About Us
At Find A Therapist, our mission is simple: to help you find the support you need.
Whether you’re looking for a cognitive-behavioral therapist, a relationship counselor, or a psychologist, our goal is to connect you with the right professional who can provide the guidance and help you deserve.
Founded in 1996, Find A Therapist has evolved over the years to become a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking mental health support.
What began as a directory of in-person therapists has transformed into a platform dedicated to educating people about different types of therapy and making it easier to find a counselor who fits their needs.
At Find A Therapist, we believe that finding the right therapist is about more than just credentials—it’s about connection. That’s why we focus on two key principles:
Finding a qualified therapist: We help you connect with professionals who have the expertise, training, and experience to address your unique challenges and improve your mental well-being.
Finding an accessible therapist: Therapy should be convenient and comfortable. Whether that means finding a therapist who speaks your language, understands your cultural background, or offers online sessions, accessibility is key to making therapy effective.
Founder's Story
Find A Therapist was founded by Tauras Sinkus, someone who knows firsthand the power of therapy. Having struggled with childhood traumas and relationship challenges, Tauras found profound healing and personal growth through therapy. The experience was so transformative that he couldn’t stop recommending therapy to friends and family.
“I believe therapy is something everyone should experience,” says Tauras. “It helped me understand myself, work through past pain, and build stronger relationships. If I could, I’d tell everyone I meet to go to therapy.”
This personal journey fueled his passion to make therapy more accessible to others, leading to the creation of Find A Therapist. His vision was to build a platform that removes obstacles to finding professional mental health support, making it easier for people to get the help they need.
