Welcome to Agora Mental Health Network®

Finally, a transparent marketplace where you can find and get to know the mental health professional who's right for you!\\r\\n

 

 

You finally decided to get help. Now you have to find a therapist. That's the easy part. Choosing the right therapist --someone who truly understands your situation and who you'll actually connect with--is a lot harder.

 

Until recently, most people ended up picking from a provider list that told them almost nothing, or taking a referral from someone who knew only one or two names. That's not a choice. That's a prayer.

 

What you actually need to know to feel confident in your choice is pretty simple. 

  • Does this person have the real expertise to help me with my issues?
  • Will we really connect and work well together?
  • Can I make this work financially and afford the best person to help me? 

As mental health professionals, we believe you deserve enough information to answer those questions before you ever make an appointment. So we built a platform for therapists to showcase their skills and personality, and so that you'd have everything you need to make a highly personal choice.

 

Profiles that go deeper. Video interviews where therapists discuss their practices, specialities, and approach help you to really get to know them. When you're ready, you can compare your top choices side by side on the factors that matter the most to you

 

Our mission is to help you make that highly personal choice, because

the right choice for you is the one you make for yourself.
