Why You Need a Therapist Matchmaker

“I just didn’t click with them.”
“I’m really not sure what I need. I just want help.”
“I’ve never had a therapist before. I don’t know what to expect.”
“It’s really important to me to have someone with a shared understanding.”
“I don’t want therapy to just be venting, I want practical help.”

We hear these words all the time in our practice. Many people know they need mental health support, but feel unsure about where to start or what exactly they need. Others have a clear picture of the kind of therapist they want but struggle to find someone who actually fits that vision.

That’s where a therapist matchmaker comes in.

At MamaCare, our Client Care Coordinator is the one who does this matchmaking work. She gets to know you, your story, and what you’re hoping for in therapy—and she knows each of our therapists, their style, and their areas of expertise. This means you’re not just choosing a name off a list; you’re being matched with someone who’s much more likely to be the right fit for you.

And our clients notice the difference: “Thank you, this was so straightforward.” … “I feel so much better knowing we have a plan.” … “I chose MamaCare because you offer this matchmaking.”

So why does having a therapist matchmaker matter so much?

1. It Helps You Find the Right Fit Faster

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never done it before and are already navigating the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum or infertility. Instead of guessing based on a short online profile, a matchmaker helps you find someone who fits your personality, needs, and goals—right from the start.

Because the matchmaker gets to know you, and knows our therapists well, she can recommend someone who aligns with your needs, goals, and personality. This reduces the trial-and-error process and helps you start with someone who feels like a true fit from the beginning.

2. You’re Supported If Things Don’t Work Out the First Time

Even with the best matching process, sometimes it takes more than one try to find the right connection. But here’s the problem: many people give up on therapy after one disappointing experience. This is heartbreaking when we know how vital support can be during postpartum depression, birth trauma recovery, or fertility struggles.

That’s why matchmaking doesn’t stop once you’ve started therapy. If you feel like your first therapist isn’t the right fit, you’re not left to figure it out alone. The matchmaker checks in, helps identify what didn’t work, and connects you with someone better suited to your needs. This ongoing support makes it easier to keep going until you find the right match.

3. You’re Matched With Someone Who Truly Understands Your Journey

Not all therapists have the same training or experience. General support can be helpful, but perinatal mental health and fertility challenges often require specialized care. Whether you’re navigating infertility grief, the emotional rollercoaster of IVF, anxiety in pregnancy, or postpartum depression, you deserve someone who understands the unique complexities of this stage of life.

A matchmaker ensures you’re paired with a therapist who has both the right expertise and the right approach—whether you’re looking for someone more structured and practical, or someone who creates a gentle, supportive space. And because your needs may shift over time, having a matchmaker means you’ll always have help finding support that grows with you.

How It Works at MamaCare

When you book a consultation with us, our Client Care Coordinator calls you at your chosen time. We’ll discuss what’s going on and we’ll chat about your past experiences with therapy, your hopes this time around, and all the practical details like scheduling and insurance.

From there, we’ll recommend a therapist we believe will be the best fit for you. And if you’ve already looked through our team bios, we’ll take your preferences into account too.
