Finding the right therapist for YOU.
You’ve felt overwhelmed for a while now and you’ve finally started searching for someone to help you. Finding a counselor is a daunting task, let alone finding one who is a “good fit” for your unique needs. Naturally, you worry if they will truly understand your problem or would even be able to help. This feels like one of the most important decisions of your life. No pressure or anything!
To get the most out of your therapy experience, it’s important to consider a few things when searching for your counselor. Think about your unique needs and what kind of treatment or fees fit in your budget without causing significant financial strain. Do your unique needs require a therapist with specialties? Sometimes specialists may have higher fees due to their training and experience. Consider how much time you can commit to counseling. Some therapists require weekly sessions up front while others are more flexible with how frequently they schedule sessions. Think about what kind of personality feels most comfortable to you. This is a person you will be sharing your hopes, intimate thoughts, and fears so make sure you actually like being around them and can trust them.
If you’ve found a few therapists you think you may like ask if they offer a consultation so you can get a feel for what it would be like to be in therapy with that person.
If you’re curious about what it would be like to work with me, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so that we can discuss your needs and determine if I am a good fit for you. Don’t worry, if I’m not a good fit I can give you referrals to some of my most trusted therapists in the area. It’s still a win-win.
