Home/How It Works

Getting matched is simple.

ViaPsych handles the search so you can focus on getting the support you need. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you reach out to the moment you connect with your psychologist.

1
Submit your requestTakes about 5 minutes
Step 01

Tell us what you need

Fill out our matching form to share what you are looking for. We ask about the type of service you need, your location, any preferences around virtual or in-person services, and your availability.

No referral letter is required. No GP visit needed first. You can submit your request directly at any time.

Submitting your request is free. You are not charged anything at this stage. Payment only happens after we find your match and you decide to proceed.

2
We review your requestOur team gets to work
Step 02

We coordinate your match

Our team reviews your request and identifies licensed psychologists from our network whose services align with what you’re looking for, based on your preferences, location, service type, and availability.

All psychologists in our network are registered and licensed professionals. They operate independently and are responsible for their own clinical services. We may contact one or more providers to confirm availability and facilitate a timely connection.

Matching is based on the information you provide and provider availability. ViaPsych coordinates the connection process, while all clinical decisions and care remain between you and the psychologist.

3
Review your matchYou decide whether to proceed
Step 03

We share match details

Once we’ve identified potential matches, we share each psychologist’s credentials, training, availability, and fee range with you before anything is confirmed. You have the opportunity to review this information and decide whether you would like to proceed.

If you choose to move forward, you pay the ViaPsych coordination fee at this point. If you decide not to proceed, you owe nothing.

The coordination fee is $200 for consultations and $300 for assessments. It is non-refundable once you confirm your match and is not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

4
Your psychologist connectsDirectly with you
Step 04

Your psychologist reaches out

After you confirm your match and payment is received, your psychologist contacts you directly to schedule your appointment. From this point forward, your care is entirely between you and your psychologist.

ViaPsych’s role as a coordination platform ends at the point of connection. All clinical services are provided independently by your psychologist.

Your psychologist sets their own clinical fees and collects payment directly from you. ViaPsych is not involved in billing or clinical care.
