To find Misophonia providers, use Misophonia Professional Directory from soQuiet.

Research the provider's practices.

• Some providers list their treatment approaches on their Misophonia Provider listing or on their own websites.
• We suggest a multi-disciplinary, evidence-based approach.

Mental Health

• Mental health providers offer many different types of therapies. Ask yours if they are offering treatment that may help specific problems you experience with Misophonia. 
  • If they say yes, ask them to explain how it should help. They should have rationale that makes sense and does not rely on big, important sounding words that you do not understand. Be critical and curious.
• If you have mental health diagnoses (depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.), we strongly suggest you seek services from licensed healthcare providers who can offer evidence-based practices to help you.
  • Mental health providers who can treat both Misophonia and other disorders include psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other licensed providers.
• Very few mental health providers identify themselves as experts in Misophonia. You do not need to find an expert, but we suggest finding someone who can create evidence-based treatment plans using strategies to help you cope effectively. 

Audiology

• There are some audiologists who identify and advertise themselves as experts in Misophonia, hyperacusis, and other decreased sound tolerance disorders. We recommend those who have experience in these areas.

Occupational Therapy

• We suggest asking occupational therapists if they can provide evaluations and treatment recommendations for people with sensory sensitivities in addition to Misophonia. Since occupational therapists are experts in sensory processes, you do not need to find one who is an expert in Misophonia specifically.
