PSYCHē is a private network of therapists throughout the country.
We’re here to help. Period.
Online therapy and in-person therapy
How do I find a great therapist in my area? A directory tells only part of the story. Just because your neighbor likes someone doesn’t mean they’re a fit for you. The fact is, finding the best therapist isn’t easy. That’s why we’ve done the work for you. We pair you with your perfect therapist. We know what makes a great therapist versus a bad or “just ok” therapist. Our vision is to raise the bar on the expectations of the behavioral healthcare industry as a whole. See how we’re different.
Read. Listen. Learn.
“PSYCHē Says” Podcast
Let's face it, most therapists won't say what they really think. We're a group of Psychologists and Licensed Counselors who have real lives and real opinions.
We promise not to use cringy "woo-woo" catch-phrases or whispery soft voices when we talk about difficult topics like self-harm, suicide, parenting out-of-control teens, and more. We combine irreverent humor with information & believe in getting right to the point.

You can relax because we’ve worked hard to screen out the “bad apples.” We know what you’re looking for and what you’d prefer to avoid. Unfortunately, there are plenty of horror stories out there when it comes to the therapy world. Unethical, unscrupulous, and flaky therapists are not as uncommon as they should be. Canceling and rescheduling sessions last minute, not completing notes on time [or sometimes not doing them at all!], failing to maintain appropriate boundaries with patients, using an inappropriate model of therapy which leads to worsening of symptoms, interrupting the patient to attend to personal matters involving the therapist’s pet or child, and even falling asleep mid session are all issues which can occur if you end up with the wrong therapist.

In our field, it’s widely accepted for a therapist to practice as a “generalist;” in other words, a therapist who takes anyone who comes across their path and who may not commit to any one type of therapy. In most cases, these therapists accept new clients based upon whether they believe a client is a good fit for THEM, not whether they are the best therapist for a client. At PSYCHē, our therapists don’t choose their clients. After we assess the needs of a client, we match them with the provider who is the best fit for them.

Sadly, the saying “you can’t know what you don’t know” turns out to also apply to therapists— in fact, some of our therapist interviews turn awkward when they realize how much they don’t know! The bottom line is, although professional ethics codes require therapists to stay within their “boundaries of competency,” there is no oversight or formal regulation on whether they do what they claim in their online profiles. For example, many therapists identify as “eclectic,” but don’t fully understand any of the treatment models eclecticism combines. PSYCHē therapists have gone through a rigorous 4-part interview process to determine their level of knowledge on their chosen therapy model and to what degree they have experience working with populations they say they treat.
