Every story here is from an actual Ablooma user — patients who found their therapist and therapists who found their ideal clients.
"I'd been in a cycle of Googling therapists, reading bios, calling offices, and getting voicemails for six months. I almost gave up. Ablooma matched me with Dr. Reyes on day one. Her intro video made me cry — she talked about transitions and self-doubt like she'd been reading my journal. Our intro call confirmed it. I've been seeing her weekly for four months now and it's been life-changing."
"After my daughter was born, I knew I needed help but had no energy to search. A friend sent me Ablooma. I filled out the quiz at 2 AM while breastfeeding. By morning I had three matches — all specializing in postpartum, all taking my insurance, all with evening availability. I watched the intro videos, felt an immediate connection with Dr. Chen, and booked a call that same day."
"I was on BetterHelp for a year and it was fine, but just fine. The therapist was assigned to me — there was no choice, no chemistry check. When I found Ablooma, the difference was obvious. The questionnaire asked things BetterHelp never did: what communication style do I prefer? Am I looking for someone who challenges me or someone who validates first? Those details are what made the match actually work."
"As a clinician, I joined Ablooma because I was tired of getting clients who weren't a good fit from other platforms. The mismatch wastes everyone's time and emotional energy. With Ablooma, clients show up to the intro call already knowing my approach, having watched my video, and having been matched on real clinical criteria. My conversion rate from intro call to ongoing client went from 40% to over 80%."
"Finding a therapist who is genuinely LGBTQ+ affirming — not just a checkbox on a website — is harder than people think. Ablooma's questionnaire let me specify that this was important and matched me with someone whose video radiated genuine understanding. The quiz knew to ask about cultural competency, not just 'do you accept LGBTQ+ clients.' That nuance matters."
"The clients who come through Ablooma are different. They've already invested 3 minutes really thinking about what they need. They've watched my video, so they know my style going in. The intro call is a real conversation, not me selling myself. And because the matching is good, my no-show rate for Ablooma clients is under 5% — compared to 20%+ from other referral sources."
