It’s completely natural to feel nervous, hesitant, or uncertain about starting therapy. When considering a therapist, verify that they have the necessary qualifications to provide therapy.
Give the therapy sessions some time. If you felt okay about the therapist during the initial consultation or first session, if possible try to attend a few sessions before deciding whether it’s the right fit for you. Notice if you feel understood and have the space you need to express yourself. Remember that while expertise is essential, how you feel in the presence of your therapist is also important. Your therapist should be someone you not only like for their expertise but also feel comfortable and get along with.
It’s helpful to ask questions to your therapist and express any concerns you may have with the therapeutic process. Take your time in finding the right therapist for you. If you start sessions and find that it’s not the right fit, know that it’s okay to leave at any point.

We'll help you reach out and then step aside - your mental health journey is personal.
While we carefully curate our listings, we encourage you to make your own informed decisions. Take time to research, ask questions, verify credentials and choose what feels right for you. Your comfort and safety is top priority.
We take an immense amount of care in selecting the most inclusive and affirming mental health support providers to join our platform and be part of our growing community.
It took us 7+ years to get here
We have come a long way since we started in 2018, and have been adapting our curation process every day. From the time a therapist or support group reaches out to us, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the process.
We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.
We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.
If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
