Built from lived experience
This directory is run by the people who built Bia — and who spent decades inside the conditions it lists therapists for.
I believe you can recover
Hello, my name is Willy, founder of Bia. I suffered from emetophobia for most of my life and know first hand the misery and loneliness it can cause. During my recovery I built a tool to track my progress and help me practice. Over four years this tool transformed into Bia, now used by people around the world. I'm happy to share I have recovered from phobia and I believe you can too.
From Bia user to co-founder
My name is Elizabeth, and I am Co-Founder of Bia. I came across an early version of Bia while working through my own phobia recovery and became one of its first users. I was already seeing a therapist, but once I added daily guided-exposure practice with Bia the impact on my recovery was immediate. I've since partnered with Willy to leverage my health-care background to build and expand Bia, and it's been incredibly meaningful to see the tool help others just as it helped me.
Why a directory, and why us
FindExposureTherapy is operated by MyTherapy LLC, doing business as Bia — the same company behind the Bia phobia-recovery app. Our work is to increase both the availability and the effectiveness of anxiety treatment, and a directory is the availability half of that: exposure therapy works, and the hardest part of getting it is finding somebody who genuinely does it.
That is why listing is free and permanent, why no clinician can pay to rank higher, and why every blank region on the coverage map is treated as a problem to solve rather than a gap to hide.
Our mission is your recovery
Our mission at Bia is to help you overcome phobia by providing a safe place to learn and practice researched recovery techniques.
You deserve a life free from phobia.
