Quarterly Update: Q3 2025

We're thrilled to share what's been happening at Theralist this quarter. From significant growth milestones to powerful new features that make finding the right therapist easier than ever, Q3 has been transformative for our platform and the mental health community we serve.

Steady Growth: 700+ Active Therapists and Counting

We're proud to announce that Theralist now connects Canadians with over 700 active therapists across the country. This milestone represents more than just numbers—it means more options, more specialities, and more opportunities for Canadians to find their ideal therapeutic match.

Our growing network spans all provinces and territories, offering diverse expertise in areas ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma, relationships, and personal growth. Whether you're in a major urban centre or a smaller community, our expanding directory increases your chances of finding qualified mental health support nearby.

This growth reflects the trust that mental health professionals place in Theralist as a platform to connect with clients, and the confidence that Canadians have in using our directory to find quality care. We're especially grateful to the therapists who have added our badge and backlink to their websites—you're helping more Canadians discover Theralist and find the support they need.

A note to our therapist community: The more therapists who display the Theralist badge on their websites, the faster we can grow our visibility and reach. This creates a powerful network effect—more visibility means more people discovering our directory, which means more potential client referrals for everyone. If you haven't added the badge to your website yet, we encourage you to do so. Together, we can make quality mental health care more discoverable for all Canadians.

New Features: Making Therapy More Accessible and Personalised

This quarter brought three major feature launches that transform how Canadians search for mental health support.

Therapeutic Modalities

One of our most requested features is now live. Therapists can showcase the specific therapeutic modalities they practise, and clients can filter their search accordingly.

For clients: No more guessing games about whether a therapist offers the specific approach you're seeking. Whether you're looking for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), or any other evidence-based approach, you can now find it instantly.

For therapists: Better visibility for your specialised training and expertise. Connect with clients who are actively seeking your particular therapeutic approach, leading to better fits and more successful therapeutic relationships.

Popular modalities now searchable on our platform include CBT, EMDR, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, somatic approaches, art and play therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and many more.

Sliding Scale Pricing Filter

We know that cost remains one of the biggest barriers to accessing mental health care in Canada. Our new sliding scale pricing filter makes it easier than ever to find therapists who offer flexible, income-based rates.

Sliding scale pricing allows therapists to adjust their fees based on a client's financial situation. Instead of a fixed rate, clients pay what they can afford within a specified range. This approach recognises that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care, regardless of their financial circumstances.

With this filter, you can immediately identify therapists offering flexible pricing, save time by not having to contact multiple providers about rates, and access therapy that might otherwise feel financially out of reach.

Guest Blogging Platform

Knowledge sharing is at the heart of what we do. This quarter, we launched our guest blogging platform, inviting mental health professionals, researchers, and advocates to contribute their expertise to our growing library of resources.

The platform allows us to provide diverse perspectives on mental health topics, share evidence-based insights from professionals across various specialities, and build a collaborative community around mental health education. We're actively welcoming contributions from qualified mental health professionals on topics like therapeutic techniques, mental health conditions and treatment, self-care strategies, professional development, and latest research.

If you're a mental health professional interested in contributing to our blog, we'd love to hear from you.

Looking Ahead: Our Commitment to You

These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to making quality mental health care more accessible, transparent, and personalised for all Canadians. As we move into the final quarter of 2025, we're continuing to listen to feedback from both therapists and clients to identify new ways we can improve the therapy search experience.

We're excited about what's coming next and remain dedicated to breaking down barriers to mental health care across Canada. Whether it's through expanding our network, introducing innovative features, or providing valuable educational resources, every decision we make is guided by one goal: helping Canadians find the right therapeutic support when they need it most.

Thank you to our growing community of therapists who trust Theralist to help them connect with clients, and to everyone using our platform to take important steps towards better mental health. Your trust and feedback drive everything we do.
