Use ChatGPT To Filter 200+ Therapists & Support Groups

AI shouldn't replace professional and community support. That's why we're testing an AI bot that helps you filter through our curated directory, and find the right mental health resources for you or your loved ones.

You can now use ChatGPT to filter through 200+ therapists, support groups, helplines, exercises, and other mental health resources. Discuss your needs, and the bot will suggest personalized options from our curated listings.

Our bot does not provide medical or therapy advice.

We Built This Bot To Make Our Curated List More Discoverable.

Our custom GPT for ChatGPT searches through TheMindClan's verified directory to help you filter therapists, support groups, helplines, exercises, and other mental health resources. You can chat with our bot about what you're looking for - like location, budget, or specific concerns - and it will suggest personalized options from our curated listings.

This is not therapy. This is not medical advice. This is simply a tool to help you filter and discover mental health professionals, support groups, helplines, exercises, and other resources that might be a good fit for you.

The CustomGPT is a Gentle Guide.

It nudges you through a simple process to discover the right mental health support for yourself.

Share Your Needs

Tell our bot what you're looking for - whether it's therapists, support groups, helplines, exercises, or other resources. Share your location, budget, preferences, or specific concerns.

We're Also Trying To Prioritize Your Privacy

  • Our bot is instructed to never provide therapy, diagnosis, or medical advice.
  • All therapists, support groups, and other resources in our directory are verified by TheMindClan.
  • TheMindClan cannot see your conversations with our bot, but ChatGPT may use them for training their models (though we've requested they shouldn't, at the time of creation and submission of the bot).
  • Once you choose a profile to reach out to, ChatGPT will direct you to that specific profile on TheMindClan.com, so you can get in touch with the support provider directly.
  • Use your own judgment when choosing mental health resources and professionals.
  • For crisis support, please contact a helpline immediately.
  • The bot is an AI and may make mistakes, and its adherence to the instructions we've given it is not guaranteed. Please verify any details you receive.

Why We're Testing This Community Bot

As we grow to a community of over 200 support providers across therapists, support groups, events, and helplines, we're recognizing that some users may want a different way of filtering our curated lists. We wanted to meet users where they are and give them another option.

As a growing number of people share their personal concerns with ChatGPT, our hope with this CustomGPT is to offer them access to a community of curated support providers who can possibly understand them.

This is a community-driven project, not affiliated with OpenAI. You can use our custom GPT for a conversational experience, or browse our curated lists manually. Both approaches give you access to the same verified resources.

FAQs

Learn about our custom GPT for ChatGPT for filtering therapists, support groups, helplines, exercises, and other mental health resources.

  • Why did TheMindClan.com create this custom GPT for ChatGPT?

    Many AI mental health products are becoming popular. We created this custom ChatGPT GPT to help you filter and find the right human therapist, support group, helpline, exercise, or other mental health resource from our curated directory, not to replace therapy. It helps with the discovery process while maintaining the importance of human connection in mental health care.

    Note: We’ve instructed OpenAI not to train their models on this chat, but we aren’t sure how they interpret this instruction.

  • What is the Custom ChatGPT Therapist Finder?
    It’s a custom GPT for ChatGPT designed to help you filter and find therapists, support groups, helplines, exercises, and other mental health resources from our curated directory. You can chat with it about your needs, and it will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific requirements. We’ve requested that OpenAI not use these conversations for training, though we cannot guarantee how they handle this instruction.
  • Why are there so many AI-based therapy platforms emerging?
    The growth of AI therapy solutions stems from several factors. Our custom GPT focuses on helping you find the right human support. It searches through our verified directory of therapists and support groups to find options that match your location, budget, and specific needs.
  • Where can I find real mental health support?
    For genuine therapy and support groups, visit TheMindClan.com. We list qualified therapists, support groups, crisis helplines, exercises, and other mental health resources to connect you with proper human-based support.
  • Should we avoid using AI for wellbeing completely?
    Our custom GPT for ChatGPT can help you find therapists and support groups, but it’s not intended to replace therapy. It helps with the discovery process by matching you with available resources. Human oversight and professional guidance remain important for mental health care.
  • How does the custom GPT for ChatGPT protect my privacy?
    Our custom GPT for ChatGPT is designed to help you find the right therapist or support group from our verified directory. It’s a tool for discovery, not therapy. Your conversation with the GPT happens on ChatGPT’s platform - we can’t see that conversation, but ChatGPT may use it for training their models. We’ve requested that they not train on these conversations, though we cannot guarantee how they interpret or follow this instruction.
  • Where can I find more information about the limitations of chatbots in therapy?

    For those interested in learning more about the limitations and potential of AI in mental health support, please refer to this section of this page. It provides articles about both the potential and limitations of AI in mental health care.

    Key points to consider:

    -AI can help with resource discovery but may lack emotional intelligence

    -There are concerns about privacy, data security, and ethical implications

    -Our GPT is designed to help you filter and find human therapists, support groups, helplines, exercises, and other resources, not replace them

    -While AI may offer benefits in terms of accessibility, it may not fully replace the nuanced care provided by trained mental health professionals.

    It’s important to approach AI-based mental health tools with understanding of their limitations and to seek professional help when dealing with serious mental health concerns.

  • Is this officially approved by OpenAI?

    While this app is listed on the CustomGPT store, it is a community bot created by TheMindClan and is not officially approved or affiliated with OpenAI. This is an independent project that uses ChatGPT's platform to help people find mental health resources. We built this as a community service to make mental health support more discoverable, but it has no official connection to OpenAI beyond using their platform.

    That being said, we've had to jump through many hoops before they magically approved our app. Although, we aren't celebrating just yet. 👀
