How Our Therapist Matching Process Works
Three simple steps to a therapist who actually gets you.
Tell us what you're looking for
Three minutes. Ten questions. What you're dealing with, what you've tried, what matters in a therapist.
Get matched in under a minute
Our algorithm weighs specialty fit, modality, logistics, and your preferences. You get 2–3 therapists who actually fit — not a list of 50 to sort through.
Book a free consult
Most therapists offer a free 15–20 minute consult. Reach out to whoever resonates. Right fit is something you can usually feel quickly.
Why Therapist Fit Matters
Research shows the therapeutic relationship is the single strongest predictor of positive outcomes — more than technique, credentials, or years of experience.
A strong therapist-client bond accounts for up to 30% of therapy outcomes.
Clients who feel understood are 3× more likely to stay in treatment.
Most people who quit therapy cite poor fit — not poor therapy.
That's why we don't just match you with whoever's available. We match you with someone whose approach, personality, and expertise align with your needs.
Who We Help
Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or trying again after a bad experience, we're here to make it easier.
You've done some research and know roughly what you need
You're looking for a specialty: EMDR, IFS, ADHD, couples, perimenopause
You've tried therapy before and it didn't click
Psychology Today feels overwhelming and BetterHelp feels generic
Milwaukee Metro
Find a therapist by specialty.
Eight specialties. Every therapist personally vetted by a licensed clinician. Pick what fits — we'll handle the rest.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is one of the most-researched trauma treatments out there — and also one of the most-misunderstood.
Learn moreInternal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Most of us have a part that wants to grow and a part that's terrified of changing — and they're both right.
Learn moreAdult ADHD Therapy
If your diagnosis came in your 30s, 40s, or later — or you're still untangling whether it fits — you don't need a generalist who'll suggest a planner.
Learn moreCouples Therapy
Here's the dirty secret of the field: most therapists who advertise couples work were trained almost entirely in individual therapy.
Learn moreTrauma & PTSD Therapy
Trauma changes how your nervous system reads the world.
Learn moreAnxiety Therapy for Professionals
On the outside, you're handling it.
Learn morePerimenopause & Women's Midlife Therapy
Perimenopause isn't just hot flashes.
Learn moreTherapy for High-Performing People
When you're the one everyone else leans on — the executive, the founder, the physician, the partner, the parent — therapy has to meet you at a different altitude.
Learn moreWhat Makes Us Different
We're not another corporate therapy platform. We're a therapist-founded service built on the belief that the right match changes everything.
Curated, not crowded
Every therapist here has been personally vetted by Laurie — license, specialty training, experience. No pay-to-list. No 200 profiles to scroll through.
Specialty-first matching
Our algorithm weighs whether a therapist actually does EMDR or works with adult ADHD — not whether their bio happens to use the right keyword.
Built by a practicing therapist
Laurie Groh, LPC — owner of Shoreside Therapies — built this because watching friends bounce off generic directories was infuriating.
Transparent algorithm
No black box. Each match shows exactly how it scored: specialty fit, style, logistics. You'll see why someone made the list.
