Karnacology helps you choose online-therapy and mental-health services: side-by-side comparisons, free decision tools, and plain-English guides based on each provider's own published pricing, features, and policies - we cite what we can verify and flag what's unconfirmed. We also keep a library of restored essays on therapy and psychoanalysis. We do not run clinical evaluations, and nothing here is medical advice.
