Find the right clinician through a trusted referral

Referral Gardenis a network where licensed mental-health clinicians refer patients to each other. When you submit a request, clinicians in the network see what you're looking for — and the ones who can actually take new clients respond directly.

How it works

  1. 1. Describe what you're looking for. The type of concern, therapy format (in-person or virtual), your state, what you can pay — including a per-session budget cap if you have one — and any provider preferences.
  2. 2. Get a private link. Bookmark it. We never ask for your name, email, or phone number — the private link is the only way to see your responses, so save it.
  3. 3. Clinicians respond to you. Providers with availability appear on your private page with their practice contact details. You reach out to the ones that feel right — mention your request when you do.

Your privacy, by design

  • No account, no name, no contact information — ever.
  • Your request describes what you need, not who you are; the form actively blocks identifying details.
  • Only clinicians who choose to respond share their contact info — with you, on your private page.
