🥉 TherapyPuente¶
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| URL | therapypuente.com |
| Model | Specifically for Spanish/English bilingual therapy globally |
| Focus | Psychotherapy and emotional coaching for Spanish+English speakers |

| Rates | $49/session individual, $59/couples (fixed, low) |
| Focus | Spanish-speaking community (US, Mexico, Argentina) |
| Caveat | Psychologists certified in Mexico/Argentina; low rates |
Supplementary only
Rates are too low for her experience ($49/session). Could be supplementary for LATAM market access but not primary.
Spill (UK Corporate Wellness)¶

| URL | spill.chat |
| Model | Client pays £65-90/session. Therapists become shareholders. |
| Requirements | 3-year degree, registered (BACP/UKCP/NCS), 200+ private practice hours, own supervision + insurance |

Premium UK corporate
High bar for entry (7 years experience) but Nuria easily qualifies. Premium clients, good rates, admin handled.
US Market (Future Options, Requires US Licensing)¶
These are the big US platforms. Excellent if Nuria gets US licensing in future:
| Platform | Commission | Avg earnings | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grow Therapy | Free to join (insurance cut) | $60-150/session | 48 states, 26K+ providers, handles everything |
| Headway | Free to join (insurance cut) | $70-150/session, avg ~$107/hr | All 50 states, 34K+ providers |
| Alma | $125/month membership | Insurance negotiated rates | All 50 states, 22K+ providers |
US licensing needed
These are the best-paying platforms but require US state licensing. Worth exploring if she plans to serve the US Latino market seriously. Telehealth compacts may help.

| Talkspace | US-focused, similar low-rate issues |
| Mindler/ieso | £42/session -- too low for her experience |
