Mental health discovery depends on language, fit and access
Patients may describe how they feel, search for a therapy type or look for a specific clinician. The path must remain clear without making an online assessment.
- 01
Need in patient language
The search begins with a concern or situation rather than a diagnosis or professional title.
- 02
Therapy and clinician fit
The patient compares therapy information, clinician credentials, languages and appointment format.
- 03
Local or online access
Market, location, service boundaries and clinic-supplied availability determine the relevant provider.
Queries and prompts
Use the patient’s words without making a diagnosis
Illustrative query and prompt forms show the discovery stages we test. The provider approves all clinical and market-specific wording.
Prompts that narrow need, format and clinician criteria.
- “Find providers in [market] offering [therapy type] online.”
- “Compare clinician credentials, languages and availability information.”
What must stay separate
Keep need, therapy and provider fit as separate layers
This prevents one generic condition page from implying a diagnosis, a treatment choice or availability that the provider has not confirmed.
Need / diagnosis
Patient-language pages support discovery; clinical assessment remains outside the search content.
Therapy / clinician
A therapy page explains approved service information; a clinician page establishes relevant credentials and scope.
Local / online
Location-based and online-care paths are segmented by the provider’s confirmed market and service boundaries.
Page and entity architecture
Let sensitive discovery lead to an appropriate provider page
Need-led hubs connect to therapy pages, clinician entities and separate local or online access paths.
Need-led hub
Uses sensitive patient language to organize options without assessing the visitor.
Therapy path
Connects approved therapy information to clinicians who provide that service.
Access path
Separates local and online availability by provider, market, language and appointment format.
Measurable signals
Track provider fit, not only condition keywords
We measure whether the right clinician and access information appear as the patient’s question becomes more specific.
