Testimonials

It’s Complicated stories

Listen to what our international community of practitioners has to say about us.

About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to build the platform they wished existed.

As therapists, our clients remind us every day that life is indeed complicated. But building a practice today is no less so. Navigating administration, growing a client base, handling GDPR and security, all while facing the isolation private practice can bring. It's Complicated was built as our response: to make this work more human, and less about figuring it all out alone, but in community with others.Founded by clinical psychologist Johanne Schwensen and Jungian analyst Jakob Lusensky, It's Complicated is an international community of 5,000+ therapists, and growing. Built by therapists, for therapists, and partly owned by the community.Since our founding in Berlin in 2019, we remain an independent, therapist-run alternative to venture-backed marketplaces. No replacing the therapeutic relationship with AI chatbots. Just a platform to help you connect with the right clients, manage your practice with ease, and belong to a living community across Europe and beyond.

Our approach to AI

Humans first. Technology second.

Technology can make your practice easier to run. But it should support therapy, not quietly enter the relationship between you and your clients.

  1. 01No AI therapists or chatbots that simulate therapy
  2. 02Clinical data stays private, and any AI use with it is opt-in
  3. 03Clinical judgment remains with you
