How Two Chairs compares
Two Chairs and Grow Therapy both use matching to connect patients with in-network therapists. Grow Therapy is primarily a marketplace where patients search and self-select providers; Two Chairs uses a clinician-driven matching process and has a stronger matching guarantee. Two Chairs operates in fewer states but has deeper therapist relationships and a higher emphasis on fit. For patients who have had difficulty finding a therapist they connect with, Two Chairs' matching model addresses that pain point more directly than self-service marketplaces.
About
Two Chairs is a therapy platform built on the premise that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of treatment outcomes — and that most patients are poorly matched with their therapist by default. The platform uses a structured matching process: patients complete a detailed intake covering their therapeutic goals, communication style preferences, and clinical needs, and a Two Chairs clinician (not an algorithm alone) matches them with a specific therapist from the network. Two Chairs offers a matching guarantee — if a patient doesn't connect with their first therapist, they are rematched at no additional cost. The platform offers both in-person therapy (in select California markets) and telehealth sessions available more broadly. Clinical services include individual therapy, couples therapy, and LGBTQ+-affirming care. Two Chairs accepts major insurance plans and positions itself as a mid-tier option between low-cost therapy apps (BetterHelp, which doesn't accept insurance) and more expensive premium boutique practices. The matching-forward model is a meaningful differentiator for patients who have had poor experiences with therapist matching algorithms or who are starting therapy and want expert guidance in finding the right fit.
What's Included
Convenience
Pricing
Two Chairs accepts major insurance including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. With insurance, patients typically pay their standard therapy copay ($30–$80/session depending on plan). Self-pay rates are approximately $175–$200/session. An initial matching consultation is complimentary.
Who this is best for
Adults seeking therapy who prioritize finding the right therapeutic fit and are willing to invest in a structured matching process to get there — particularly patients who have tried therapy before and felt the match was wrong, those with specific identity-based needs (LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally specific), or patients who want both in-person and telehealth flexibility in California.
What to expect
Complete Two Chairs' intake questionnaire, which covers your therapy goals, preferences, and background. A Two Chairs clinician reviews your intake and schedules a brief matching consultation to confirm the best fit. You're then matched with a specific therapist and can schedule your first session. If the match isn't right, Two Chairs rematches you at no cost.
