Therapy & Counseling testimonial challenges

Every therapy & counseling team we talk to runs into the same testimonial problems. Boast solves some, ignores others.

The stigma around seeking therapy means potential clients need extra reassurance before reaching out

Therapist directories like Psychology Today make it hard to differentiate based on credentials alone

Building trust before the first session is critical — clients are vulnerable and choosing carefully

Word-of-mouth is powerful but private — people don't openly discuss their therapist at dinner parties

How VideoTestimonials solves them

What you actually get in VideoTestimonials that Boast doesn't fully address for therapy & counseling.

Invite willing clients to share their experience of the therapeutic relationship (not session content) via video

Embed testimonials on your specialties page so visitors seeking anxiety help see anxiety-related stories

Build a Wall of Love that normalizes therapy and reduces stigma through authentic, voluntary sharing

Use testimonials on your profile pages across directories and your own website to stand out from the list
