# Aligned.Help

> A therapist-matching platform that helps people find providers who genuinely fit their needs — not just whoever is available.

Aligned.Help exists because the wrong therapist fit wastes time and hope. The platform lets users answer a short set of questions about their needs, preferences, and logistics, then surfaces licensed providers in their area who are more likely to be a real match — based on specialization, therapeutic approach, availability, and meeting format. The goal is fewer dead ends and a clearer path to starting care.

## How It Works

1. Answer a short series of questions about what you need in a therapist: concerns, modality preferences, meeting format (in-person or telehealth), availability, and location.
2. The platform surfaces providers in your area who align with your criteria — presented in ranked tiers (best 5, next 10, next 20) so you have momentum without being overwhelmed.
3. Review profiles and contact a provider directly to schedule. You control when and whether to share your contact information.
