Disclosure

How this site is funded, its independence from any therapist or company, and the limits of general information.

This site has no sponsors, sells nothing and takes no payment from therapists, clinics, insurers, apps or therapy companies. If that ever changes, any commercial link will be marked where it appears and carry rel="sponsored" in the page code, and it will never change what a guide says.

Independence

Until about 2023 the domain was used by Therapy Network, a Bay Area non-profit referral service whose website is no longer at this address. This site has no connection to that organization or to any therapist, practice or referral service, and it does not recommend particular providers.

General information only

The guides are general information, not medical, psychological, insurance or legal advice. For care, talk to a licensed professional; for coverage, ask your health plan or your state Medicaid agency. In crisis or worried about someone? In the US, call or text 988 (the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), free and available 24/7. In an emergency, call 911.
