Therapist Search Report

Most domains eased back a little in therapist search results. Dr. Leonardo was the one site still climbing. This edition of the report was published on May 18th, 2026

A Straightforward Week for Therapist Searches

May 18th, 2026 Edition


A soft week -- most of the top domains slipped a little, none of them dramatically. There's no single story here, just a gentle pullback across the board.

The exception is Dr. Leonardo, which kept rising while everything around it eased off. It's still the biggest gainer over the past month. The newer name Find a Therapist went the other way and gave back some of its recent gains.

This is a back-published edition, written during our catch-up after a pause earlier this spring; AI is helping us work through the backlog. The weekly personal search report ran throughout.

That's it for this week -- no headline, just a soft week with Dr. Leonardo the lone climber.

Thanks for understanding as we work through the last of the missed editions.

Note: These statistics are intended to highlight broad patterns we've observed when searching for therapists by name. While we use a consistent methodology and a reasonable sample size, the results are not exhaustive. They may not reflect every search variation, every geographic region, or every change in search engine algorithms. This information should be viewed as a general snapshot, not a definitive or complete record. (And if you have ideas on how we can make our analysis even better, we'd love to hear them!)

Quill Therapy Solutions

About Quill: Quill helps therapists write clear, accurate, and professional therapy progress notes in less time. You record (or write) a brief session summary, and Quill formats those important details into a well-written note -- so you can focus on your clients, not your paperwork. And importantly, Quill does not record therapy sessions, so you don't have to sacrifice your ethics or your clients' privacy.

Also, therapists can now create their own custom documentation templates -- so whether it's an intake assessment, custom progress note format, or literally any other type of documentation, Quill has you covered.
