How Hearby works.
Two distinct flows, one for therapists and one for clients, that converge in a single, focused session.
For therapists
Six steps from signup to paid.
Apply and get verified
Submit your regulatory college registration. Hearby verifies your standing and credentials before you appear on the platform.
Set up your profile
Add your approach, areas of focus, and session fee. Your profile shows clients who you are and what you work with.
Post available slots
Open slots on your schedule whenever you have capacity, whether a last-minute cancellation or planned availability.
Review the intake summary
When a client is matched to you, you receive a summary of their intake before confirming. You always have the right to decline.
Run the session
Sessions take place on Hearby's encrypted video platform. No third-party tools required. 45 minutes, focused.
Get paid same day
Payment is triggered automatically when the session ends. Direct deposit via Stripe Connect, typically same or next business day.
For clients
Five steps to a session.
Complete your intake
Answer a short set of questions about what you're looking for, your current situation, and availability. Includes a safety screen.
Get matched
Hearby identifies available therapists that fit your intake. You see their profile, approach, and fee before confirming.
Confirm your session
Book your slot. Payment is collected at the time of booking. You'll receive a confirmation and a link to your session.
Attend via encrypted video
Join your session directly from the Hearby platform. No app download required. Works on desktop and mobile.
Receive your receipt
After the session, you receive a detailed receipt you can submit to your extended health benefit plan.
Under the hood
Built for privacy, speed, and compliance.
Encrypted video

PHIPA-compliant
Every data flow on the platform meets Ontario's health privacy legislation.
Canadian servers

Payments are handled by Stripe. Direct deposit triggered on session completion.
