2019 was an important year for the Berlin-based therapy directory and platform It’s Complicated<\/a>. The directory went live and grew into a lively therapy community. Now it looks like 2020 will be a year of many more healing conversations, helpful features, and supportive content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exciting things happened in 2019? An all-woman spacewalk in NASA\u2019s history went down, the first-ever image of a black hole was released, a donated kidney was successfully delivered by a drone, and \u2013 would you believe it? \u2013 pigs were seen using tools for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a less grand scale something else pretty cool happened: A beautifully designed counselling directory that\u2019s easy to navigate was birthed in the therapy mekka of Berlin! Have you heard of It\u2019s Complicated<\/a>? That\u2019s what the directory is called and it\u2019s growing by the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Complicated has a cute birth story: It came to life when two developers<\/a> met with two counsellors<\/a> to have lunch. Their offices were located in the same building and they were passing each other daily on the staircase, so it was only natural, and quite convenient, to get to know each other. In fact, convenience has since come to be one of the guiding principles of It\u2019s Complicated. When life is so complicated, at least there should be a simple and easy-to-use tool to find a therapist who can offer you support, right?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Complicated came into existence in 2019 and has grown organically to encompass a large part of the expat therapist community in Berlin. Since Berlin is where the majority of counsellors listed on It\u2019s Complicated have their base, the vision for 2020 is to grow outside this global village. It needs to be easier all over the world to find the right therapist who fits with your specific situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, our dear therapy networking platform and directory It\u2019s Complicated won\u2019t just focus on making the search for therapy easier. The life of a therapist also needs to be simplified, because therapists who are on top of their game, are therapists who can do good therapy. That\u2019s why It\u2019s Complicated will continue to improve and add to the functionality of the therapist profiles. The calendar will be updated, invoicing will be integrated, and a referral program will be introduced to try to break the isolation of working as a private practitioner.
