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 Chicago for anxiety?”
I can't vouch for one specific therapist. My search turned up directory listings, not reviews I could check, and I couldn't confirm who is taking new clients right now. These steps should help you find a good fit.
Where to look - TherapyDen has a Chicago anxiety page that lists therapists who offer in-person and online sessions. Some profiles say they're accepting new clients in Illinois. The site is therapyden.com. - Psychology Today's therapist finder lets you filter by Chicago, anxiety, insurance, and telehealth. - The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) has a directory of clinicians who specialize in anxiety.
What to look for - Evidence-based treatment: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the standard approach for generalized anxiety, panic, and social anxiety. For OCD or phobias, look for exposure and response prevention (ERP) or exposure therapy. - Licensure: Look for an LCSW, LCPC, licensed psychologist (PhD or PsyD), or LMFT. You can check an Illinois license on the IDFPR website. - Logistics: Confirm that they take your insurance or offer a sliding scale, and that they have openings. Many Chicago therapists also see clients by telehealth, which widens your options. - Fit: Most offer a free 15-minute consult. Ask how they treat anxiety, how long treatment usually takes, and how you'll track progress.
Lower-cost options in Chicago - Community mental health centers - University training clinics, such as those at Northwestern, DePaul, or the Adler School - The city's Chicago Department of Public Health mental health clinics
If you tell me your neighborhood, insurance, and whether you prefer in-person or online sessions, I can narrow this down. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.

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.
