Thetsy is the platform for therapist self-determination. Publish your expertise in your own voice, sell it at a payout of up to 90%, care for clients between sessions, run programs, and get found in AI-era search. Founding members join now, get the full platform today, and help shape what we build next.
Finding a therapist has changed. Being found hasn't.
Clients increasingly find help through AI-assisted search — not directories. The mental health content they find first is written by influencers and brands. And the platforms promising to fill your caseload take a cut of the relationship along with the fee.
The directory referral cliff
Directory listings built practices for two decades. That traffic is measurably declining as search behavior moves to AI assistants and answer engines.
Discoverability, not marketing
The fix isn't posting more on social media. It's structured, credentialed clinical content that search engines and AI systems can find, trust, and surface.
Without the lock-in
Big platforms compress fees and gatekeep your client relationships. Thetsy is infrastructure for therapist self-determination — your content, your prices, your clients.
The platform
Everything a self-determined practice needs
Publish, sell, care for clients between sessions, run programs, refer with confidence, and get found — on infrastructure you own a stake in shaping. All of it is included with founding membership today.
A vetted network of licensed colleagues. Refer with confidence across specialties — and across state lines as compacts expand.
INCLUDED WITH THE PLATFORM
Your work, findable in the age of AI search
Every resource page is built to be found — free-video transcripts, chapter titles,
and structured data that search engines and AI assistants read and cite. And because
your content is yours, Thetsy blocks AI training crawlers from your pages: AI search can cite you,
but AI companies don't train on your work.
Not a solo practice anymore
Built to be less lonely
Therapy is isolating work. Thetsy is built with community at the center — for you, and for the audiences you build.
INCLUDED WITH MEMBERSHIP
Sustainable Therapist
A professional social community — not consultation, not supervision, no CE hours. Weekly virtual gatherings, interest groups, book clubs, and retreats designed for therapists to actually know each other as people. Run by our team, built into every membership.
LIVE
Therapist Communities
Turn one-time buyers into members. Host your own gated community — discussion feed, tiered access, live calls, and a searchable resource hub — with recurring membership income on top of your resource sales.
Continuing education, inside the marketplace. Therapists can offer CE-eligible courses from day one — with attendance tracking, assessments, feedback, and certificates of completion built in. Course creators attest that their content meets their accrediting body's requirements; Thetsy provides the infrastructure, not the certification.
The format
AI made information cheap. It can't make you.
Anyone can generate a worksheet in minutes now. What can't be generated is a licensed clinician explaining a concept in their own voice — your framing, your warmth, your clinical judgment.
That's why Thetsy's flagship format is the short clinical explainer video: your existing slides on screen, your face in the corner, hit record — right in your browser, on Thetsy. Captions, chapters, transcripts, trimming, and AI polish are handled for you. Free videos become your discovery layer — the content search engines surface. Paid pathways and courses become your depth layer. And people who've watched you teach arrive at therapy already trusting how you work.

Why we exist
A public benefit corporation, built by a therapist
Thetsy is structured so the mission can't be quietly optimized away. We're a Public Benefit Corporation with therapist self-determination written into our charter.
When you sell on Thetsy, you keep up to 90%. And our 10% access-fund commitment comes out of Thetsy's share — never your payout — funding mental health access for underserved communities.
"Therapists should own the conversation about mental health — not influencers, not brands, not algorithms. And they should own the income from it, too."
Carrie Beck — CEO & Founding Therapist. Licensed therapist in practice, building Thetsy from inside the profession.
90%
of every sale goes to the therapist on a paid plan
For most therapists, income looks like this: see a client, get paid. Cancel a session, lose that income. Take a vacation, watch the revenue stop.
It’s a model that’s been the norm for decades — but it’s also one that limits growth, flexibility, and sustainability. Residual income changes that. Instead of being paid only when you’re in the chair, you create offerings that keep generating income while you’re doing other things — even while you sleep.
Here’s what that can look like on Thetsy.
If you’ve ever hesitated to launch an idea because "someone else is already doing it," you’re not alone. Therapists are often taught to define their niche by topic — trauma, couples, grief, addiction — and then measure themselves against whoever seems to be doing it "best" online.
If you’ve been in the mental health field long enough, you’ve probably seen it:
- Interns working for free.
- New clinicians carrying heavy caseloads for low pay.
- The promise of “more freedom later” if you can just work your way up.
In some places, the path is clear: put in your time, climb the ladder, open your own practice, and eventually, bring on others to carry the workload — often under the same tight margins you once worked within.
It’s a cycle. And while it’s not inherently malicious, it can become a cash-cowing culture — where those at the top stay afloat by relying on the labor of those still climbing.
