Help Finding a Therapist
Designed by a social worker, HelpPRO grew out of a strong conviction that people who are feeling anxious and vulnerable deserve a swift, responsive way to find the best mental health professional for their needs. Having to rely on advertisements, out-of-date telephone directories or insurance company referrals can only add to this anxiety.

• Is located near you.
• Focuses on your age-group.
• Takes your insurance.
