INTRODUCING OUR WINNERS

Best Therapy Directories

One of the most difficult parts of therapy is getting started. Many people don't know where to look or have particular needs that can't or won't be met by the first therapist they find.

These directories handle the heavy lifting, so you can easily narrow down your search based on the provider's location, expertise, cultural competence, and more.

Best Mindfulness & Meditation Apps

There's a lot about meditation that feels intimidating to someone who wants to implement it into their mental health toolkit but doesn't know how.

If this sounds like you, check out these apps that made the cut for user-friendliness, affordability, and variety of meditations.

Best Sleep Apps

Can't sleep? We know the feeling. In fact, an estimated 50 to 70 million Americans have chronic, or ongoing, sleep disorders.

Luckily, these apps might just help you put those worries to bed. From sleep stories and sleep-tracking tools to unique bedtime meditations and helpful resources, they've got everything you need to ensure a good night's rest on the regular.

Best Therapy Tools

Therapy isn't always an option when our schedules are packed or most providers don't take our insurance.

While they're not a substitute for therapy, we've picked our favorite apps that serve up interactive activities and challenges, a breadth of self-help topics, and helpful coping skills and techniques to help fill in the gaps.
