As of July 2026, Pro-Choice Therapists is conducting a regular review of our Directory application and review process to ensure that our training materials and procedures are up-to-date. Please note that the below information may change.

​

Mental health clinicians listed on the Pro-Choice Therapists Directory undergo a rigorous screening process to ensure they align with pro-choice values.

​

1. Introductory Training: All prospective Directory members start by taking Pro-Choice Therapists’ in-depth training—an overview of abortions and how patients may experience them, the state of abortion restrictions/legislation, common misconceptions about abortion, how to identify a crisis pregnancy center, trusted research on abortion and mental health, common causes of distress around abortion (e.g., stigma, shame), legal protections for mental health clinicians sharing information about abortion with clients, up-to-date resources, and more.

2. Comprehension Quiz: After completing the training, all prospective Directory members take a comprehension quiz to confirm their knowledge of the information presented during the introductory training. Prospective members are required to pass the test with a score of 85% of better to move forward in the application process.

3. Member Application: If the training and quiz are successfully completed, prospective members submit an application for membership. In addition to collecting information that would be displayed in the directory, the member application asks open-ended questions that allow Pro-Choice Therapists’ leadership to confirm the applicant’s alignment with pro-choice values. This membership application also requires applicants to agree to the Pro-Choice Therapists’ Member Agreements and submit proof of licensure.

4. Final Review & Directory Listing: Finally, Pro-Choice Therapists leadership carefully reviews every membership application and follows up as needed to clarify or confirm details. Once the application is approved, the mental health clinician is included in the Pro-Choice Therapists Directory.
