Our Approach

Mental Health Pros’ Approach to Product Development

Our mental health, practice management, and psychotherapy tools reflect the combined expertise of our team of health-care experts. They hail from a diverse range of disciplines, including:

• Mental health: A team of full-time therapists and counselors in private practice, with extensive knowledge of the needs of mental health professionals and their clientele.
• Research: Information-gathering on mental health and health care, the understanding of behavior, and its relation to caring for one’s mental health.
• Health-care publishing: Twenty-eight years of learning how to effectively communicate healthy living and disease prevention in inspiring ways.
• Management and leadership consulting: An intimate understanding of the realities of day-to-day practice management and running a thriving business.
• Web-deployed interactive education: Harnessing the power of advanced technologies to create efficiencies and connect people with mental-health experts.

Our Products

Mental Health Pros understands and harnesses the power of highly innovative technologies — such as web portals, webinars, automated reminders, health trackers, webinars, streaming video, and online payment and scheduling. Tools are designed for ease of client use in learning about, contacting, and registering with therapists, completing assessments, discovering how to improve their health, and resolving negative thoughts, emotions, or behavior patterns.

Mental Health Pros also creates tools to help counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental-health professionals register clients confidentially, assign them homework, follow up with them, and track their progress. In addition, it provides mental health professionals with e-newsletters and other marketing tools to maintain contact with clients after their therapy or treatment has ended and to increase visibility, word-of-mouth, and referrals.

Our Standards

The information provided in the portal and the rest of Mental Health Pros’ suite of health tools goes through a strict process of verification by our Medical Advisory Board for scientific accuracy, consistency of style, objectivity, and balance. Mental Health Pros gives preference to double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in humans. When this standard of evidence is unavailable, Mental Health Pros occasionally refers to animal or test-tube studies.
