Finding your next therapist shouldn't be a second job
Your therapist shared this with you because they want you to find someone good. We're here to help with that.
You're not starting over
Transitions in therapy are hard. Losing a therapist you trust can feel unsettling, and the idea of searching for a new one can feel overwhelming on top of everything else.
StartHere.care was built to make that search easier. Instead of scrolling through directories, reading generic bios, and making phone calls that go to voicemail, you answer a few questions about what you're looking for and the platform finds therapists who are a strong fit.
How it works
Tell us what matters to you
Create a free profile and answer questions about what you're looking for: insurance, session format, what you want to work on, and the kind of therapist you'd feel comfortable with.
See therapists who fit
The platform matches you with licensed therapists based on your answers. You'll see who's a strong match and why, not just who happens to appear first.
Reach out when you're ready
When you find someone who looks right, you can express interest through the platform. No phone tag, no wondering if they have availability. The therapist will reach out to you directly.
Free. No subscriptions. Takes about 5 minutes.
Questions you might have
Is this actually free?
Yes. StartHere.care is free for clients. There are no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no upsells. We're independently built and not backed by venture capital.
Is my information private?
Your profile is only visible to licensed therapists on the platform, and only your first name and last initial are shown. Therapists cannot see your full name or contact information unless you choose to connect with them.
How is this different from a directory?
Directories show you everyone. We show you who actually fits. Our matching considers your therapy style preferences, not just location and insurance. Research shows that the relationship between client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether therapy works.
What if I don't know exactly what I want?
That's completely fine. You can skip any question you're unsure about. The platform works with whatever you give it and you can always come back and update your preferences later.
How long does this take?
The intake takes about 5 minutes. Once you submit it, you'll immediately see therapists who match your preferences.
Therapy works best when the fit is right. The fact that your therapist cared enough to help you find someone good says a lot about them, and about the kind of care you deserve going forward.
