About Karnacology
Essays and plain-English guides on therapy, psychoanalysis, and mental health
Karnacology is an archive and guide site about therapy, psychoanalysis, and mental health. The essays here were originally published on the Karnacology blog and have been restored for this archive. Alongside the archive, we publish plain-English guides to modern online-therapy services.
How we research
For service guides we rely on providers' own published pricing, features, and policies, and on reputable public reporting. We cite what we can verify and flag what is unconfirmed. We do not run clinical evaluations of therapy services, and nothing on this site is professional advice.
Who writes here
Karnacology Editorial Team
The Karnacology editorial team maintains this archive of essays on psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and mental health, and researches the online-therapy services featured in our guides using providers' own published information. We are not clinicians and we do not provide medical or therapeutic advice.
