Who Claude named
The first week we asked, so there is nothing to compare with yet. Ranked by how many answers named them, then by how early.

Word for word
The full answers
“Can you recommend a good therapist in Boston for anxiety?”
I can't point you to one individual therapist with confidence. I couldn't verify any single person's current availability or fit for you. Here are some places to start, based on what I found in my search.
Where to look - Yelp's Boston anxiety counseling list. It currently ranks Charlene C. Chow, LMHC, MPH (5.0, 4 reviews, Back Bay) and Sirry Berndsen (4.8, 65 reviews, Brookline) near the top. Chow has few reviews, so Berndsen's rating rests on more feedback. - Grow Therapy's Boston CBT directory. It lists therapists who treat anxiety with cognitive behavioral therapy. One listed social worker has a 4.9 rating from 63 reviews. Many of these therapists also offer telehealth, which can widen your options.
What to look for - Method: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure-based therapy have the strongest evidence for anxiety. - Credentials: Look for a licensed psychologist, LICSW or LMHC. - Practicalities: Check insurance, session cost and whether they have openings. Call or check each practice's site first, since availability changes quickly.
Other options - Ask your primary care doctor for a referral. - Call your insurance company for in-network providers. - If you want a specialized clinic, Boston has university-affiliated anxiety programs, such as those at Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston University. I didn't check their current status, so confirm they're open and taking patients.
If you tell me your insurance, your neighborhood, and whether you prefer in-person or online sessions, I can narrow this down.

How we ask
Method
Once a week we ask Claude (Anthropic's assistant) the same fixed questions a person in each city might type, with web search turned on and set to that city, and we ask it to check the web before it answers. We use Claude's API, the version developers build on, so an answer in the Claude app on your phone can differ. These answers were asked the week of Nov 9, 2026.
We show what Claude said, word for word, and count who it named. Besides the question, we ask Claude only to check current information and to list the businesses it named at the end of its answer, which is how we count them. We don't rank anyone ourselves, nobody pays to appear, and our own clients get no special treatment: if a competitor of theirs is named, it's on the list.
AI answers can be wrong. Claude can name a business that has closed or misdescribe one, and we haven't checked each name. Treat this as a record of what Claude says, not a recommendation from Kalydron.
