Therapist-to-therapist referral networks are fragmented

Mental health therapists struggle to refer clients to specialists (psychiatrists, DBT experts, trauma specialists) because there's no organized network showing availability, specialization, and insurance acceptance. This delays treatment transitions and leaves therapists uncertain if their referrals are being seen.
