How to Choose a Good Psychic? The Difference Between Bad, Good and Excellent Psychics
Choosing a psychic healer can feel overwhelming. With so many options and so much at stake, it helps to understand how to choose a good psychic you can trust. Let’s look at what separates the bad, the good, and the truly excellent.
I am betting you want clarity
Are you at a crossroads, seeking clarity, but unsure how to find a trustworthy psychic or intuitive healer? With so many choices, it can be hard to know where to turn. So how do you tell the difference between a bad, good, and truly excellent psychic?
LET’S NAME THE PROBLEM
Let’s be honest—most people turn to psychics because they’re stuck.
-
Should I take this job or wait for something better?
-
Should I move in with them?
-
Should I divorce my husband and find someone new?
These questions are valid, but they point to something deeper. People often seek out a psychic not just because they can’t decide—but because they’ve lost touch with their own ability to choose. And that’s where things can go off track—fast.
THE RED FLAG: DEPENDENCY
Bad psychics give you answers—and in the worst cases, they tell you what you want to hear.
They may sound confident—even gifted—but they’re not helping you become self-sufficient. Instead, they create dependency by encouraging you to keep coming back for answers—answers that should be coming from you, not them.
❌ That’s not empowerment. That’s a trap.
WHAT GOOD PSYCHICS ACTUALLY DO
Good psychics guide you back to your own inner knowing. They don’t build your reliance on them—they help you build trust in yourself.
Here’s what that looks like:
I recently worked with a client who was facing a big decision but felt completely stuck. She wasn’t sure which way to go, so I asked her to sit with each option and feel into the energy of each path. As she focused on one of the options, I saw in my mind’s eye a tall, dark-haired bearded man with round glasses looming over her. So I described what I was seeing and asked her, “Do you know this man?”
She paused and said, “That’s my father.”
I then shared what I was hearing: “I hear him saying something about you needing to marry well.”
She instantly recognized it. “That’s exactly what he used to say—that I needed to find a man to take care of me.”
In that moment, the weight of those words hit her. It was like a piece of the puzzle fell into place. With my attention focused on her, she began to grieve. She released years of suppressed emotion—anger, sadness, and the deep frustration of carrying that belief for so long.
As she allowed herself to feel and grieve, the energy in her field shifted. The heaviness began to lift, and with it, the clarity she had been seeking.
A good psychic healer doesn’t just read your energy—they help you uncover what’s hidden in your field. Sometimes it’s an old belief or memory that has been running the show without you even knowing. By bringing these hidden pieces to light and helping you release them, you can reconnect to the clarity and freedom already inside you.
WHAT MAKES AN EXCELLENT PSYCHIC
An excellent psychic doesn’t just help you tune in. They help you transform. They use their gift to show you what you can’t yet see—your blind spots, your patterns, the unconscious beliefs that keep running the show. They help you clear what’s in the way of your own wisdom.
They don’t just help you feel better. They help you become who you really are.

✅ QUICK CHECKLIST: 7 TIPS TO CHOOSE A GOOD PSYCHIC
If you’re considering working with a psychic, keep these tips in mind:
- Look for real testimonials and success stories.
-
Be sure pricing is clear and transparent.
-
Avoid anyone who guarantees results.
-
Notice if they build your confidence rather than dependency.
-
Pay attention to how you feel in their presence—safe, respected, and seen.
-
Look for humility, not ego or superiority.
-
Trust your intuition—it’s your best guide when choosing a psychic healer.
MOTIVATION MATTERS
Bad psychics are driven by ego. They want to be seen as special, enlightened, even superior. Many confuse psychic ability with spiritual maturity. But being psychic doesn’t make someone wise. It doesn’t make them kind, grounded, or ethical.
Good psychics want you to grow. They want you to become more self-reliant, resilient, and whole.
Excellent psychics? They want you to live fully—with purpose. And to do that, you need to know how to follow your own inner compass. There’s a big difference between someone who gives you a fish—and someone who helps you trust the river inside you.
