About our crawler
Last updated September 30, 2026
If you found CouplesTherapyNearMeBot in your server logs, it’s us. It reads public pages of practice websites to keep our directory of couples therapists accurate.
What it does
- Visits a small number of public pages and doesn’t fill in forms, log in, or follow booking links.
- Makes at most one request every few seconds to the same site and revisits infrequently.
User agent
CouplesTherapyNearMeBot/1.0 (+https://couplestherapynearme.us/bot; [email protected])
Blocking it
The crawler follows robots.txt. To block it entirely, add:

If you’re a therapist and would rather not be listed, you can also ask us to remove your listing.
