How do I find a therapist?

Mental health and wellness

It explains how to look for a therapist, but it does not list or book any.

This needs an account. Sign in to the app first.

Steps

  1. Open Wellness, then the Mind & Mental Health group, then Mental Health Center. On the Tools tab, under Support, tap Find a Therapist.
  2. Read Types of Therapy to see what each kind is for.
  3. Open Finding a Therapist for ways to search and questions to ask in a first call.
  4. Open Insurance & Cost and Barriers & Access if cost or getting started is the hard part.
  5. Try Fit Check. Answer four questions and tap See My Recommendations. It suggests kinds of therapy to read about. It is not advice for your case.

What it cannot do

This screen does not search for therapists near you, check who takes your insurance or book a visit. The Finding a Therapist tab points to outside directories that you can use for that.

Your answers

Your Fit Check answers stay on the screen. They are not saved. Tap Start Over to clear them.
