We understand that the client-therapist relationship is key to successful care. While we don’t offer consultations directly with your matched provider before your first session, we do encourage you to give the match a try. If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, just let us know—we’ll gladly work with you to find someone better aligned.

Step 3: Begin Therapy or Testing

For therapy seekers - Once matched, you’ll begin care with your assigned therapist on a weekly basis. Your provider will continue to check in and adapt the process as you move forward, using measurement based care where relevant to make sure you are moving towards your goals.

For those seeking psychological evaluation - Once testing is complete, your psychologist will prepare a full written report and schedule a follow-up session to walk you through the results, answer questions, and offer next steps. This may include diagnoses, referrals, recommendations, or accommodations for school or work.
