Help & Questions
For Therapists: How LynnMatch Introductions Work
LynnMatch is designed to support independent therapists by helping suitable clients request introductions more easily. LynnMatch does not replace professional judgment, the therapy relationship, or the therapist's control over fees, boundaries and availability.
What is LynnMatch for therapists?
LynnMatch helps suitable clients find and request introductions to independent therapists. It is designed to reduce overwhelm for clients and support therapists with better-fit inquiries.
Is LynnMatch replacing therapists?
No. LynnMatch does not replace therapists. The therapy relationship, professional judgment, client care, fees, boundaries and availability remain directly with the therapist. LynnMatch simply helps people find and request introductions more easily.
Is LynnMatch a therapy provider?
No. LynnMatch is not a therapy provider and does not provide therapy, counseling, diagnosis, medical advice, clinical judgment, emergency support or crisis care. Therapy remains provided directly by the independent therapist.
Do therapists pay to appear higher in results?
No. LynnMatch does not use paid ranking boosts. Therapists are not pushed higher because they pay more.
How does the founding therapist model work?
During the founding stage, selected therapists are invited to join the LynnMatch network early and help shape how the service develops.
How much does LynnMatch cost therapists?
LynnMatch charges a successful introduction fee when an introduction is accepted, rather than charging a monthly listing fee during the current launch model. The current fee is shown clearly on the pricing page and should be checked there for the latest details.
Do I have to accept every introduction?
No. Therapists should only accept introductions they feel are appropriate, suitable, ethical and within their availability.
Who controls the therapy relationship?
The therapist does. LynnMatch does not manage the therapy relationship, set session fees, control therapeutic approach, or make clinical decisions.
Does LynnMatch take payment from clients for therapy?
No. Therapy fees, payment terms, cancellations and session arrangements remain between the therapist and client.
Can I set my own fees and availability?
Yes. Independent therapists remain in control of their own fees, availability, working style and professional boundaries.
What makes LynnMatch different from a directory?
A directory mainly lists therapists. LynnMatch is designed to guide users through a calmer matching process and help them request introductions to therapists who may be a better fit.
Can I join if I work online, in person, or both?
Yes, subject to profile approval and launch-area coverage. Therapists should clearly state whether they offer online sessions, in-person sessions, or both.
What standards does LynnMatch expect from therapists?
Therapists should provide accurate information, stay within their professional scope, keep their availability updated, and follow their own professional, ethical and legal responsibilities, including applicable licensing requirements.
