How to Find a Therapist

Blue and pink sunset

Here are a few resources that might help you find a therapist that is a good fit for you. Remember—it’s okay to shop around until you find a therapist that meets your needs! 

Please note: This list refers to therapists who may have the following licenses: counselors (LPC, PLPC), social workers (LMSW, LCSW), marriage and family therapist (MFT, LMFT), and psychologists (Phd, Psyd). This list does not include psychiatrists: doctors who prescribe psychiatric medications and may also offer psychotherapy. 

Check out your health insurance benefits.

If you are unfamiliar with terminology related to health insurance like benefits, deductible, co-pay, etc, see this website. Some insurance plans may require you to pay your full deductible before behavioral health (ie: therapy) is covered. Other plans may offer a lump sum co-pay, or co-insurance percentage, toward therapy. To find out about your insurance benefits, call the phone number on the back of your insurance card, or go to your health insurance website. 

Do I have to see a therapist in the city I live in?

If you are interested in telehealth (seeing a therapist via an online platform) you can meet with any therapist licensed in the state you live in.

Search for a therapist online. Here are some websites: 

Psychology Today: A database of therapists and psychiatrists. You can search by zip code, health insurance accepted, gender, race, type of therapy offered, and other filters. Each clinician has a page describing their practice, including costs. You can email clinicians directly through the website or call a phone number provided on each page. 

Zencare: Another database of therapists. You can search by zip code, health insurance accepted, gender, race, type of therapy offered, and other filters. You can schedule a free 10 minute call directly on each clinician page, and also view their availability and cost.

You can search for therapists via zip code, gender, race, type of therapy offered, and other filters. Each clinician has a page describing their practice. You can email clinicians directly through the website or call a phone number provided on each page.
