Can I switch therapists?
Yes. No explanation needed.
Why switching matters

What you don't need to do
You don't need to explain to your current therapist why you're switching. You don't need to have a difficult final session. You don't need to wait for a "right moment."
How to switch
Contact us through the platform. We'll arrange a new match. The process is the same as the initial matching — we'll review what you're looking for and pair you with someone appropriate.
You'll get another free intro chat with the new therapist before anything is booked.
A note on trial and error
Some people find their first therapist and it clicks. Others try two or three before finding the right person. Both are normal.
The goal is finding someone who can actually help you. Everything else — including the switching — is in service of that.
