Hearby

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.

01

Apply and get verified

Submit your regulatory college registration. Hearby verifies your standing and credentials before you appear on the platform.

02

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.

03

Post available slots

Open slots on your schedule whenever you have capacity, whether a last-minute cancellation or planned availability.

04

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.

05

Run the session

Sessions take place on Hearby's encrypted video platform. No third-party tools required. 45 minutes, focused.

06

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.

01

Complete your intake

Answer a short set of questions about what you're looking for, your current situation, and availability. Includes a safety screen.

02

Get matched

Hearby identifies available therapists that fit your intake. You see their profile, approach, and fee before confirming.

03

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.

04

Attend via encrypted video

Join your session directly from the Hearby platform. No app download required. Works on desktop and mobile.

05

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

All sessions use end-to-end encrypted video hosted on Canadian infrastructure.

PHIPA-compliant

Every data flow on the platform meets Ontario's health privacy legislation.

Canadian servers

No clinical data ever leaves Canada. All storage and processing is domestic.

Stripe Connect

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