For Everyone
Whether you're curious about therapy, have been offered a referral, or are already in treatment, TheTherapies is here to help you understand what's available, what to expect, and what the evidence says \u2014 in language that makes sense.
How this site works
Every therapy on this site has two layers of information. You can switch between them at any time using the toggle at the top of each therapy page:
- 1“How it works” \u2014 plain language, explaining what happens in therapy, what it helps with, and what to expect.
- 2“The science” \u2014 models, techniques, and evidence grading. For those who want the full clinical picture.
