What this service offers

The Secular Therapy Project is a therapist-search and messaging platform associated with Recovering from Religion. After registering, clients search by location or remote-service options and contact prospective therapists themselves. The project describes screening applicants for licensure, secular practice, and use of research-supported methods, while explicitly declining to guarantee provider quality. Therapy fees, insurance, location eligibility, and cult-specific experience must be discussed with the therapist.
