Pause, Deactivate, Delete, or Reactivate Your Full Options

How to Pause Your Profile

Follow Steps 1–3 above, then look for a Pause Profile, Hide Listing, or Temporarily Deactivate option rather than cancelling outright. Pausing removes your listing from the public directory, keeps your account and data intact, and lets you reactivate instantly when you're ready. Best for parental leave, sabbaticals, or temporarily reducing caseload.

How to Deactivate Your Profile

Deactivating sits between pausing and deleting it makes your listing invisible to clients browsing the directory, but keeps your account and all data on file. To deactivate, follow the same process as pausing and look for Deactivate Profile, Hide Profile, or Suspend Listing in your account or subscription settings.

How to Delete Your Profile Permanently

Log in, go to Account Settings, and look for a Delete Account or Close Account option this may be under a settings or privacy section. If you can't find it, contact Psychology Today's support team and request account deletion. Deletion is permanent your profile, bio, endorsements, and history cannot be recovered. Whether you're looking to delete your Psychology Today profile entirely or just close the account tied to it, this is the option that removes everything. Only choose this if you're certain you won't return.

How to Reactivate Your Profile

Log in to your account, go to your subscription or membership settings, and select Reactivate, Resume Listing, or Renew Subscription. Update your billing details if needed and confirm your profile will go live again once payment is processed. If you fully deleted your account, you'll need to start from scratch with a new sign-up.
