Soch Connect is a platform that embraces the South Asian culture and language in a clinical setting
As a therapist, Soch Connect is an opportunity for you to get matched with the right clients and focus on your specialized area of clinical expertise while supporting South Asian community members. Soch connect reduces false leads, as can be the case with other directories, by showcasing your professional profile and using your expertise to match you with the right clients.
Developed by 2 Masters level Registered Nurses who are South Asian mental health experts, this website uses a well-intentioned algorithm to match therapists with the right clients. Community members begin their journey with Soch Connect by completing a short questionnaire about their mental health needs to help us better understand why they are seeking support. Similarly, when therapists are signing up with Soch Connect, they are asked to complete a similar questionnaire based on their clinical skills. Both questionnaires have been created to complement each other and to ensure the client’s needs and therapist’s expertise align, resulting in an optimal connection. The founders of Soch Connect have been matching community members from their nonprofit organization to therapists and are now expanding this service to the larger South Asian community.
