I'm not sure how I would feel if my T had a website... luckily he's fairly computer-illiterate and works for the university, so I don't think I have to worry. My school has a website where they list all the therapists and their personal info/research/professional interests. My T is the only one that has nothing but his name and college he went to up... I keep hoping they'll put something more, but I almost think it's part of my T's philosophy that he likes working with all sorts of people. I do know his specialty, and it's nothing at all relevant to me (substance abuse) but it doesn't bother me because I think there's actually a lot of overlap between what he's trained in as a social worker and what my issues are. And it works well for me, so that's all that matters.
I can see how it would be really disconcerting, though... my T has other stuff on the net about him and I actually avoid reading it now because sometimes it's disconcerting to me to think that there's another part of his life that doesn't include me and where I'm not necessarily the most important part of his life (because of course I'm the most important part of his professional life!) ;)
Keep talking with him... I feel like there might be something really deep in your reaction that could lead to an insight for you.
