick one broad directory, one group plan that routes inquiries, and one niche listing for a specialty you actually serve. Track where each new client came from for three months and cut the rest.
