About Promptd

In 2025, a therapist and a software engineer set out to raise the bar for mental health marketplaces

We looked at how people search for mental health services and thought: this could be so much better.

We bring tech to mental health so that finding the right provider feels as intuitive and personal as the experience you get on your favourite apps. Today, we represent clinics and independent mental health professionals across Montreal and its surrounding cities, in-person and online.

And we're just getting started.

What our users say

Spent close to two years trying to find a therapist. Waitlists, no callbacks, people who weren't the right fit. Ended up finding someone through Promptd in like a week.

Nadia

I run a small law firm and needed a family mediator for a case. I did not find anyone in my network so I tried Promptd and found someone pretty quickly.

Catherine

Nice to actually see prices listed upfront. Saves you from having to call around just to figure out what you can afford.

Jordan

The messaging suggested a few other therapists I could reach out to. My first pick didn't end up working out, but one of the suggestions was actually a great fit.

Samira

I'm an international student at McGill and figuring out what my insurance covers was confusing. On here I could just filter for who takes my plan.

Léo

The filters are really useful. I found someone who speaks my language, is nearby, and takes my insurance without having to dig through a bunch of websites.

Your questions, answered

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation with structured protocols to help the brain reprocess distressing memories and reduce symptoms. Treatment follows phases: history, stabilization, target selection, reprocessing, and installation. Many people notice reduced reactivity and improved function after a course of sessions. EMDR is commonly used within broader Trauma & PTSD therapists work.

Is EMDR right for me?

EMDR can help with trauma, anxiety, and grief when adequate stabilization is in place. Your clinician will assess readiness and supports. If grief or panic is central, Grief counselling counselling or Anxiety therapists counselling may be sequenced alongside preparation.

How long does EMDR take?

Course length varies with history and goals. Some targets resolve in a few sessions; complex trauma needs longer timelines with regular progress reviews.

What happens in an EMDR session?

After preparation, you briefly focus on a target memory while following bilateral cues. Arousal is monitored and adaptive processing is supported with stabilization skills before and after.

How do I start EMDR therapy?

A consult reviews goals and history, then begins stabilization and target planning with instructions for between-session practice to support comfort and integration.

Do I need an EMDR specialist to start EMDR therapy?

EMDR should be provided by someone with specific training and supervision. You can start with EMDR therapy to find trained providers. Because EMDR is often used for trauma, Trauma & PTSD therapists can help you find clinicians who focus on PTSD and related symptoms.

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation with structured protocols to help the brain reprocess distressing memories safely. Treatment proceeds in phases: history, stabilization, target selection, reprocessing, and installation, with emphasis on consent and pacing. Trauma and PTSD therapists may also provide complementary approaches, and some people explore EMDR for anxiety rooted in specific memories, alongside skills support from Anxiety therapists care.

Is EMDR right for me?

EMDR can help with trauma, anxiety, and grief when stabilization is in place. Your clinician will assess readiness and supports and outline contingency steps to prevent overwhelm. Postpartum depression therapists may provide specialized support for birth-related trauma.

How long does treatment take?

Course length varies with history and goals. Some targets resolve quickly; complex trauma needs longer timelines. Your provider will review progress regularly. If low mood and shutdown are prominent alongside trauma symptoms, Depression counselling support may also be helpful in parallel.

What happens in sessions?

After preparation, you will focus briefly on a target memory while following bilateral cues. The therapist monitors arousal and helps your system process adaptively.

How do I start?

A consult reviews goals and history, then begins stabilization and target planning. You will get instructions for practice between visits.
