Better with people.
Better with Alma.

There's no replacement for human connection.

It’s easy to spend hours browsing online forums, scrolling social media, and reading expert “advice” if you’re looking for support with your mental health.

But while these resources can be a good starting point, there’s no substitute for a licensed therapist who can listen, understand, and support you through your specific challenges.

Better with people. Better with Alma.

80% of people with symptoms of anxiety or depression see improvement within 6 months of seeing an Alma therapist, and 97% of people seeing a therapist through Alma said that their therapist makes them feel seen and heard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will Alma help me find a therapist?

When you browse our directory, you can filter by the qualities that are important to you — including areas of concern like anxiety, relationships, or big life transitions. You can also specify preferences for gender, age, race, and more.

Once you’ve narrowed down your search, we encourage you to schedule free consultations with the therapists you’re interested in. These short conversations are opportunities to get a feel for whether they’re a good fit.

You may not click with the first person you meet, and that’s okay! Scheduling multiple consultations to weigh your options can help you make a decision you feel good about.

Do I need to make an account to find a therapist?

No. You can browse our directory without providing any personal information, and you can book consultations with no upfront costs or commitment.

Can I use my insurance for sessions with Alma?

Yes! Affordability is important to us, and 95% of therapists at Alma accept insurance. When you browse the directory, select your insurance provider from the drop-down menu to see therapists who offer in-network care.

I’m a clinician. How can Alma benefit my practice?

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is private practice support. We’re here to help you build and manage your caseload with:

  • Our directory designed to connect you with clients looking for your unique background and experience
  • Time-saving administrative tools
  • Insurance made easy, for you and your clients
  • A supportive community of your peers
