How It Works

From overwhelmed to
matched in minutes

Finding a therapist used to mean hours of Googling, cold-calling offices, and hoping for the best. Ablooma replaces all of that with a guided process designed by the people who understand therapy best — therapists themselves.

📝
STEP 01

Take the Questionnaire

21 questions. 3 minutes. Built by therapists.

Our questionnaire was co-designed with a clinical advisory board of practicing therapists. It goes beyond surface-level preferences to understand the nuance of what you actually need — your presenting concerns, severity, therapy history, communication style preferences, logistical needs, and gut-level feelings about what a good fit looks like.

6 sections covering: what brings you here, how you're feeling, therapy history, preferences, logistics, and gut check
Crisis detection built in — if you're in immediate danger, we route you to 988 before anything else
Your raw answers are never shared with therapists. They see a curated match profile.
You can retake the questionnaire anytime your needs change

STEP 02

Browse Your Matches

Fit scores, video intros, and zero guesswork.

Our matching algorithm weighs your responses against every therapist's profile across dozens of dimensions — specialties, modalities, insurance panels, availability, communication style, cultural competencies, and more. Each match comes with a percentage fit score so you know exactly why they were recommended.

Watch 60-second intro videos from each therapist — hear their voice, see their warmth
See insurance compatibility, session rates, sliding scale availability upfront
Compare modalities (CBT, EMDR, psychodynamic, etc.) at a glance
Save therapists to your shortlist with a single tap

STEP 03

Book a Free Intro Call

15 minutes. Video or phone. No strings attached.

Every matched therapist offers a free 15-minute intro call through Ablooma. Think of it like a first date — you're checking the vibe, asking questions, and deciding if this is someone you'd trust with your inner world. There's no diagnosis, no homework, and absolutely no obligation to continue.

Choose from available time slots directly on the therapist's calendar
Get reminders leading up to the call so you don't miss it
After the call, tell us how it went — your feedback improves future matches
If they're not the right fit, go back to your matches and try someone else. No judgment.
