Find Your Therapist

Use our search to find therapists in your area. You can filter by therapy type, specialization, and insurance. Many therapists offer a free initial consultation to see if you're a good fit for each other.

Costs vary depending on the therapist, your insurance, and the type of therapy. With insurance, you may pay a copay of $20–$50 per session. Without insurance, sessions typically cost between $100 and $250. Many therapists offer sliding scale fees based on income.

It depends on your needs and goals. Short-term therapy might be 8–16 sessions, while longer-term work can continue for months or years. You and your therapist will discuss a treatment plan during your first sessions.

Psychologists hold a doctoral degree in psychology and provide talk therapy. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. Many people work with both. Licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and licensed professional counselors (LPCs) also provide therapy.

Wait times vary by location and provider. In major cities, you might wait a few weeks to a few months. Some therapists offer telehealth appointments with shorter wait times. Our directory helps you find therapists currently accepting new clients.

In your first session (intake), you'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your background, and your goals. The therapist will explain their approach and answer your questions. There's no pressure to share everything at once. Think of it as a conversation to see if it feels like a good fit.
