Why people use TherapistFinder
More than a list of names — a way to actually narrow down who fits.
AI-assisted matching
Describe your situation and see the filters we understood — issue, approach, language, format, location — before applying them. No diagnosis, no clinical advice.
Clear, honest profiles
Credentials, registration details and fees are supplied by each professional. Verification badges appear only where a listing has been reviewed.
Shortlist and compare
Save professionals you like and put them side by side on fees, format, languages and specialties before you reach out.
Browse popular areas of support
Online therapy, wherever you are in Canada
Many professionals offer secure video and phone sessions, which can mean shorter waits and more evening options — especially outside major cities.

For therapists and supervisors
Build a profile that the right clients can actually find. TherapistFinder gives you a visibility score, AI keyword and wording suggestions you approve yourself, and a simple inbox for appointment requests.

Plans for professionals
Start with a free public listing that stays live for your first month, then automatically upgrades to Professional at $49.99/year. We ask for a card up front so your listing keeps running when the free month ends — nothing is charged until then, and you can cancel any time.
