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 trauma-informed therapy?

Trauma-informed therapy centers safety, choice, and collaboration. Early sessions focus on stabilization: grounding, sleep, and boundaries, then processing when ready. Plans respect consent and culture and coordinate with medical care as needed. Many people choose Online therapy sessions to reduce travel strain while keeping care consistent.

Which approaches help PTSD?

Effective methods include EMDR, exposure-informed work, and cognitive processing therapy. Plans emphasize pacing to prevent overwhelm and practice skills for daily stability and recovery. Postpartum depression therapists may provide specialized support for birth-related trauma, and EMDR therapy offers specialized EMDR treatment. For emotion regulation and distress tolerance while stabilizing, DBT therapy skills can also be helpful.

How long does it take?

Timelines vary with history and supports. Many notice stabilization gains in weeks, then shift into processing. Your provider will help set milestones and adjust as life changes. If shutdown and low mood are prominent, Depression counselling support may be useful alongside trauma care.

How is safety handled?

Safety planning covers triggers, environments, and relationships. You will build routines for rest and recovery and set clear boundaries. Virtual sessions can improve access while protecting privacy and energy.

What is trauma counselling and trauma informed therapy?

Trauma counselling emphasizes safety, consent, and collaboration. Early sessions build stabilization, then later work processes memories so daily life becomes safer and more predictable.

Which approaches are used in trauma therapy?

Clinicians draw from cognitive and body-based methods and exposure-informed work. Options can include EMDR therapy and cognitive processing alongside somatic strategies. When emotion regulation is a key barrier, DBT therapy skills can help stabilize before deeper processing.

How is safety managed in trauma counselling?

Plans identify triggers and environments, then set routines for sleep, grounding, and boundaries. Session length and format are adjusted as needed, and exposure is never forced. If trauma is connected to ongoing or recent violence, starting with Domestic abuse counselling-focused safety planning can be essential.

How do I start trauma therapy?

A consult clarifies goals, triggers, and preferences, then outlines a paced plan with check-ins and safety tools. Depending on privacy and comfort, you may choose In-person therapy sessions, Online therapy sessions, or a blend.
