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.

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.

Your questions, answered

Why might I want to see an LGBTQ+ therapist?

Seeing an LGBTQ+ therapist can provide a sense of safety and understanding, especially when discussing topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity. These therapists often have personal insight into LGBTQ+ experiences and may better understand the unique challenges you face, such as coming out, discrimination, family acceptance, or navigating relationships. You may feel more comfortable opening up without needing to explain basic concepts about LGBTQ+ life.

What does it mean when a therapist identifies as LGBTQ+?

When therapists identify as LGBTQ+, it means they personally belong to the LGBTQ+ community. They may identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, or another identity within the spectrum. This is different from being an LGBTQ+ "ally" or "affirming" therapist, who supports the community but may not personally identify as LGBTQ+. Both can provide excellent care, but some clients prefer working with someone who shares their lived experience.

Are LGBTQ+ therapists trained in gender-affirming care?

Many LGBTQ+ therapists have training in gender-affirming care, though this varies by individual. Gender-affirming care involves supporting clients in exploring and expressing their gender identity without judgment. If you are seeking support for gender-related concerns, such as gender dysphoria or transitioning, ask potential therapists about their specific training and experience in this area. Some therapists can also provide assessment letters for hormone therapy or surgeries if needed.

Can I see an LGBTQ+ therapist for issues unrelated to my identity?

Absolutely. LGBTQ+ therapists are trained mental health professionals who can help with any issue, not just identity-related concerns. Whether you are dealing with anxiety therapists, Depression counselling, relationship problems, work stress, or other challenges, an LGBTQ+ therapist can provide effective treatment. Some clients simply prefer working with someone from their community regardless of the presenting issue, and that is a valid reason to seek out an LGBTQ+ provider.

How do I know if a therapist is LGBTQ+ affirming vs. LGBTQ+ identifying?

An LGBTQ+ affirming therapist supports and validates LGBTQ+ clients but may not personally identify as LGBTQ+. An LGBTQ+ identifying therapist is themselves a member of the community. On Promptd, LGBTQ+ therapists have self-identified as members of the LGBTQ+ community. If this distinction is important to you, you can ask therapists directly about their identity during an initial consultation. Both affirming and identifying therapists can provide excellent, culturally competent care.

Can I see an LGBTQ+ therapist if I'm not out yet?

Yes. You do not need to be out to anyone else to start therapy. Many LGBTQ+ therapists work with clients who are still exploring their identity, questioning, or not ready to come out to family, friends, or colleagues. Sessions are confidential, and a good therapist will let you set the pace. Therapy can be a safe space to work through what you are feeling before making any decisions about disclosure.

Do I need to identify as LGBTQ+ to see an LGBTQ+ therapist?

No. LGBTQ+ therapists work with clients of all identities and backgrounds. Some people seek them out for their affirming approach or specific expertise, others because they are questioning their identity, and others simply because the therapist is the best fit for their concern. You do not need to label yourself to book a session.

Can an LGBTQ+ therapist help with relationship or couples work?

Yes. Many LGBTQ+ therapists have experience with same-sex relationships, polyamorous dynamics, and the specific communication patterns that arise in queer partnerships. If couples work is the main goal, start with couples therapists and filter by identity. For concerns around intimacy or desire, sex therapists may also be a good fit. An LGBTQ+ therapist can address relationship dynamics without heteronormative assumptions getting in the way.
