It takes about 15 minutes, and your answers are kept only while this page is open — so plan to finish in one sitting. We read every application ourselves.

Free during beta. After beta, the subscription is $100/month. Founding rate: the first 30 therapists we approve pay $60/month for as long as their subscription continues without a break. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice before any charge begins, and nothing is charged unless you actively agree.
Heads up: Each question tells you whether your answer appears on your public directory profile. Your contact details, licence number and mailing address are never shown publicly.
Counseling Bridge is currently only accepting Oklahoma-licensed therapists.
We may use this to verify your license
Optional. Any states outside Oklahoma where you hold a license or compact privilege. The Acceptable Use Policy asks you to reflect your states of authorization accurately. Informational only — Counseling Bridge matches Oklahoma patients only.
Many patients request a specific gender therapist for clinical reasons. This is required to enable accurate matching.
