Consult Group Match.
An app idea for mental health therapists.
A lightweight matching service that connects private practice therapists with peer consultation groups based on specialty and availability.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Private practice therapist
- The problem
- Therapists looking for peer consultation are told to ask their network or post on Facebook, which does not work if they are new, isolated, or in a niche. They want to find a group that fits their specialty and schedule without cold-emailing strangers.
- The gap
- The results show directories, articles and paid fixed groups, but no matching service that pairs a therapist to a group by specialty and availability. The advice is still to ask people you know or post on social media.
- Already out there

- The big assumption
- Therapists will pay to be matched into a group rather than join a free group they hear about through their network.
- Test it this week
- Run a manual match for ten therapists this month using a form and a spreadsheet, and see if any pay a small fee or show up to a matched group call.
