Do you have questions?

What qualifications do Experts have?

Our Expert team includes psychologists, marriage and family therapists and clinical social workers amongst other practitioners in the relationship and family guidance and counseling space. In addition to a rigorous interview process, our Experts also undergo specific OurRitual training that adds to the expertise that they bring from past experience.

How does OurRitual find me the right Expert?

One of the cornerstones of our service is providing you with the flexibility that you may not find on other platforms. Our first priority is making sure that you're matched with an Expert that can meet with you at times that work for you. When you sign up, you'll also answer a short questionnaire with information that will be provided to your Expert in order to specifically tailor your sessions to your needs.

Does OurRitual provide services in other languages?

All of the Experts at OurRitual speak fluent English, and our app and content are currently only available in English. However, should you feel more comfortable having your sessions in another language, we have experts who can conduct sessions in Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Polish, Hindi, Greek, and Portuguese.

Can I switch experts?

If you feel that the Expert you were matched with is not a fit for you, you can easily request a switch. We want to ensure that you feel connected and at ease with your Expert. A quick email to our support team will initiate the change process.
