Existing platforms in the space often lacked the depth of filters and customization needed to truly match users with the right therapist. The client wanted to solve this by building a system that allowed users to narrow down results using multiple criteria — such as specialization, language, location, therapy type, and availability — all while keeping the interface simple and accessible. The challenge was to manage and display a large volume of dynamic data while maintaining performance and usability.

The platform was developed using Next.js for a fast and SEO-friendly frontend, integrated with Strapi as the headless CMS to manage therapist profiles and filter metadata. Mapbox was used to provide an interactive map interface, allowing users to visually locate therapists by geography. Custom filtering logic was implemented to handle multi-criteria searches efficiently while keeping response times low. The combination of these tools enabled a smooth, modern user experience tailored to helping users quickly find the right therapist.

The client, based in the Netherlands, wanted to create a digital platform to help users easily find and connect with therapists. The goal was to provide a user-friendly directory of therapy professionals with advanced filtering options, so users could find the most suitable therapist based on their specific needs and preferences.

The final product delivered a robust and highly usable therapist discovery platform, complete with powerful filtering options and intuitive location-based search. By leveraging modern technologies like Next.js, Strapi, and Mapbox, we were able to meet the client’s expectations and provide users with a valuable tool for finding mental health professionals more effectively.
