First Session

First Session is a therapist directory and matching platform that helps you filter for providers who accept your insurance. The platform displays insurance acceptance information for each therapist, and you can request free consultations before committing to a course of treatment, making it easier to find someone who's actually in-network rather than discovering it after booking.

First Session works well if you want a straightforward way to search for therapists by insurance acceptance and availability in your area. The free consultation feature removes the friction of calling multiple offices to verify insurance, and the platform aggregates many independent and group practices in one place, giving you more options than a single practice or insurance company's referral line would.
