Is Wayfinder a replacement for therapy?

No. Wayfinder is an orientation instrument, not treatment. If you are in distress, crisis, or need clinical care, a licensed therapist or, in the US, the 988 Lifeline is the right first step.

How do I know if I need therapy or orientation?

If you are struggling to function or carrying distress, that points to therapy. If you are functioning but cannot tell where you are or which way to move, that points to orientation. Many people use both.

Can a therapist refer a client to Wayfinder?

Yes. For a client who is functional but structurally disoriented after an event like a shutdown, divorce, or empty nest, an orientation document can run alongside ongoing therapeutic work.
