scheduling a consult - taking the first step toward therapy
choosing the right therapist
Many therapists offer consultations, which can feel both hopeful and nerve-wracking — it’s your chance to see if someone truly understands you. Think of it as an interview for both you and the therapist.
Use this time to:
Ask questions about their approach, experience, and specialties
Share the challenges you’re facing, such as anxiety, trauma, or feeling stuck
Notice how you feel during the conversation and whether you sense a connection and trust
If something doesn’t feel right, that’s okay — your comfort and trust matter. It’s worth continuing your search until you find a therapist who truly fits your needs, whether for in-person therapy in Edmonton or virtual therapy anywhere in Canada.
priotizing comfort and safety in therapy
Your feelings matter, especially when opening up feels risky. Therapy requires vulnerability, and if a therapist leaves you uneasy or makes it hard to trust them, you deserve the chance to find someone who truly fits your needs.
Prioritizing your comfort, safety, and trust isn’t just acceptable — it’s essential for your healing. At Perception Psychotherapy, we help adults connect with trauma-informed therapists who create a safe, supportive, and understanding environment, whether you choose in-person therapy in Edmonton or virtual sessions across Canada
using therapist profiles to find a match
Understanding Therapists Through Websites, Bios, and Reviews, Websites, therapist bios, and reviews can feel overwhelming, but they are a crucial way to understand a therapist’s approach, specialties, and personality. Take the time to explore profiles and notice who resonates with you.
Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions. Every concern matters when it comes to your mental health, whether you’re seeking in-person therapy in Edmonton or virtual sessions anywhere in Canada.
choosing your personal therapist
Some places just assign you a therapist, which can feel impersonal. At Perception Psychotherapy, you have the option to choose who you want to meet, or we can help match you with a therapist if that feels easier. Either way, it’s your choice, and therapy should always feel supportive, whether you connect in person in Edmonton or through virtual sessions across Canada.
don’t give up on finding the right therapist
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if past attempts left you frustrated or unheard. It’s easy to feel like giving up, but your mental health is worth the effort. The right therapist is out there, and taking the time to find them is a meaningful step toward finally feeling understood, supported, and on the path to real healing, whether through in-person sessions in Edmonton or virtual therapy anywhere in Canada.
