About My Therapy Connection™

Our experienced therapists are here for you, no matter your emotional or situational challenges. We work with you to find a therapist that fits your needs — so you feel safe and comfortable as you heal.

You deserve a therapist that gets you.

At My Therapy Connection™, we believe that therapist-client fit is an essential part of the counseling process. Our diverse group of therapists have specific specialties, experiences, and backgrounds so you can find the right clinician for you.

We encourage you to explore the bios of our clinicians. Additionally, we will talk with you about your needs, your communication style, therapy expectations, and any past experiences to help match you with a therapist that fits you.

Our guarantee is that if you feel the assigned therapist is not a good fit for you, and you would like to try a different therapist, you can meet with a different therapist for your next session at no cost to you.
