Vetted trauma therapists, matched free
Find a trauma therapist.Get matched with someone safe to tell.
Chat with Abby. You don’t have to retell everything. She learns how it shows up now and matches you with a vetted trauma therapist who fits. No directories, no filters, no intake forms.
Your match is ready. Her name is Dani, and I think you’ll see why I picked her.
How matching works
Your conversations become your match.
Everything you tell Abby, how it shows up now, what feels safe, when you’re available, becomes the search. You never fill out a form.
Why her: Dani works with trauma every day, is trained in EMDR, and never asks you to start with the worst part. Evening video openings this week.

Watch Abby match.
A directory shows you five hundred strangers. Abby starts from your story. She maps how the past shows up in your present, what feels safe to you, and the practical stuff like schedule and budget, then searches the network and beyond for the trauma therapists who fit all of it.
You get a shortlist of real fits, with the reason behind each one. Not five hundred profiles.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does Abby match me with a trauma therapist?
You chat with Abby, sharing as much or as little as you want. She learns how the past shows up in your present, what feels safe, and the practical things like schedule and budget. Then she searches the network and beyond, then brings you a shortlist of trauma therapists with the reason each one fits.
Do I have to talk about what happened?
Not before you’re ready, and with some methods, not in detail at all. EMDR and somatic approaches can process trauma without a full retelling. A good trauma therapist builds safety first and follows your pace.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It uses guided eye movements while you hold a memory lightly in mind, which helps the brain refile it so it stops firing like a live wire. It’s one of the best-researched treatments for PTSD.
Do I need a PTSD diagnosis to see a trauma therapist?
No. Most people who benefit from trauma therapy never had a formal diagnosis. If something from the past is shaping your sleep, your body, or your relationships, that’s reason enough to start.
How long does trauma therapy take?
EMDR for a single-incident trauma can move in a handful of sessions. Longer or repeated trauma takes longer because safety comes first. An honest therapist will give you a realistic map after the first session or two.
Can I use my insurance?
Tell Abby you want to use insurance and she factors it into the match, along with budget, sliding scale, or self-pay if that’s simpler. You’ll know how a therapist handles payment before you ever book.
Does my therapist see my conversations with Abby?
No. Nothing is shared unless you approve it word for word. If you want, Abby can prepare a short intro so you don’t start from zero, and you review every word before it’s sent.
The right trauma therapist is easy to find
when someone knows your story.
Gently, at your pace. Your match is one message away.
