Helping Every Therapy Seeker Find the Right Fit
Compatibility is the most important factor when choosing a counsellor. But finding the right fit isn’t easy. First Session takes the time, guesswork, and emotional labour out of that process.
Search a curated therapist network
Narrow your search to a list of rigorously vetted therapists you’ll actually consider booking. Because finding a therapist shouldn’t involve reading endless generic bios.
Assess for fit before you commit
Decide if a therapist is the right fit for you before booking with interview videos and in-depth bios. No more switching or re-telling your private feelings and story
Book directly (and instantly)
Schedule an available session or free consultation right from the First Session platform. No 3rd party intake calls or back and forth emailing required.
Find a therapist that fits your needs
You deserve more from therapy.
You made the courageous decision to reach your full potential. Find the right therapist to help get you there, and make the most of the time and money you’re investing in yourself.
