Terms of Use
The rules for using this website. The short version: it is a directory, it is not therapy, and it cannot be relied on in an emergency.
Last updated · Maker Therapy
The short version
- This site is a directory. Using it does not create any relationship between you and a therapist.
- Nothing here is medical advice, and it must not be used in a crisis.
- Listings come from BetterHelp's roster and can be out of date or wrong.
- We are paid a commission when somebody starts therapy through our links.

Agreement
These terms are between you and Maker Therapy, of 651 N Broad St, Suite 201, Middletown, Delaware 19709, United States. By using www.makertherapy.com you accept them. If you do not, please do not use the site.
You must be 18 or over to use this site.
This is a directory, not therapy
Maker Therapy publishes information about therapists. It does not provide therapy, counselling, diagnosis, treatment or medical advice of any kind, and it is not a healthcare provider.
Reading a profile here creates no therapist-client relationship, no duty of care and no confidentiality obligation between you and anyone listed. Those begin only if and when you engage a therapist through BetterHelp, under BetterHelp's own agreements.
We do not employ, contract with, supervise, endorse or vouch for any therapist listed on this site, and we have not met them.
Emergencies
This website cannot help in a crisis. If you are in immediate danger, or thinking about harming yourself, contact emergency services now - in the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. Do not wait for a reply from us; we are not a monitored service and may not read a message for days.
About the information on this site
Profiles are assembled automatically from the public roster BetterHelp publishes and from public licensing registers. We reproduce what those sources said at the time we read them.
- It can be out of date. The roster changes daily and a therapist may have left, changed their practice or updated their listing since our last read.
- It can be wrong at source. Where a source is mistaken, this site will repeat the mistake until somebody tells us.
- Whether somebody is accepting new clients reflects what the listing said when it was last read, not a live booking system. It is not a promise of availability.
- Licence details are shown so you can check them yourself against the relevant state board. Please do.
The plain-English explanations of clinical methods, the description of what happens before a first session, and the suggested questions are written by us. They are general information about the methods and the platform - never a statement about how a particular therapist practises, and never a recommendation of one.
Nothing on this site should be used to decide whether a therapist is suitable for you without speaking to them. It is a starting point, not an assessment.
How we are paid
Links from this site to BetterHelp are affiliate links. If you start therapy after following one, BetterHelp pays us a commission.
This does not change the price you pay, and it does not affect who is listed here or in what order results appear. We accept no payment from any therapist for placement, ranking or removal.
We disclose this on every page carrying such a link, because you are entitled to know it before you click rather than after.
Using the site
You may read, search and link to this site freely. You may not:
- Scrape, harvest or bulk-copy the listings, whether by automated means or by hand.
- Republish substantial parts of the site as your own, including in another directory.
- Use anything here to contact therapists in bulk, or for marketing of any kind.
- Attempt to interfere with the site, its infrastructure, or anyone else's use of it.
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose, or to harass, defame or endanger anybody.
We may restrict access if any of the above happens, without notice.
BetterHelp and other third parties
BetterHelp is an independent company. We are not part of it, we do not speak for it, and we have no control over its service, its pricing, its matching, or what happens after you leave this site.
Once you follow a link to BetterHelp you are on their website, subject to their terms and their privacy policy. Any agreement about therapy is between you, BetterHelp and your therapist. We are not a party to it and have no ability to intervene in it.
Intellectual property
The design, code, written explanations and arrangement of this site belong to Maker Therapy.
Therapist names, biographies, credentials and photographs belong to the people they describe or to the platform that published them, and appear here as factual reference. If you own such material and want it removed from this site, email us and it will be removed.
Having a listing removed
Every therapist page on this site carries a form that removes it. Choose a reason, give a name and an email address, submit it, and the page stops being published straight away. Nothing is reviewed first and nobody has to agree to it.
That form is for the therapist whose page it is. Using it about somebody else's listing, or submitting one you know to be false, is a misuse of the site under the section above.
One removal per internet address per day. The limit exists so that the form cannot be used to empty the directory; it is not a limit on any therapist's right to be removed. If you hit it, email us and we will do it by hand.
A removal is reversible. Email support@makertherapy.com from an address we can sensibly connect to the listing and we will restore it. Removal from this site does not affect a BetterHelp listing, which is not ours to change.
Disclaimers
The site is provided as it is and as it is available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.
We do not warrant that any therapist listed is suitable for you, currently licensed, currently practising, or accepting clients.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special loss arising from your use of this site, or from any decision made on the basis of information found here.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, and in those places the limits above apply only so far as they are permitted.
Changes
We may change the site, or these terms, at any time. When the terms change the date at the top changes with it, and continuing to use the site means you accept the revised version.
We may stop publishing the site, or any part of it, without notice.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Delaware have jurisdiction, except where the law of your home country gives you the right to bring proceedings there.
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
