How do I edit my therapist profile?
Completing Your Profile — Provider Guide & FAQ
Welcome to the directory! This guide walks you through every part of your profile, in the order we recommend completing them. A finished profile takes about 20–30 minutes and makes an enormous difference in how often clients reach out.
Getting Started
How do I log in? After your license is verified and your profile is approved (7-10 days, or less), you’ll receive an email invitation to set your password. Once that’s done, log in anytime at triangletherapist.com/login (also linked in the site footer under “Therapist Login”). You’ll land in your dashboard, where everything below lives. You can edit your profile before it is approved.
Where do I edit my profile? From your dashboard, click Therapists in the left menu, then click your name “Edit” under your name or “Edit my Profile.” Everything on this page — your photo, bio, specialties, office, books, and more — is what clients see.
When do my changes go live? The moment you click Update. There’s no re-approval wait for profile edits — your page updates instantly.
To open your profile, click the little arrow in red below:
Now you should see your profile to fill in your details.
How do I add my photo? In the right-hand column, find Featured Image and click “Set featured image” to upload. Use a square photo (1:1) — at least 800×800 pixels — with your face clearly visible and good light. Warm and professional beats formal and stiff; clients choose faces they can imagine talking to.
Choose your photo thoughtfully — it’s a one-time decision. Your first photo goes live right away, and from then on your photo is managed by our editorial team: we review and lightly edit every directory photo (background, cropping, color) so the whole site feels cohesive and premium. Because each change involves hands-on editing by our team, photo changes can take up to 4 weeks and we offer up to 2 changes per year — which is exactly why we highly recommend picking one great photo and keeping it. To request a change, email connect@triangletherapist.com; please don’t attempt to replace the photo yourself, as that temporarily locks your profile for review — and during any photo review, your profile is locked and no changes can be made until the review completes.
What goes in the big text area? That’s your About section — the heart of your profile. Write 2–4 short paragraphs in first person, to the client, not about yourself in the third person. A structure that works: (1) who you help and what that struggle feels like, (2) what working with you is actually like, (3) your background in one or two lines, (4) an invitation to reach out. Skip the jargon — “I help couples stop having the same fight” lands better than “I utilize evidence-based interventions.”
What is the credential field? Your name displays exactly as entered in the Title, and your credential (e.g., “LMFT,” “LCMHCA,” “BCBA”) displays beside it. Enter the credential you hold — it must match your license, and it determines which section you appear in on the Supervision page if you offer supervision.
Your Specialties
How do I choose my specialties? Your Specialties are your headline — they display on your public profile and search cards right next to your name, the way you’d introduce yourself: “Trauma Therapist · EMDR Therapist · Couples Therapist.” Choose no more than three. Three specialties read as mastery; ten read as marketing. Pick the identities you’d put on a business card, and let the Areas of Focus below carry everything else you treat.
How do I choose my modalities? In the Modalities box, you’ll see approaches organized by family — Cognitive, Behavioral, Trauma, Couples & Family, Somatic, and so on. Check every approach you’re genuinely trained in. These power the “How I work” section of your profile and help the site’s matching tool route the right clients to you. If something you practice is missing, email us and we’ll add it.
What are Areas of Focus and Populations? Areas of focus are what clients come to you for (anxiety, couples conflict, ADHD, grief…). Populations are who you see (children, teens, adults, couples, families…). Check all that apply honestly — these are matching filters, and being matched with clients outside your wheelhouse serves no one.
What is Discipline? Your professional field — Mental Health Therapy, Psychology, Behavior Therapy (ABA), Marriage & Family Therapy, Clinical Social Work, and so on. Check the one that matches your license or certification. This is how the site’s “What kind of support are you looking for?” question finds you.
Location & Office
How do I set my location? The Location box has three quick fields: your State, your Major city (the metro area clients search from — this dropdown updates when you change the state), and optionally Your city or town if you practice somewhere smaller. Add the small town and you’ll appear on both city pages — your town’s and the metro’s.
How do I add my office details? Fill in your phone, office address, and website. Your profile automatically builds “The office” card from these: click-to-call phone, a Get Directions link, and an embedded map of your address. Telehealth-only? Leave the address blank and your profile shows a clean telehealth note instead.
How do I show whether I’m accepting clients? Set your Client status — Accepting new clients, Waitlist, or Not accepting. Keep this current; it’s the first thing many visitors check, and an accurate waitlist builds more trust than a stale “accepting.”
The Extras That Set You Apart
How do I recommend books? Scroll to the Books section and click Add book. For each one: paste any Amazon link to the book, write 1–3 sentences on why you love and recommend it, and choose its Topic from the dropdown. Your books appear on your profile, on the site-wide Bookshelf page under their topics, and the most-recommended books appear on the homepage — with your name linked beside them. Three to five books with genuine, personal notes is the sweet spot.
How do I list an event? In the My Events box on your profile (or under Events in the left menu), click to add a talk, workshop, group, or training. Set the date, time, place, audience (public or therapists-only), a short description, and your sign-up link. Registration and payment happen entirely through your link — we just showcase it. Your upcoming events appear on your profile and on the site’s Events calendar automatically.
How do I offer clinical supervision? Set Offering supervision to Yes, and you’ll be listed on our Clinical Supervision page under your credential — where associates actively looking for supervisors will find you. You can update anytime with a “no,” and you will be instantly removed from the offering supervision page.
How do articles work? You can write essays for the site’s Journal. Go to My Articles → Add New, write your piece, and click Submit for Review. Our editorial team reviews it, may lightly edit for clarity and reach, and publishes it under your byline with your author card and a “Meet me” button linking to your profile. The Your articles box on your profile shows everything you’ve written — uncheck any article there to remove it from your profile at any time (the article itself stays in the Journal, as covered in the Terms you accepted).
Housekeeping
What’s the license number field for? Your license number and state were verified when you joined. If your license status ever changes — renewal, upgrade from associate to full licensure, or any board action — update your profile and email us at connect@triangletherapist.com. Keeping this current is part of the member agreement.
Can I change my email or password? Yes — click your name in the top-right corner → Edit Profile for account settings, including password changes.
Something’s not working, or I want help with my profile? Email connect@triangletherapist.com — we’re happy to help polish a bio, fix a photo, or troubleshoot anything. Your profile is your storefront here; we want it excellent as much as you do.
The best profiles share three traits: a warm square photo, an About section written to the client, and a current client status. Start there — the rest compounds.
