About Therapy

This is not possible. Therapists have their own schedule and need to focus on their clients they have on the given day. If you want to understand if the therapist you are interested in suitable for you, you can book a trial session which is more affordable and shorter than the regular therapy session.
Yes you can, but you need to inform and have a consent about the appointment.

You will need to pay and responsible to maintain the communication if she or he faces any problem (technical or personal like changing the appointment date etc.).
Unfortunately, we can't do that. If you are on a budget, you can check the other therapists who offers the same service for a lower rate.
Using our platform is free, we aim to connect you with the best therapists in their fields. Offering a free therapy session is not possible as it isn't a sustainable business action.

However we offer a trial session which is much affordable compared to regular therapy sessions.
Our therapists have strong background in diverse areas of expertise. Here are some of the areas our therapists are specialized in:
  1. Anxiety
  2. Addiction
  3. Depression
  4. Eating Disorders
  5. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  6. Relationships
  7. Anger Management
  8. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Deciding to your therapist is a personal process. Here, on Therapist At Home, we aim to provide the best therapists in their areas. First of all, you should consider the language of your therapist. Although all of our therapists provide therapy in English, talking with someone in your mother language is different.

Secondly, you can review the therapists' profile, their specialized areas and reviews. The best way to understand if the therapist is right for you is to book a trial session and see whether you understand each other before going on with regular session.

If you don't know which therapist is right for you, you can also contact us via the chat button on the bottom right corner. We are here to help.
