Finding a Therapist (General)
Psychology Today maintains a therapist directory across many countries: www.psychologytoday.com
BetterHelp and Talkspace offer online therapy accessible globally.
Your GP or primary care physician can refer you to local mental health services in most countries with public healthcare systems. This is often the most accessible and affordable entry point.
A Note on the Assessment
If your AssessState scores are in the severe range (7+) across multiple dimensions, we specifically encourage you to use the resources above or the therapist-shareable summary from our premium toolkit to access professional support.
Self-assessment tools are starting points, not endpoints. If you need more support than this tool can provide, please reach out.
