WHY THE EVIDENCE HOLDS
A crafted shortlist.
Not a star average.
Bests first finds a credible field—typically 10 to 15 plausible candidates—then narrows it through identity, location and category fit before the deeper comparison.
- 01Discover the real field
A broad local field is assembled from category-appropriate official, regulatory, marketplace, editorial and consumer sources before a smaller shortlist is audited.
- 02Read the comments, not just the score
Comments are read across platforms and rating bands for repeated, specific themes. Duplicated language, solicitation patterns, thin listicles and identity confusion are discounted.
- 03Apply the category recipe
The final comparison applies a category-specific evidence recipe to the exact entity and location. No single review average, award or owned claim decides the order.
BESTS REVIEW SIGNAL
Repeated themes.
Contradictions checked.
Review evidence is read in context across time, rating bands and platforms. Reddit and community discussion can reveal useful texture, but are treated as context—not votes. Potential spam, copied SEO content and identity confusion are discounted privately.
For Dr. Michael Sheppard, R.Psych., the published fit is supported by repeated evidence around:
- Verify the named psychologist's current registration, authorized areas and populations, exact location or virtual-service jurisdiction, fees, cancellation terms and insurance requirements before booking
- Use an introductory conversation to discuss goals, therapeutic fit, approach, confidentiality and its limits, records, communication, progress review, referral and ending; no single modality or credential is universally best
- These private practices are not crisis services. In immediate danger call 911; for suicide crisis support in Canada call or text 988
Bests does not republish selective testimonials or invent a combined rating. Licensed third-party review widgets can be added after a winner claims and verifies its profile.
