A slower way to look for a therapist

Where the profiles come from

Every therapist listed here offers online therapy through BetterHelp, and every profile is based on information supplied by BetterHelp. Each listed therapist names depression among their areas of focus.

The therapists listed hold a recorded license in one or more of these states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. That does not mean they are located in those states, or licensed in all of them. Each profile shows the licenses on record, so you can see where a therapist can work.

The summaries on each profile are written from that profile information. We do not interview therapists, and we do not rate, rank or recommend anyone. Being listed here is not an endorsement.

How to choose someone to contact

1. Read the about section first. How a therapist describes their work can tell you a lot about whether it would suit you.
2. Look at the approaches. Some therapists focus on thoughts and habits, others on feelings, history or relationships. None is right for everyone.
3. Check the license. Make sure the therapist can work with people in the state where you live. You can check a license with the state licensing board.
4. Think about practical things. Language, experience and how sessions work all matter. It is fine to ask questions before you commit to anything.

About medication

Therapists on BetterHelp do not prescribe medication. If you want to talk about medical options for depression, a doctor can discuss them with you.
