Mental Health Professionals Email Scraper

Find public websites for therapists, psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists, and mental health practices, then extract business emails that those sites visibly publish. The Actor is built for ethical B2B outreach, provider-directory research, partnership discovery, and local market analysis—not patient data or clinical decision-making.

What it extracts

Each dataset row represents one professional or practice website. By default, every returned row contains at least one public email.

Field	Meaning
professionalName	Provider name when the website identifies one
credentials	Public credentials such as PhD, PsyD, LCSW, LMFT, or LPC
practiceName	Clinic, group practice, or organization name
specialties	Detected areas such as anxiety, trauma/PTSD, couples therapy, EMDR, or addiction
primaryEmail, emails	Visible, normalized emails; addresses are never guessed
emailSourceUrls	Exact pages where an email was found
emailConfidence	high for mailto:/structured data, medium for visible page text
phoneNumbers	Public phone values from links or structured data
website, pagesVisited	Canonical website and the pages inspected
Address fields	Published address, city, region, postal code, and country when available
socialUrls	Social accounts linked by the practice website
Source fields	Search URL and specialty-location query used for discovery

How discovery works

Provide specialties and locations, and the Actor searches public search result pages. auto tries Google first and falls back to Bing and DuckDuckGo when a page is unavailable or yields no candidates. It excludes common directory and social-network results so that it can focus on official professional and practice websites.

For every candidate, it fetches robots.txt, respects crawl exclusions, verifies that public page text matches the requested specialty and location, visits the landing page, and follows a small number of same-domain links whose labels indicate contact, about, team, staff, therapists, or clinicians. Requests are bounded by the input limits, use consistent proxy sessions, retry only transient errors, and never cross into login or patient-portal flows.

Alternatively, supply startUrls to inspect known practice websites directly. You may combine direct URLs with search discovery.

Pricing

This Actor uses transparent pay per event pricing. Platform usage is included rather than passed through separately.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.005 per run
Professional contact record	$0.02 per dataset row

A run returning 10 records costs $0.205 in events. A truthful empty run costs only the $0.005 start event. Use maxResults and Apify's maximum total charge to cap spend. Each default-dataset row is charged automatically exactly once; the Actor does not add a duplicate custom charge.

Reliability and truthful outcomes

The OUTPUT key-value record classifies every run as DATA, EMPTY, BLOCKED, or REJECTED. It includes candidate, request, failure, warning, and delivered counts. A site that publishes no email does not generate a fabricated record. If public pages are broadly blocked, the Actor returns a blocker diagnosis and zero result events. Valid results already delivered are preserved when individual sites fail.

Static HTTP keeps runs fast and inexpensive, but some JavaScript-only sites may expose fewer fields. Search engines and websites can rate-limit or challenge automated access. Configure an appropriate Apify Proxy group where permitted, reduce concurrency for fragile sites, or provide direct practice URLs. The Actor does not solve CAPTCHAs, use logged-in sessions, bypass paywalls, or defeat access controls.

Privacy, compliance, and responsible use

This tool extracts contact information intentionally published on public professional/business websites. It does not collect patient records, appointment details, insurance claims, protected health information, private accounts, or data behind authentication. Mental health specialty data can still be sensitive in context; use it only for lawful business purposes.

You are responsible for the websites' terms, robots rules, applicable privacy and electronic-marketing laws, opt-out handling, and your legal basis for outreach. Do not use the data for harassment, discriminatory profiling, clinical decisions, emergency services, or unsolicited bulk messaging. Verify important provider and licensing information with the relevant official authority before relying on it.

For support, open an issue from the Actor page with a redacted input, run ID, expected outcome, and the affected public URL. Never include patient information, credentials, cookies, or tokens.
