It’s a huge deal to me as a black woman to have a therapist who looks like me, and culturally understands family dynamics amongst other things in the black community. SonderMind won my vote by giving me access to what is scarcely available where I live.

- Texas Client

Easily scheduled online and found a licensed therapist that could see my son the next week. He had his first meeting and felt very comfortable with the person he was matched with

- Colorado Client

Everything has been great; I really love how the application provides a one stop shop where everything is tracked in one area, which makes it nice to help organize a person's mental health journey.

How do I know if psychiatry is right for me?

Everyone is different. That’s why we don’t approach your care as a one-size-fits-all solution. If you're uncertain about what type of care is right for you, your doctor or general practitioner can help you decide if working with a psychiatric provider or therapist is the best solution for your mental health needs.
