I wish I knew of a review site for therapists, perhaps someone else can offer suggestions?

I do have some bookmarks for organizations which have both directories for local mental health organizations & search engines for therapists, in North America:

ADAA search: http://www.adaa.org/GettingHelp/FindATherapist.asp
ADAA Treament Centers: http://www.adaa.org/gettinghelp/Publications/TreatmentCenter.asp

SAMHSA's Mental Health Services Locator (government site):
http://www.mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/databases/

APA (American Psychological Association) search: http://locator.apahelpcenter.org/
APA State & Provincial Psychological Associations: http://www.apa.org/practice/refer.html

American Psychiatric Association (also with the acronym APA): http://www.healthyminds.org/locateapsychiatrist.cfm
APA (Psychiatric) District Branch/State Association Directory: http://www.psych.org/dbs_state_soc/db_list/db_info_dyn.cfm

AABT (Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy) search:
https://aabt.org/members/Directory/Find_A_Therapist.cfm

Psychology Today therapists search:

And finally the 'therapist finder':
http://www.therapistfinder.net/

Phew, what a list. hehe.. and probably not even half of the ones that are out there.
You could also try your local yellow pages, or even an online yellow pages search like http://www.bigbook.com/

hope that helps!

P.S. Most of these links are for finding therapists in North America - I hope someone else can chime in with international resources ;) Otherwise, I may save that research for another day
