Questions Professionals Ask About Our Listing Services

 

What is Theravive?

At its heart, Theravive is Values Based Counselling.  We are a resource directory of professional and clinical counsellors and psychologists who uphold a common set of strong moral values and principles in their practice.   Rich in content, our site has top search engine placement (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc) and draws potential clients from all over the world.  And because our site is personal, warm, and non-threatening, with themes of freedom, hope, forgiveness, and restoration, clients who are looking for a therapist to help them overcome various life struggles come to Theravive to easily find one.
 

Why should I sign up with Theravive?

• We draw potential clients across the internet through rich content contained on our site.
• Being listed on a quality website will greatly enhance your professional and business internet presence which can translate to an increase in clients.
• An attractive, yet highly professional listing of your practice prominently displayed on a popular site gives you a terrific web address that you can place on business cards and stationary promoting your practice to potential clients.
• Ability (if you choose) to be also listed as an “online provider” for e-counselling and potentially receive clients from all over the world.   Learn more about the possibilities of e-counselling at Theravive.
• The internet is rapidly becoming the single greatest mechanism people use to find a therapist.  The days of using a phone book to find a professional are winding down.  Being listed on a highly visible, and high quality site that is frequently returned at the top of Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines is an essential component of advertising your business in today’s world.   
• Approachable, non-threatening friendly site reaches many clients fearful of counseling, who otherwise would not call a counselor off an impersonal, sterilized, plain list of names as on most other directories.
• In addition to your listing, you receive a dedicated page to your practice on which you can have an unlimited length bio, along with a link to your own website. With no limit to your professional biography, you have ample room to promote your practice, discuss your therapy, approaches...anything you want to say to a potential client.

 

But I Already Have A Website for My Business, Why Would I Need This?

Just because you have a website, doesn’t necessarily mean you are visible to clients.  There are billions of websites on the internet.  How can a client possibly find you?  Put yourself in the shoes of a potential client, then go to Google.  How can they find you?  Test it out for yourself and see.   Unless your website is search engine optimized, it will be of little help to your business.  And if you are not sure what “search engine optimization” means, then unfortunately your website probably isn’t.   Basically SEO means being at the top of the Google, MSN, or Yahoo search results.  Theravive has the benefit of professional SEO (search engine optimization) consulting, a professional IT administrator, and web developer.  This means that the Theravive website is constantly being optimized for major search engines.  We do all the work on the internet to bring you high visibility.  You only need to focus on your clients.   

 

Proof Of Theravive's Prominence

We receive, on average, over 350 unique visitors a day in British Columbia alone. Say you are looking for a counsellor in New Westminster, a city in western Canada. You type into Google "counselling New Westminster BC" and this is what you see. Notice that we are ranked so well for this city, that Theravive returns even before Google's Local Business listings. A client goes to Google and types "burnaby counsellor " and this is what they see. If you were a counselor in one of those cities, there would be great benefit in being listed on Theravive, as a client would see you on page one, before most anyone else. Or consider someone who lives in Langley, with a population over 100,000, that person goes to google and types "counselling langley ". This is what they see. Again, Theravive listed up near the top. If you were a counsellor who practiced in Langley, BC, you would be the first page a potential client would see using that Google search. That is what SEO is all about, and that is what we work hard to do for you.  Our goal is to be prominently listed on major search engines for every city we support. As theravive continues to grow, so will our prominence on the web. Being listed on a highly visible site can have an immense impact on your field of potential clients. Learn more about how we optimize for the internet. It is important to note that most people who search for a counsellor on the internet, will type in their local city in the search! Very few people would go to Google and type "counsellor" or "marriage counseling". You want to be listed on a directory that is optimized for your city. If you are on a directory that doesn't come up in Google with your city typed in the search term, its time to change.

 

I am Already Listed in an Internet Counselor Directory.  Should I Still Sign Up?

