Start your search

Person-centered therapy, also known as client-centered therapy, is an approach that trusts in your inherent capacity for growth and self-understanding. Rather than directing the session or interpreting your experiences, person-centered therapists create a warm, accepting environment where you can explore your feelings and find your own path forward. The relationship itself is seen as the primary vehicle for change.

On First Session, you can browse therapists who take a person-centered approach and watch their intro videos to get a sense of their warmth and style. 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.

About First Session
What is person-centered therapy?

Person-centered therapy is an approach developed by Carl Rogers that emphasizes three core conditions: empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. Your therapist provides a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. The belief is that given the right conditions, you have the inner resources to understand yourself and resolve your own difficulties.

How can person-centered therapy help?

Many people find person-centered therapy helpful for building self-esteem, processing difficult emotions, and gaining clarity about their lives. It can support you in feeling truly heard and accepted, which for many is a powerful healing experience. This approach is useful for a wide range of concerns and is particularly valued for creating a safe, non-directive space.

What happens in a person-centered session?

In person-centered sessions, you take the lead. Your therapist listens deeply, reflects back what they hear, and offers genuine empathy without judgment. There's no set agenda or homework—instead, the focus is on creating space for you to explore whatever feels most important. Your therapist trusts that you know yourself best and supports your own process of discovery.

How do I find a person-centered therapist?

On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who take a person-centered approach. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their warmth. 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 person-centered therapy right for me?

Person-centered therapy may be a good fit if you want a therapist who listens without judgment and trusts you to find your own answers. It's helpful if you value a warm, collaborative relationship and prefer not to be given advice or directives. Consider booking a consultation with a therapist to see if this approach feels right for you.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Browse person-centered therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose warmth 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.
