What is psyris?
The psychology resource information system was designed to serve the public and to serve the professional psychology community, along with those in the allied behavioral health professions.
Psyris includes links to relevant information, and most importantly, a custom search engine that serves as a referral directory, connecting the public with providers. In general, individuals might have more luck finding a therapist by searching the entire web, but the custom search engine narrows the results down to actual practitioners. A general web search will return a substantial number of irrelevant results.
For professionals, psyris provides a database system that allows for the creation of a personal webpage, a psyris page. Creating a psyris page is straightforward and requires no programming skill. The system is form driven and based on a standard template.
These are actual web pages with a unique address and a "clean url." In other words, the url does not contain a bunch of database commands, such as are found in most other directories. In addition, the page is not cluttered with ads and your information is not embedded in the host page.
Why should you create a psyris page? Well, to start, it's free. And if you are in practice, you need to have a presence on the web. Maybe you don't need any new referrals, but people are in fact going to search for your name, even if just to find your address or telephone number. If you don't have a webpage, people are going to wonder why, and wonder if you should be taken seriously. If you don't have a webpage, you don't know what people are going to find if they go searching for you.
If you already have webpage, you still want to create a page at psyris. The reason is simple: it will give you greater exposure, and the link from your psyris page back to your own website will improve your ranking in the search engines.
Psyris also includes a free classified advertising system. It's based on a blog, and ads can be posted via email. It's simple.
I have been running a similar webpage (calpsy.net) for a number of years. Psyris is coming online because I want to expand the reach of the service and because the technology underlying my old page is showing its age. The old database is outdated and no longer entirely reliable.
If you have any questions, commments, complaints or suggestions, feel free to contact me. I can be reached by email ... and you will find additional contact information at my own psyris page: psyris.com/drmattiuzzi
I am a licensed psychologist in independent practice. This is my own project.
