I Can’t Find a Therapist, What Now?

It can take awhile for someone who is struggling with a mental or behavioral health issue to come to terms with the fact that they require help from a professional. But when they do decide that it’s time, a weight is instantly lifted as recognizing the need is a huge step towards to optimal wellness. However, can you imagine what it feels like to want help, but not be able to find it? Of course you do, because you have just typed “I can’t find a therapist” into your online search browser.

You’re not alone in this frustration, as thousands of Americans share your experience. Whether or not it’s an indictment on the healthcare system is beside the point, as anger will only make matters worse. The good news, is that you’ve arrived here at Kindbridge Behavioral Health. Below is a summary of why you may not have been able to find a therapist and how our platform empowers you with immediate access.

Reasons Why You Might Not be Able to Find a Therapist and How Kindbridge Will Help


Can’t Find a Therapist Near You

Is geography the problem? In many U.S. states, access to mental health professionals is very limited. For instance, in Tennessee, 46% of residents are without access, while in Mississippi and alarming 80% of all residents live in a community that does not have adequate access to mental health professionals. These numbers vary significantly by state, but the percentages are reported (by the National Alliance on Mental Illness) in double digits for nearly all of them. It’s an unacceptable truth that Kindbridge is here to change.

Kindbridge has introduced a virtual therapy platform that is accessible to populations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and American residents of Puerto Rico. You are able to attend sessions online or via phone. Better yet, you are able to do so at a day and time that is convenient for YOU. Simply put, you will not be turned away due to geographic or scheduling constraints.

Can’t Find a Therapist for Your Specific Concern

You may have been able to identify therapists in your region and/or online services like BetterHelp, but have been frustrated by a lack of specialization in the issue or disorder that you struggle with. This may make you uncomfortable, especially if you perceive your struggle to be somewhat embarrassing or taboo. Further, you may not have faith that a general mental health practitioner will have the requisite knowledge, skills, and experience to treat issues of such nature. These are all valid concerns.

Kindbridge on the other hand, has curated a team of highly-specialized therapists to provide for the distinct and nuanced issues faced by many Americans. In addition to specialization in the treatment of chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and anger, we have therapists on staff who are explicitly trained and dedicated to the treatment of hypersexuality disorders (i.e. problematic sexual behavior and compulsive porn use) in addition to gaming disorder and problem gambling. Have a look at this recent outcomes report for the latter (gambling disorder) which shows the efficacy of our platform.

Can’t Find a Therapist You’re Comfortable With

People have their reasons for preferring a therapist who “looks like them”. We’re not here to dispute whether or not it’s a rational decision making criteria. In fact, if it’s valid to you, it’s valid. For instance, the gender and/or ethnicity of a therapist may matter in cases involving trauma related to gender/ethnicity, abuse, or other complex scenarios experienced in American society. Whatever the reasoning may be, finding a therapist you feel comfortable with may have been an obstacle thus far.

Once again, Kindbridge can help. We pride ourselves not only in therapeutic specialization (as per above) but diversity of counseling staff. Use this link to find a therapist or simply email [email protected] or call 1 877-426-4258 to anonymously express preferences regarding age, ethnicity, and/or gender. Our care coordinator will find a match you’re most comfortable with so that you can get started in therapy today.

Can’t Find a Therapist You Can Afford

A large part of the accessibility problem referenced above spans beyond geography. In many cases finances, or perceived finances, are a constraint. Kindbridge alleviates this concern for many as well.

A significant portion of the cost (60 to 80% in some cases) of virtual therapy may be reimbursable under a variety of insurance plans. A list of insurance providers that may cover your sessions through Kindbridge Behavioral Health can be found here.
