How Do I Find a Therapist?
First things first, do you have insurance?
If you have insurance, one option is to call your insurance and ask for a list of agencies and/or providers that accept your insurance.
You can also pay out-of-pocket for a therapist and ask if they provide superbills. With a superbill, you can talk to your insurance and see if they will reimburse you for all or part of the cost of therapy. (Results vary)
What are some sites I can use to look for a therapist?
These sites may also include therapists who accept your insurance.
To name a few:
OpenPathCollective.org (for low-income needs)
There are likely many more. I encourage you to do your research to find whatever therapist is right for you
*Disclaimer: I do advertise on some of these sites.
What about Apps/Online Services?
There are other options like Path Mental Health, Headway, Better Help, TalkSpace, Cerebral.
*Disclaimer: I do use some of these sites. I encourage you to do your research to find whatever therapist is right for you
Are there other options?
Sure! Remember, therapy might not be for everybody. One option I highly recommend is first talking to your doctor. They know you and can make recommendations for care.
Other options include:
- Support Groups
- Skills or Psychoeducation Groups
- Coaching
- Psychiatry/Medication Only Services
