Coaching isn't therapy. When you need licensed care, start here. You contact the therapist directly, and STAYVEN is never paid for a referral.

Using insurance?

Call the member services number on your card and ask for in-network therapists who see adults for counseling. It is often the fastest way to a low-cost first appointment.

Support for dads

Fatherhood help.

Programs, groups and helplines built for fathers. Not therapy, but often the right first call.

STAYVEN-listed

Maryland therapists.

Every license is checked with the Maryland board before listing and re-checked monthly.

Our first listings are being verified.Maryland therapists appear here as their licenses check out. Until then, the directories above are the fastest route.
How referrals work

Straight and simple.

No money

Nobody pays for a referral.

Therapists list free and STAYVEN takes nothing from them or you for a referral.

Verified

Licenses are checked.

Listed therapists are verified with the Maryland licensing board before they appear, then monthly.

Your call

You choose and you reach out.

STAYVEN doesn't send your information to anyone. Your coach can help you think it through.

Separate

Therapy stays with your therapist.

Therapy records live in your therapist's own system. STAYVEN never sees them.

For therapists

  • Get listed free while STAYVEN grows. No per-client or per-referral fees, ever.
