About Us
Therapytips.org is a mental health publishing and therapist booking platform created to make high-quality psychological insights and professional therapy accessible to anyone, anywhere. Our mission is to deliver clear, research-based, and clinically informed guidance on relationships, emotional well-being, behavior, and psychological health — and to connect people who are ready to take the next step with licensed therapists they can trust.
Founded by psychologist Mark Travers, Ph.D., and supported by Jourdan Travers, LCSW, Clinical Director at Awake Therapy, the site blends academic research, therapeutic best practices, and real-world psychological tools into articles, interviews, educational resources, and a growing directory of licensed therapists available for online sessions.

- Help people understand their emotions, behaviors, and relationships
- Provide educational resources rooted in science and clinical experience
- Connect people seeking support with licensed, vetted therapists
- Improve mental health literacy worldwide

Therapist Directory & Booking
In addition to our editorial content, Therapytips.org operates a therapist booking platform that connects clients with licensed mental health professionals for online sessions. Therapists listed in our directory are independent professionals who have registered through our My Office platform. Each therapist manages their own availability, session types, and pricing.
Therapytips.org is a booking and practice management platform — it is not a clinical service provider and does not employ or supervise therapists. If you are looking for a therapist, you can browse our directory here. For full details on how bookings work, please read our Client Terms.
