Find a therapist who gets athletes

What you need: Who you are in one sentence (current athlete / X years post-career / founder whose work eats you like a season). The 1-3 things bringing you to therapy now — the actual content, not "anxiety." Your insurance situation (in-network only, willing to pay cash, NFL benefits available, etc.). Any history with therapy that didn't work and one sentence on why.

How to use: If you've built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem, open that and paste this prompt inside — the AI will use what it knows about you and skip questions it can already answer. Otherwise, paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI will interview you across 5 questions, then produce a full vetting kit: the 3-step pre-call verification (AASP CMPC directory, state license lookup, bio-language tells), the 6 questions to ask on the intro call with both a GOOD answer and a RED FLAG answer for each in the actual language a therapist would use, the second-session test (one specific signal that tells you whether they're treating YOU or just your performance), the reality block (3-5 tries is the average and the give-it-3-sessions-OR-leave-immediately decision rule), and the cost block with real dollar ranges plus the NFLPA Cigna EAP 8-session free path if you're a vested NFL member.
