Does the opening sound like the client?
See whether the first lines name a real experience or start with credentials and generic promises.
Free Psychology Today profile audit
See whether your profile sounds like you and speaks to the right client.
Start with one listing. Paste each profile field below to see live character counts against the real editor limits, what is over, and what is still empty. The free audit then shows where the copy feels broad, generic, or hard to act on. If your question reaches beyond Psychology Today, the full Practice Checkup can help you look at other parts of your public presence. You can also start with a conversation.
Under a minute. No account required.

Free profile checker
Check every field against the real character limits.
The Psychology Today editor caps each field at a different length: 640 characters for the first Personal Statement box, 360 each for the second and third, 140 for the intro, 300 for the finance and credentials notes, and 400 for the specialty and therapy-type notes. Paste your text below to see the live count for each field, what is over the limit, and what is still sitting empty.

Specificity checks
Three things the strongest statements do
Paste text into the Personal Statement boxes above and the checks run here automatically.
These are pattern checks on the text you pasted, run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type here is sent anywhere or stored. A pass is a starting point, not proof of what affects referrals.
Free Practice Checkup
See what your practice could improve.
The free Practice Checkup reviews the public evidence it can verify and labels unresolved checks. Jesse validates the findings and recommends useful work. You get the scope, fixed price and job-specific commitment in writing before deciding. The Checkup is free and a call is optional.
Run the free checkupWhat it checks
A focused read, not a promise that Psychology Today is the whole problem.
Is the fit specific enough?
Check whether the profile makes the right person feel recognized without turning the copy into a list of diagnoses.
What should change first?
Leave with one focused place to improve instead of rewriting every field without knowing which part matters.
One profile or the full picture?
Start with the check that matches your question.
Use the focused audit when you want to inspect your Psychology Today copy right now. Use the Practice Checkup when you are unsure whether Psychology Today, Google, website copy, directories, or the path to reaching out is the first constraint.
- You can start with a Checkup or a conversation. Before recommending paid work, Jesse checks the relevant findings and confirms what your practice needs.
- Both free paths remain useful even if you never pay for anything.
Questions before you start.
Is the profile audit really free?
Yes. You can run the focused audit without paying or creating an account.
Does the audit rewrite my entire profile?
No. It helps you see the clearest profile-specific issue. If you want help implementing a rewrite, we can scope profile work on its own or within a broader project. You receive the exact work and fixed price in writing before deciding.
Why would I run the full Practice Checkup too?
A Psychology Today profile can look like the problem while Google, website copy, directories, or the path to reaching out needs attention. The free Checkup helps compare the public evidence it can access. It is optional; Jesse checks the relevant findings before recommending paid work.
Will a stronger profile guarantee more inquiries?
No. This free audit offers no ranking, inquiry or client-volume guarantee. It helps you identify profile clarity and fit issues. Any paid commitment is stated separately in the written scope before purchase.
