Alma on The Moth

This episode of The Moth is brought to you by Alma. Therapy has been valuable for me, but getting started isn't exactly easy. The hardest part wasn't deciding to go, it was figuring out where to even begin. I remember scrolling endlessly, not knowing who took my insurance, wondering if I'd connect with the person on the other side. It just felt like a lot. That's why Alma really stands out to me. They make it simple to find a therapist who actually fits your needs. Their directory includes over 26,000 therapists nationwide, and you can filter by things like insurance, identity, and therapeutic approach. And 98% of their therapists accept insurance, which makes a big difference. Clients with insurance pay $20 on average, though it depends on your plan, and you can even use their free cost estimator to know what you'll pay up front. Most people find their match on the first try, and 95% connect with a therapist within a week. It just removes so much of that initial friction. Get started now at helloalma.com slash moth.
