How do I get started with therapy?
Ugh! I know, it can be SO confusing. We want you to find the care you need, even if it's not here, so we've taken extra care to make choosing a therapist simpler and informative. There's a lot of jargon in this field and a lot of different types of therapy.
Take your time and be proud of yourself for doing the leg work to find the right support - trust us, it'll pay off.
Below are three ways to connect with a therapist.
- Search Using Your Own WordsChoose whoever matches closest to your concerns, or use the filters to narrow down to what you need.
- Help Me ChooseWe'll help you choose. Answer six questions and we'll suggest a few therapists who might fit, plus some methods of care worth knowing about.
- What a Good Fit Looks LikeThe relationship matters as much as the method. Read our guide about finding the right fit first!

What is meetmytherapist.com?
The bigger directories out there have a lot of infrastructure behind them: investors, executives, a whole company. This one doesn't. I'm one person, a product designer with a clinical counseling background, and I built this because taking that first step toward therapy is already hard enough without a confusing directory getting in the way. My goal is simple: help you find the right person, faster.
