The Essential Self
thessentialself.com · Other
Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl The Essential Self, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About The Essential Self
from our crawl and measurement
Jennifer Hurley, LPC is a Bloomfield Hills, MI business whose own site puts it this way: "Individual psychotherapy in Bloomfield Hills, MI and throughout Michigan for anxiety, trauma, life transitions, women's mental health, relationships, and addiction." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.7 out of 10.
Our crawl found structured data on the page (WebSite), a sitemap and a readable heading structure. It is missing an llms.txt file.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 3.7/10, The Essential Self is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Essential Self?
I believe each of us has an Essential Self—the part of us that existed before life experiences, trauma, relationships, fear, or the expectations of others told us who we should be.It is the part of us that holds our values, strengths, passions, intuition, compassion, and purpose.Over time, many of us become disconnected from that part of ourselves.
