Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

There is a lack of high quality open source mental health data available for study in NLP. Most datasets revolve around forums like Reddit, which can provide great insights, but don't capture the type of language often used by counselors. This dataset seeks to help bridge that gap and provide some additional data of counselors interacting with patients in need.

Source Data

The dataset was scraped on 20220401 from counselchat.com.

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The dataset was scraped on 20220401 from counselchat.com. The data is in it's raw form and has not been normalized.

Who are the source language producers?

The text was written by licensed counselors in the United States and annonymous individuals.

Annotations

The dataset does not contain any additional annotations.

Personal and Sensitive Information

This data is not anonymized, so individuals' names can be found in the dataset. CounselChat.com allows therapists to advertise for their clinics by providing sound publicly available advise. The therapist names have been kept as part of the original dataset.
