A follow-up on Psynio, the standout riser for a few editions running: this week, it dropped out of the top 30 entirely.
That fits the rest of the picture. As of this writing the Psynio site returns a server error, and now the data shows its search presence falling off too. We still can't say exactly what happened -- but a site that climbs fast and then disappears around the same time it stops loading sure looks like something went wrong on their end.
The other newcomer, Dr. Leonardo, is still here -- holding its top-30 spot and up a little over the month. So it stuck around where Psynio didn't. It presents itself as a website-builder platform for healthcare professionals; we haven't verified how the therapist pages on it got there, so we're not assuming one way or the other.
Beyond those two, a quiet week -- small moves all around.
This is a back-published edition, written during our catch-up after a pause this spring. The searches ran the whole time, so the data's intact -- and AI is helping with the writing.

LinkedIn and Psychology Today sit on top as usual. The bigger picture underneath is the social platforms: Facebook and Instagram have now more than reversed their earlier slide, and over the past month they're the two biggest gainers in therapist search results.

The week's moves are small, so nothing jumps out as a sudden riser. Over the month, Facebook and Instagram lead the gainers, with Dr. Leonardo still among them. The name missing from this list is Psynio, which fell out of the rankings.

No change up top. Psychology Today holds a bit over four in ten of the #1 spot for therapist searches, with LinkedIn covering much of the middle of the first page.
That's it for this week -- the notable move being Psynio dropping out of the top 30 entirely, after weeks of climbing. Here fast, gone fast.
