First Session

I absolutely love this platform! I never though finding a therapist was so easy. There are so many different kinds of therapists out there and I’m so happy I found this platform that helped me narrow down on the therapist that can help me based on my needs.

I had my consultation yesterday with Amy O’Coin. She was very kind and answered all of my questions. I am really looking forward to our first session! In regards to the website, I love the fact you can go through each profile and watch a brief video of the counsellor to have a better feel for who you think would be the best match. I had heard about First Session through a family member. I am so glad she recommended me to them. I am excited to see where this journey takes me!

Booked my 'first session' using the first session yesterday. Couldn't be more excited to start my journey and I am eternally grateful for the transparency this platform provided me in my selection process. I personally had a terrible experience with a recommended mental health professional years ago and was turned off by the whole process. I am excited that I got to get a feel for my therapist before I booked in a session. Thank you First Session.

This platform is an incredible resource for individuals (and now companies!) looking to be supported with mental health.After using Psychology Today to email therapists for months without finding a great fit, I was able to use First Session to find my therapist for the past two years within 24 hours.The ability to get a sense of my therapist from a video gave me the confidence to reach out knowing we could be a good fit and that they had availability to see me.First Session eliminated a lot of the friction associated with finding a therapist when I was at a low point and I’m so grateful that this website was able to do that for me.

I loved being able to watch videos of each therapist before booking as well as having their pricing and specifications/modalities all in one place. I found my latest therapist through First Session and have been recommending to friends and family.

For me, booking and finding a therapist is a chore. In general, the idea of it makes me want to just procrastinate and not do it... Reading profiles, calling in for consultations - not for me.The First Session platform made this experience a lot quicker and painless. You put in your filters for what you're looking for, watch a few videos, and boom - you've narrowed your search down in a couple minutes. I made my decision for my therapist so quick I was a little worried I didn't do my due diligence - but it's worked out great. Seems like the folks at First Session have dialed things in to make it that easy. I'm all in!

First session is a great platform to find support that suits you. It was recommended to me by a friend and I will also recommend to those in search of support.

First Session made it very easy to find someone to talk to, I was already hesitant and having a hard time beginning the process but this site made it seamless

I would absolutely recommend that anyone looking for a therapist try First Session! Especially those who may be hesitant to start out with therapy for the first time or to return to it. I've struggled many times in the past to find therapists that I connect with, but was very lucky to find a wonderful one through First Session.Having short videos of the therapists sharing a little bit about themselves and their approaches is such a simple concept but made an absolute world of difference. As soon as I saw my therapist's video, I knew that I would feel good speaking with her and I was right. It's so helpful to see someone's vibe (for lack of a better word) and be able to try and imagine yourself sharing with them. The platform itself is also very user-friendly.

Great service provided by First Session! The platform is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I LOVE the video bios of each therapist, so you can browse and find a therapist who you really vibe with before booking an appointment. Each therapist's rates, specialities, and designations are also prominent, and you can filter by each to find the right person for you. 11/10 recommend.
