Put yourself in the shoes of someone seeking help from a Christian mental health professional. You are at your computer and, like anyone who has access to the Internet, you understand how to use search engines. What kind of ‘search string’ should you use? “Christian therapist?” “Christian counselor?” “Christian counseling?” Probably one of those. They seem to be the most intuitive and logical. So you go to your favorite search engine, Google, MSN’s new Bing, or maybe Yahoo (or Alta Vista, or Ask.com, or Webcrawler, or Lycos, or Metacrawler, or you name it!) and you type in one of those search strings.

On the first page of the Search Engine, at, or very near the top of the unsponsored entries, the Christian Counselors Directory is returned. Often, a thumbnail of the website’s front page is displayed.

Having trouble believing that? Then go ahead, try it for yourself.

Tum tee tum tum . . . I’ll hum while you work and I wait. My grandson once told me he was taking humming lessons.

Done?

Well then, there you have it. Hard, concrete, unbiased (We did not pay for this. We earned it by hard work. We earned it because we know what we are doing.) Solid evidence that the Christian Counselors Directory is the most popular, visible and widely known directory of Christian mental health professionals on the Internet. That is not a vacuous Madison Avenue claim. It is bedrock fact. You have seen it for yourself. Only one organization can be at the top of the list -- and more often than not, it is CCD!

So how does this translate into benefit for you? There are several websites out there who do what we do – none as well, and certainly none better, and none with a database the size of CCD. Perhaps that is one of the reasons we rank first, even ahead of Focus on the Family and the American Association of Christian Counselors. You could advertise with any of these and perhaps you should. Couldn’t hurt. But you will not get the exposure from any of these other websites that you get from CCD.

For the highest exposure of your practice, there is none who do it as well as the Christian Counselors Directory..

We are local. When a potential client goes to CCD, s/he is presented with the state, and then the local community, be it city, town or borough. And unlike other websites, we pretty much cover the map. Like a certain telephone advertiser we all know. The people in your community who need help will come to you first, before they call someone from out of town. Proximity to professional help ranks extremely high in the selection process.

The Christian Counselors Directory has been around since 1995, when the Internet was just getting started. (It is still just getting started!) We were the first house on the block!

We have varied packages to meet your needs and your budget. $39.95 per year, $69.95, or $99.95 per year. That’s per year. Not per month. Didn’t want you to miss that. For the vast majority of professionals, that is less than the cost for the first hour of therapy. And once you list with us, your yearly payment is fixed. Indeed, the prices for new subscribers will rise as the demand rises, but as long as your listing remains in good standing, your price per year will never increase.

To review these realities, the very best (top of the search engine list) exposure, the local emphasis, the stability, reliability and Internet presence, and for amenability to your budget, there is no other entity on the Internet that can do what we are doing. Advertising with the Christian Counselors Directory just plain makes logical and fiscal sense.

Try listing your services with CCD for one year.

Do you have your own website? If not, these days you should. The Christian Counselors Directory provides full and complete website service for Christian mental health professionals only. We provide your domain, your website design (including flash media, graphics and streaming audio), website hosting services, and perhaps most important, complete, daily, weekly and monthly maintenance. We submit your website to the search engines on a monthly basis, so the webcrawlers will never miss you. We optimize your website, so the webcrawlers have to notice you. You never have to worry about a thing. You participate in the design process only insofar as you have the time, interest and energy to do so. All for only $39.95 per month. Interested in a website of your own? Point your browser HERE.
