For therapists

Meet clients who
already fit.

Kindred matches clients to you by style, communication, and what helps them feel understood — not by who's at the top of an alphabetical list. You show up for the people you work best with, and they arrive already knowing why you fit.

One flat membership. No per-client fees. No paying for placement — ever.

Billed on the web. Cancel anytime.

You may be a fit if…

"You look fine on paper but feel exhausted from being the strong one."

Your profile leads with how you work — not just the letters after your name.

Matched by fit. Never by fee.

Every matchable therapist on Kindred is matched by compatibility alone. There is no premium placement, no boosted ranking, no bidding for visibility — not for you, not for anyone. Your membership buys access to the matching pool. The algorithm can't be tipped.

How Kindred works for you

1

Build a profile that sounds like you

Your style, your specialties, and prompts in your own words — "My therapy style is…", "You may be a fit if…". Clients read the person, not just the credentials.

2

Become matchable

One flat membership turns matching on. Kindred's filters — license, format, insurance, budget, needs — bring you clients you're actually right for.

3

Meet clients ready to start

Match requests arrive with a brief intake note — what brings them to therapy, in their words. Message, offer intro calls, and grow a caseload that fits.

4

Keep every dollar you earn

Kindred never takes a cut of your sessions. Clients pay you directly, however you already bill. Your membership is the whole cost.

Founding member pricing.

Kindred is opening to its first 200 therapists — the ones who help build the matching pool get the best deal we'll ever offer.

We'll only use this to set up your Kindred profile. No spam, and you're never charged without setting up billing yourself.

Questions therapists ask us

Do I pay per client or per match?

No. The membership is flat — monthly or annual — no matter how many clients find you. Kindred never touches your session fees; clients pay you directly, however you already bill.

Can I pay to show up more often?

No — and that's a feature. Matching is a compatibility filter, not an auction. Clients trust their matches because no one can buy a better position, which makes every match you receive worth more.

What if my caseload fills up?

Flip "accepting new clients" off and you stop appearing in new matches while keeping your profile, conversations, and history. Flip it back on when a spot opens. Pause or cancel the membership anytime.

Who can join?

Licensed therapists and counselors (LMFT, LCSW, LPC, PhD/PsyD, and equivalents) in good standing. License details are part of your profile and shown to clients.

Where do I manage billing?

Right here on the web, in your portal — subscribe, switch between monthly and annual, or cancel in two clicks. The mobile app is for your matches and messages; your account works everywhere you sign in.
