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 should I ask before booking an NIHB-covered session?

Even if a provider accepts NIHB, confirm the practical details: whether they direct bill or issue receipts, what documentation is needed, whether pre-approval applies, and how cancellations are handled. If access or travel is a barrier, consider Online therapy. If identity, safety, or cultural fit matters most, you can filter for female therapists or Black therapists therapists and then confirm NIHB paperwork with the clinic.

If I have a specific concern, which type of therapist should I look for?

Start with the main issue and the kind of support you want, then verify NIHB steps with the provider. For worry, panic, or chronic stress, anxiety therapists is a good fit. For persistent low mood, burnout, or loss of motivation, consider Depression counselling. For trauma symptoms or PTSD, trauma and PTSD therapists is often the best match. For intrusive thoughts and compulsions, look for an OCD therapist.

What approaches might be a good fit, and how do I choose?

If you want a structured, skills-based plan, CBT therapy is often a strong starting point. If emotional intensity, self-harm urges, or relationship volatility are central, DBT therapy can help with regulation and coping skills. If the main goal is trauma processing, an EMDR therapy may be appropriate. Once you pick an approach, ask the provider what NIHB documentation they need for the first sessions.

What if I am looking for care for a child, teen, or ADHD support?

For kids, start with child therapists so care is developmentally appropriate and parent involvement is clear. For adolescents, teen therapists can better match school stress, identity, and independence needs. If attention and executive-function support is the goal, ADHD therapists is a good filter. For behavior-focused work (often with children), applied behavioural therapists may be relevant depending on the situation. In all cases, confirm NIHB requirements for minors and caregiver consent.

Do NIHB-covered providers also support couples, families, and more specialized care?

Yes, many providers support different formats and specialties while still working with NIHB. For relationship work, start with couples therapists. For broader household dynamics, family therapists is often a better fit. For intimacy and sexual concerns, sex therapists can help. If eating concerns are central, an eating disorder therapist may be more appropriate. If symptoms started after childbirth, postpartum depression support support can be a strong starting point. Always confirm what NIHB paperwork applies to the specific service type.

Can creative therapies be a fit under NIHB, like art or music therapy?

Sometimes. Creative therapies can be helpful when talk therapy is not the best entry point, especially for kids, trauma, or communication barriers. If that resonates, explore art therapists or music therapists, then ask the provider what NIHB coverage and documentation look like for those services.
