About Therapy Fit
Therapy Fit is a simple tool that helps you understand different therapy approaches and narrow your search for providers who may match the therapy style that works best for you.
How to use Therapy Fit
Get a short list of therapy styles that may fit how you learn, cope, and change.
Usually takes ~2–4 minutes.
Compare what sessions look like — more structured vs. more open, tools vs. depth, body-based vs. talk-based.
Bring a few consult questions so you can check fit quickly and avoid guessing.
What Therapy Fit is
Therapy Fit was built to solve a common problem: most people are asked to choose a therapist before they understand how therapy actually works.
Instead of starting with long directories or trial-and-error appointments, Therapy Fit helps you:
- Learn how different therapy modalities work (not just what they’re called)
- Get insight into how you tend to process information, emotions, and change
- See which therapy approaches may align with your preferences and goals
- Find providers who practice those approaches
- Access educational guides, common therapy questions, and community resources for when therapy alone isn’t enough
The goal is not to tell you what you should do — it’s to help you make a more informed starting choice.
About the quiz
The Therapy Fit quiz is designed to identify patterns in how you tend to think, feel, learn, and respond to stress — not to diagnose you or label you.
The questions draw from established research and frameworks in psychology and psychotherapy, including:
- Learning style and information-processing research
- Emotion regulation and stress-response models
- Trauma-informed and somatic frameworks
- Cognitive, behavioral, experiential, and body-based therapy theory
- Clinical research on treatment engagement and therapy fit
Rather than asking about symptoms alone, the quiz focuses on:
- How you prefer to work through problems (structured tools vs. exploration, body-based vs. cognitive)
- What helps you feel safe, engaged, and motivated in learning or change
- How you tend to respond under stress or overwhelm
- Your openness to different therapeutic formats (talk-based, experiential, creative, skills-focused)
Your results don’t define you — they offer a starting lens. Many people discover that therapy hasn’t helped in the past simply because the approach didn’t match how they learn or process.
Therapy Fit helps surface those mismatches earlier, so your next step can be more intentional.
What Therapy Fit is not
Therapy Fit is an educational tool. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.
It does not replace working with a licensed mental health professional, and it does not determine what therapy you must pursue.
Think of it as a guide — one that helps you ask better questions, understand your options, and approach therapy with more clarity.
Therapy Fit is educational only and does not provide medical advice. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
