Esketchers helped with the development of an intelligent platform to streamline access to mental health care across the United States. The platform matches individuals with licensed therapists based on personalized criteria such as mental health needs, budget, identity preferences, therapeutic approach, and geographic location, including state and neighborhood-level filtering. By guiding users through a simple questionnaire, it recommends the most compatible therapists, simplifying what is often a complex and overwhelming process.

Problem
Finding the right therapist is one of the biggest barriers to mental health care. Endless directories leave people overwhelmed and unsure of whom to trust or whether a therapist fits their needs. This often leads to delays, mismatches, or people giving up. There was a clear need for a guided, user-friendly solution that matches individuals with therapists based on personal, clinical, financial, and location-based compatibility, including filters by state and neighborhood.
Solution
We designed and developed Mental Health Match as a scalable web platform that simplifies therapist discovery through intelligent matching, guided onboarding, and personalized filtering. The platform connects individuals with the right therapists based on their needs, preferences, budget, and location — while giving therapists a unified system to manage profiles, leads, and client communication.
