Find a Biopsychosocial Model Therapist
Browse therapists who use the biopsychosocial model. Watch their intro videos to find the right fit before booking.
The biopsychosocial model is a framework that considers the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to a person's well-being. Rather than focusing on just one dimension, therapists using this approach explore how genetics, thoughts and emotions, relationships, and social circumstances all interact. This comprehensive perspective leads to more personalized and effective care.
On First Session, you can browse therapists who work from a biopsychosocial framework and watch their intro videos to get a sense of their approach. All therapists have their credentials verified during onboarding. Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, you can book directly or request a free consultation to find the right match.

What is the biopsychosocial model?
The biopsychosocial model is a framework that understands health and well-being through three interconnected dimensions: biological (genetics, physical health, brain chemistry), psychological (thoughts, emotions, behaviours), and social (relationships, culture, environment). Therapists using this approach consider how these factors interact rather than focusing on just one area.
How can the biopsychosocial approach help?
Many people find the biopsychosocial approach helpful because it addresses their concerns comprehensively. It can support you in understanding how different aspects of your life contribute to your well-being, developing a more complete picture of your situation, and creating treatment plans that address multiple dimensions. This holistic perspective often leads to more effective outcomes.
What happens in a biopsychosocial session?
In biopsychosocial sessions, your therapist will explore multiple dimensions of your experience. They may ask about your physical health, thought patterns, emotional experiences, relationships, and social circumstances. Sessions aim to understand how these factors interact and to address your concerns from multiple angles, creating a comprehensive treatment approach.
How do I find a biopsychosocial therapist?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who use the biopsychosocial model. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their approach. You can book a session directly online or request a free consultation first. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding.
Is the biopsychosocial model right for me?
The biopsychosocial model may be a good fit if you want therapy that considers all aspects of your experience rather than focusing narrowly on one area. It's helpful if you sense that multiple factors contribute to your concerns and want a comprehensive approach. Consider booking a consultation with a therapist to discuss whether this framework suits you.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Browse biopsychosocial therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose approach resonates with you. Once you've found a match, you can book your first session directly online. Many therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to connect first.
