Outcome

Tiffany Bishop struggled to find a therapist who could help with two distinct areas, since most specialised in one or the other. Bishop gave ChatGPT a detailed prompt with their location (Washington State), preferences (within 20 minutes or virtual), insurance provider and a short summary of what they needed. It returned four suggestions, each with a summary, how well they matched and links to their profiles. All four met the logistics; the first had deep experience in both areas and became Bishop's new therapist.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Find a short list of therapists who match my needs, location and insurance, with links I can check myself.

Fill in before running:
- My state or city and how far I'll travel (or virtual only): [LOCATION]
- My insurance provider and plan: [INSURANCE]
- The areas I want support with: [NEEDS]
- Any preferences (gender, approach, availability): [PREFERENCES]

This is admin help, not medical advice. Don't diagnose or suggest treatments. If anything I mention sounds urgent, tell me to contact a doctor or emergency services first.

Rules:
- Only suggest real, currently practising therapists, with a link to each profile.
- For each one, say how well they match each of my needs and what you couldn't confirm.
- Tell me to confirm insurance and availability with the therapist's office before booking.
- Keep the list to three to five options, best match first.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A ranked shortlist with a short summary, match notes and a profile link for each therapist.

You'll know it worked when: I've booked a first session with someone who covers everything I need.
