A trusted psychic directory built around screening, standards, and real accountability.
Best American Psychics was built to help clients find experienced psychic professionals with more confidence, clearer standards, and a stronger sense of who is actually being recommended.
Best American Psychics was never designed to list everyone.
Established in 2009, Best American Psychics is a boutique psychic directory built around selective screening. The goal has always been simple: make it easier for the public to find professional psychics who have actually been reviewed for accuracy, ethics, professionalism, and client experience.
Unlike directories that focus on size or open enrollment, Best American Psychics was built around the idea that trust should come before scale. The platform is intentionally curated, and every listed advisor is expected to meet a stronger standard before being presented publicly.
About Shay Parker
Shay Parker is the founder of Best American Psychics and the driving force behind its emphasis on structure, ethics, screening, and stronger professional standards in the psychic industry.
Shay created BAP because the industry often asks clients to navigate open directories with little clarity around who has actually been reviewed, what standards exist, or whether a reader is operating professionally.
Her philosophy is simple: quality over quantity, visible ethical standards, advisor accountability, and a client-first approach that helps the public make more informed decisions when choosing a psychic.
Shay also founded the Certified Psychic Society as an additional professional resource for psychics suited to interviews, media opportunities, podcasts, radio, magazines, and other public-facing work.
Best American Psychics reflects Shay's long-standing view that a smaller, more selective directory is more valuable than a giant marketplace filled with unverified claims.
Screening matters because clients often seek guidance during vulnerable moments, including grief, relationship uncertainty, family challenges, career decisions, and spiritual crossroads. Stronger advisor standards help create a more trustworthy environment for those conversations.
A founder-led standard
The philosophy behind Best American Psychics is still shaped by the idea that public trust matters more than volume. That is why the directory continues to be selective, manually reviewed, standards-driven, and explicitly built around the values Shay Parker established from the beginning.
Between Worlds: Reflections
Published work and broadcasting
Shay Parker is also a published author. Between Worlds: Reflections is a collaborative work featuring Shay Parker and the Best American Psychics team, bringing together personal experiences, client stories, mediumship encounters, and reflections from tested psychic professionals.
Her public-facing work also includes radio and media programming designed to educate listeners, spotlight advisors, and encourage more thoughtful conversations about the psychic industry.
How to choose the right psychic
Every psychic has a different style, specialty, and way of working. Some clients want a psychic medium, some want tarot, and others want direct insight into love, relationships, career choices, or spiritual growth.
Best American Psychics is designed to help you compare advisors more clearly through profiles, specialties, testimonials, and immediate reading options.
Why online psychic readings work so well
Phone, chat, email, and video readings give clients more privacy, broader choice, and easier access to tested professionals across the country.
Many people looking for a psychic near them discover that the best fit is not always local. Online readings make it easier to prioritize quality over geography.
What Best American Psychics stands for
Best American Psychics believes psychic ability can be meaningful and helpful, while also recognizing that the industry can attract unethical actors. That is exactly why this platform leans so heavily into testing, ethics, professionalism, and accountability.
It is not built to be the biggest directory. It is built to be a more trustworthy one.
