Built for Therapy & Counseling

Best Trust alternative for Therapy & Counseling

Why Therapy & Counseling teams are choosing VideoTestimonials over Trust — feature parity, lower price, and workflows tuned for therapy & counseling.

Therapy & Counseling testimonial challenges

Every therapy & counseling team we talk to runs into the same testimonial problems. Trust 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 Trust 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

FAQs for Therapy & Counseling

Is it ethical for therapists to collect client testimonials?
Ethics guidelines vary by professional organization and state licensing board. Many allow voluntary, unsolicited client testimonials. Always consult your professional code of ethics and licensing board rules before implementing.
How do I protect client confidentiality in therapy testimonials?
Clients choose what to share and can remain anonymous. Focus prompts on the experience and outcomes rather than diagnosis or session content. Never pressure or incentivize participation.
Trustindex is much cheaper — why choose VideoTestimonials?
Trustindex is a review display tool — it aggregates and shows existing reviews from other platforms. VideoTestimonials is a testimonial collection tool — it helps you create new video and text testimonials, then display them. They solve different problems. Choose VideoTestimonials if you need to collect original testimonials.
Does Trustindex support more import sources?
Yes, Trustindex supports 133+ review platforms for import — significantly more than our 20. If your primary need is aggregating existing reviews from many platforms, Trustindex excels at this.
Can I use both tools together?
Yes. Some businesses use Trustindex for aggregating third-party reviews and VideoTestimonials for collecting original video testimonials. They serve complementary purposes.
