TherapyRoute.com

TherapyRoute.com enables public members worldwide to find their best fit nearby mental health professional. There are thousands of psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, social workers, psychoanalysts, family therapists, and psychotherapists to choose from.

The platform is easy to use and automatically displays the therapists nearest to you while prioritising those with immediate availability.

Identity-based filters make it easy to find therapists that get you—looking for an LGBT or Black therapist? Visit the site, select the option you want from our easy drop-downs, and you are done!

Apart from making it easy to connect with therapists, this platform equips professionals to easily publish informative writing while representing their practices perfectly. This allows us to help raise awareness, but it also gives you a chance to read some of their writing before you choose.

Unlike some other therapist directories and therapy delivery platforms, we are clinician run. Consequently, we are guided by professional, and not corporate, ethics. We understand what works and what good therapy really looks like.

Sure, we all want convenience, but efficacy is more important. Texting is no substitute for genuine, in-person, human contact.

Since launching in 2016, we have found our calling and stand predominantly as a champion of five things:

1. Improving the accessibility of mental health services: We achieve this by offering a sophisticated therapist directory and mental health resource designed to help people find their best fit therapist anywhere on earth.

2. Promoting awareness of talk therapy: We believe strongly in talk therapy and the value of applying and promoting the theory and knowledge upon which it rests. Therefore, we actively promote talk therapies that have been proven to be effective and respect depth, continuity and human complexity.

3. Welcoming all disciplines: We support and welcome providers from all orientations and acknowledge the value of all established forms of talk therapy (long/short-term and structured/unstructured).

4. Supporting independent practice: With the rapid rise of venture capital-driven online therapy platforms, TherapyRoute remains a clinician run service, focused more on principles than profits. We still respect the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship and clinician autonomy.

5. Facilitating professional visibility: Our platform equips qualified mental-health professionals (e.g. psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, clinical social workers, and family or relationship therapists) to represent their services easily and publish written work online. In addition, we welcome clinics, counselling centres, rehabilitation programs, and group practices across both private practice and community services.

We are aware that choosing a mental health provider is intensely personal. Having appropriate knowledge about the person or provider can help someone seeking therapy choose the optimum fit. TherapyRoute encourages all listed providers to describe their services and level of expertise openly.

The TherapyRoute team respects the sanctity of the psychotherapeutic relationship and the boundaries that this requires. We understand that the only distinction between patients and therapists is their respective roles in the therapeutic setting.

No one is immune to the human condition; we are all vulnerable, and, most importantly, we are all in this together.

TherapyRoute.com is an opportunity for mutual growth, and we look forward to growing together.

No matter where you are on earth if you are looking for a therapist who remains free to work according to their training (not profit-driving company regulations), visit TherapyRoute.com and find your best fit therapist today.

Note: The word ‘patient’ is used to respect the suffering that so often underpins the therapeutic relationship and reminds us of the importance of compassion and uncompromising ethical integrity in this work.
