How it works

A better way to find the right practitioner.

Archimie is designed to do the analytical part of finding a practitioner well, and the rest only you can do.

  1. 01

    You answer thoughtfully

    A 6–8 minute questionnaire explores how you connect, what you want to work on, and what makes you feel safe in a therapeutic relationship.

  2. 02

    You receive three matches

    Matched across the dimensions of the therapeutic alliance, with a short note explaining each pairing. Full profiles for each practitioner available, including a voice intro.

  3. 03

    You take a free 15-minute intro call

    Book a short audio call through Archimie with any or all of the three, at no cost. This is where your instinct does the work an algorithm cannot: does their voice settle you, does it feel like a fit, do you want to work with them?

  4. 04

    You continue with the one that fits

    Mutual sign-off. If nothing fits, tell us why and we re-match as the cohort grows.

What's different

Matching engine, not a directory.

Built and molded by research

No need to search or browse, we match on the therapeutic alliance — the strongest empirical factor to therapeutic efficacy.

Voice intros before money changes hands

First impressions in therapy are expensive. A free 15-minute call lets you feel the room before you pay for one.

Mutual sign-off

The practitioner is also assessing fit. When both say yes, the work starts on stronger ground.

High standards for practitioners

All practitioners have training or experience in working with trauma, and with clear specializations rather than a long list of focuses.
