What to expect from therapy
First session (intake)
Your therapist will ask about your background, current challenges, and goals. This is a chance for both of you to see if it's a good fit. Most first sessions last 50-60 minutes.
Typical frequency
Most people start with weekly sessions. As you progress, you may move to biweekly or monthly. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
Session duration
Individual sessions typically last 45-60 minutes. Couples and family sessions may run 60-90 minutes. Online sessions follow the same format.
How long until results
Many people notice improvements within 4-8 sessions. Deeper issues may take 3-6 months. Your therapist will track progress and adjust the approach as needed.
Confidentiality
Everything discussed in therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions (risk of harm to self or others). Online sessions use HIPAA-compliant encrypted platforms.
Why FindSupport, not a directory
Traditional directories list everyone. We match you with the right one.
AI-powered matching, not endless scrolling
Traditional directories show you hundreds of profiles and leave you to figure it out. FindSupport asks what you're going through and matches you with therapists who specialize in exactly that.
Real therapist data, not just listings
We verify therapist credentials, specializations, and availability. You see real data — not self-reported marketing copy — so you can make an informed decision.
Context-aware recommendations
When you search for therapy in a specific city, we factor in local challenges, cost of living, insurance landscape, and available specializations — not just proximity.
From search to contact in minutes
Instead of bookmarking profiles and comparing them later, you can describe your situation, see your matches, and reach out — all in one conversation.
