Common Questions
How long does it take to get started?
You can create an account in under 5 minutes. For crisis support, you can connect with a provider immediately. For scheduled sessions, you can often book within 24 hours.
Do I need to be religious?
Not at all! While many of our providers have religious backgrounds, we welcome people of all beliefs and no religious affiliation. You can choose providers that match your worldview.
Is this the same as therapy?
Spiritual care focuses on meaning, purpose, and existential concerns. While some overlap exists, it's distinct from mental health therapy. Some of our providers are also licensed counselors.
Can I switch providers?
Absolutely. Finding the right match is important. You can try different providers until you find someone you connect with.
