ThoughtPath

ThoughtPath is a mental health start-up focused on matching patients with the right therapist.

Motivation

Research has shown many therapist-client relationships fail due to personality conflicts. Therapists, several times a week, unfortunately have to tell aspiring clients that they would be ineffective counselors and end up turning them down. This leads to many clients failing to receive the help they desire and therapists having lackluster work schedules. Our website seeks to solve this problem by matching aspiring patients with local therapists best suited for their needs.
