HOW IT WORKS - Tell us a bit about what you're looking for: your goals, your preferred style, your availability - Browse matched therapist profiles, each reviewed and verified before they ever appear in the app - Request an intro call directly with therapists you're interested in - Meet for a quick, no-pressure 10-minute video call to see if it feels right - If it's a match, continue your care however works best for you: in person, through your own platform, or wherever you're most comfortable FOR THERAPISTS TheraFinder is currently free for therapists building their caseload. Set up your profile, share your specialties and approach, and connect directly with patients who are actively looking for someone like you. TheraFinder is a discovery and scheduling tool. It's not a substitute for therapy itself, and it doesn't provide clinical services. All care happens between you and your licensed provider, outside the app.
