Answers to common questions about finding a therapist, booking and using Thera.
Thera is built for people whose lives cross borders and cultures. You can search for therapists by language, cultural background and country, not only by specialisation. Every therapist is licensed and independently verified, and you see their real qualifications and rates before you book.
Sessions cost 47-170 USD for 45 minutes, depending on the therapist. There are no long-term contracts. A monthly plan of 4 sessions gives 10% off. See pricing.
All sessions are online, by secure video call.
For many common concerns, such as anxiety, depression and stress, research has found video therapy to be about as effective as meeting in person (Fernandez et al, 2021). One of the things that matters most is the fit between you and your therapist, which is why Thera lets you choose by language, background and approach.

Therapy delivered through live video sessions can achieve similar improvements in mental health symptoms to in-person therapy. A 2021 meta-analysis by Fernandez and colleagues found negligible differences in outcomes overall, alongside substantial symptom improvements in video therapy studies targeting anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These findings concern live video therapy and should not be generalised to messaging or self-guided programmes.
