Editorial Team
The team and the review standards behind every review on this site.
Who writes this site
Every review, guide, and comparison on Best AI Therapy is produced by the Best AI Therapy Editorial Team — independent reviews of AI therapy and mental-health software for consumers and therapists. The team is responsible for testing methodology, source verification, pricing accuracy, and publishing cadence.
What the editorial team is — and is not
Our editors are not clinicians. The editorial team does not hold licences to practise psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, or any form of clinical mental-health care, and does not give clinical advice.
We are recruiting a licensed mental-health professional to serve as our clinical reviewer. Until that role is filled, clinical claims are not certified by a named clinician — instead, every clinical statement is grounded in cited peer-reviewed research and primary sources, and the editorial team verifies each citation against its source. Once a clinical reviewer is in place, their credentials, licence jurisdiction, and review date will appear at the top of each clinically-reviewed page.
The editorial role is: product testing, pricing verification, feature-matrix construction, regulatory-context reporting (FDA, HIPAA, FTC actions), and sourcing discipline.
