Where else to look

Real organisations, outside this site. A directory that only ever points at itself is a funnel, not a hub — so here is everything we would actually send someone to.

Every link below was checked on 9 September 2026. If one of them has gone dead, telling us is genuinely useful — a broken link on a page like this costs someone at a low ebb an afternoon.

If you need someone now

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline

Call or text 988, any time, free. You do not have to be suicidal to use it — it is for any mental health crisis, including on behalf of someone else.

SAMHSA National Helpline

1-800-662-4357. Free, confidential, 24/7, in English and Spanish. Treatment referral and information for mental health and substance use.

FindTreatment.gov

The federal treatment locator. Useful for finding licensed facilities, and for confirming that somewhere you found elsewhere is real.

Find a Health Center (HRSA)

Federally Qualified Health Centers must run an income-based sliding scale, and can be free at or below the federal poverty level. The least-known low-cost route there is.

For this subject specifically

AASECT

The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists. Certification here is the most meaningful credential in this field, and their directory lets you verify someone actually holds it.

Why we link away

Most directories are built to keep you on them. That is the wrong instinct for a subject where the useful thing is often somewhere else — a professional body’s own therapist finder, a helpline, a federal locator. None of these organisations paid to be here and none of them know we exist.

46 guides on embodiment, desire and intimacy, free and without an account. There is a directory here too — it is new, and growing.

General information for adults, not clinical or medical advice; the people described are composites, not real clients. Nothing here is a substitute for care from a licensed clinician or physician, and pain, bleeding, or a sudden change in sexual function is a medical question first. No practitioner listed on this site offers touch, surrogate partner work, or sexual services. Listings are maintained by independent practices. If you are in immediate danger, call 911; the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available any time, and the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.
