Guest Bio:

Ryan Schwartz believes that therapists can heal our world, but only if they feel supported, connected, and able to thrive. That’s why he created a modern therapist directory that helps therapists grow their practice with the clients they love to work with. Prior to founding Mental Health Match, he was a communications strategist who used words and stories to bring people together and create social change. Ryan is also a co-founder of TherapistsDAO, a therapist community building the first large-scale clinic completely owned, governed, and designed by therapists. Ryan and his husband live in Portland, Oregon.

Mental Health Match is a therapist directory that knows the therapeutic relationship starts with your online presence - before a client even contacts you. Their smart matching technology makes sure you hear from only the clients who are a fit for your practice. And referrals come with insightful information about the client, their presenting issues, and what they seek in a therapist. With over 50,000 clients coming every month, Mental Health Match is a great way to find the therapists you want. That's why a recent survey by VeryWellMind found that 91% of therapists would recommend Mental Health Match to their colleagues. And now, you can try Mental Health Match for free for 90 days - just use referral code PPPro when you sign up.
