Because clarity makes support more effective! Instead of an open-ended session where you and your Paratherapist have to figure out what you need in the moment, our four session types set clear expectations upfront, so you get exactly the experience you’re looking for, whether that’s venting, problem-solving, confidence-building, or celebrating a win. It also helps keep conversations focused and ensures you leave the session feeling like you got what you needed.

No worries! We offer a 15-minute free consult to get you started. Or, start with a Vent session. It’s the most open-ended and gives you space to talk things through. Your Paratherapist can also help you figure out what kind of support feels right as you go. You can also book sessions back to back - so start Venting and move on to Problem Solving or Boosting your Confidence. Get the most out of each session!

Paratherapists have a Certification in Structured Emotional Support (C-SES). We often think of listening and offering support as something anyone can do, but doing it well, ethically, and in a way that actually helps someone stabilize or feel seen? That takes real skill.

C-SES provides a framework for empathy, emotional containment, strengths-based encouragement, and boundary management, all rooted in strong psychological principles and rigorous practice.

Paratherapists are highly skilled in guiding conversations with warmth, empathy, and structure which means you get high-quality emotional support without the cost, waitlists, or clinical focus of therapy.

Because focused conversations are the most impactful. A full hour can lead to wandering, over-processing, or diving into deeper work that’s better suited for therapy. 30 minutes keeps things targeted and actionable, helping you feel supported without the overwhelm.

Nope! Parathera is zero commitment. Book a single session whenever you need it, or get a package if you want an ongoing source of support. No subscriptions, no pressure, just support when you need it.

Unlike therapy and coaching, Parathera is focused on stability rather than change. Not every emotional struggle requires the level of care therapy offers and not every person is looking to reach a new goal or optimize their life where coaching shines. Sometimes, you just need support. A space to be heard, to process, to feel lighter. Parathera offers real human connection, warmth, and practical guidance, a perfect complement to therapy or a useful tool on its own.

Because structured, high-quality support matters. Free warm lines can be helpful, but they’re often staffed by volunteers with varying levels of experience, and availability can be hit or miss. Parathera guarantees a skilled, certified listener who is ready to meet you where you are, in a session designed to give you exactly what you need.

Not really. Coaching is typically goal-oriented and future-focused, while Parathera is about support in the moment, helping you feel steadier, clearer, or more confident right now. You don’t need a plan, a vision, or a goal, just yourself and whatever you’re carrying.

Absolutely! Want to book back to back? Great! Start by venting and follow with Problem Solving or get a Boost of Confidence. Need to get support multiple times a week? We’re here for you!
