Why a US license matters
A US-licensed therapist is authorized by the state where you live to provide therapy, not just support or advice. They meet that state's professional and ethical requirements and answer to its licensing board. As part of your therapy, they can also issue an attendance letter if you need one. Just let us know when you start therapy. You can check your therapist's license on your state licensing board's official website.

About usFrequently asked questions
How do sessions work?
Your sessions are virtual, 45 minutes with your therapist and in Spanish. All you need is a place where you can talk privately.
Do I need health insurance?
No. At dafne you pay directly, without health insurance. You can choose a single session or a package of sessions, so you don't depend on approvals, copays or deductibles to start therapy.
Why does my state matter?
Each US state issues its own licenses for therapists. Your therapist must be licensed in the state where you are during the session. That's why we ask where you live and match you with someone licensed there.
Does my therapist speak Spanish?
Yes. We match you with a therapist who speaks your language, so you can express yourself naturally without translating how you feel. All our Spanish sessions are with therapists who speak Spanish fluently.
Do you see minors?
No. dafne offers individual therapy for adults (18+) only. If you're looking for support for a minor, we recommend speaking with their doctor or your local mental health services.
Can you give me an attendance letter?
Yes. If you need one, your therapist can issue a letter confirming your session dates and attendance, as part of your therapy. We ask whether you'll need one when you sign up. Learn more about the therapy attendance letter.