If you uphold the same values we do, most definitely yes!  One visit to Theravive.com and you will quickly see how unique we are.  Quite unlike any other counselor directory, we are very focused and because of this, we draw in numerous potential clients who greatly prefer committing themselves to a counselor who shares their values over one found randomly out of a phone book or an internet list. If you also notice, our site is very warm and non-threatening. Clients can see photos of their counselors taken outdoors, hinting at the freedom that awaits them. Colors, pathways, and themes on the site bring subtle suggestions of hope, moving forward, discovery, forgiveness, acceptance, and restoration. Many other directories simply present themselves as a list of names on a plain background, having a very "clinical" feel, like a patient sitting within four white walls of a sterilized doctor's office. The personal and caring feel of Theravive, along with our commitment to values, is a significant reason why potential clients choose a counselor with us.

 

What is “Values Based Counseling”?

There is no such thing as “Value-Free Counseling”.  No matter who the counselor or psychologist, his or her values will be reflected in their practice.  And in the professional world of counseling, the range of moral values among all counselors and psychologists is a vast spectrum.  There is no universal agreement.  Theravive extracts from this spectrum those professionals who uphold a common set of values and principles to provide them as a convenient and life-changing resource for clients who seek the same.   When it comes to clients, as counsellors we accept anyone and hope that all counsellors on Theravive would never discriminate on the basis of the values of the client. A client may have any set of values, and we would accept them as clients. Our values guide our practice, and we let our clients know what our values are, allowing for better and more effective therapy. Learn more on our values here, and their importance in counseling.

 

Is There a Difference Between Values-Based Counselling and Regular Counseling?

If you are a counselor who upholds the same values as we do, there is no difference at all.  You already are doing values-based counseling.   Theravive is not about changing how counselors practice.  Your methods and theories of practice are yours.  Our goal is to simply find counselors who share the same values and connect them with clients.  We draw potential clients from the internet, and connect them to counselors listed with us.  That is our purpose.   

Why Values Based Counseling?

The short answer is that there are people everywhere who need help in their lives and are looking for a counselor who can connect with their moral values.  For example, one of Theravive’s values is the importance of the marriage relationship.  A client on the brink of divorce, who strongly believes that marriage should last a lifetime, would not be happy to learn that he put his entire future in the hands of a counselor who views marriage as merely a “contract” with divorce as an exercisable option.  We believe most people would prefer a counselor who shares their values over one that does not. The Values Statement of Theravive is nothing more than a simple set of beliefs.  Yet even so, they are not our beliefs at all, they are, rather, foundational, common values, shared by millions of people throughout our country.  The values listed on Theravive do not represent a fraction of people.  They represent the majority. 

 

How much does it cost to be listed?

Advertising on Theravive is very affordable.  Our basic listing is $9.95 a month,.  This is significantly less than the other internet counselor directories, and significantly less expensive than most other advertising, (i.e the Yellow Pages).  On top of this, we also offer several additional discounts.  For counselors who already have websites, if you are willing to link to Theravive we will apply a permanent discount anywhere from 4% to 100%.  This means you could potentially be listed with us for free.  In addition, counselors who submit original article(s) that get posted on our site further receive discounts. 

For those counselors who want extra exposure, we also offer a Premium Listing Package for only 14.95 per month- a very affordable and attractive offer.

 

What is included in the Basic Listing Package?

• All counselors on Theravive receive a professional and attractive listing advertising their business and practice.

A Note About the Spelling On Our Site:

Some may have noticed the words "counselor, counsellor, counseling, counselling" on our site. These are not spelling errors. Theravive reaches both Canada and the United States. In Canada, two "l's" are used to spell counsellor and counselling. In the United States, they are properly spelled with one. We have taken the liberty to freely intermingle these spelling variations so that clients in both countries will easily find us when they search for help on major search engines.

 

 

It is our pleasure to have you become a part of our team. We will work hard to do all we can to promote your practice on the internet.

 

If you have any questions, please e-mail listing@theravive.com or call us at 604-626-1329 (Canada), or 360-350-8627 (United States)
