your path to the right therapist starts here
Choosing a therapist is an important step toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. It's not just about credentials—it's about finding someone you feel comfortable opening up to, someone who truly understands and supports your journey. Remember, therapy is a collaborative process, and the right connection can make all the difference.
consultations:
your opportunity
to interview
Many therapists offer consultations, which are your chance to explore whether a therapist feels like the right match. Think of it as an interview—not just for them, but for you. Use this time to ask questions, share a bit about what you’re looking for, and pay attention to how you feel during the conversation. Trust your gut! If something feels off or you sense a lack of connection, it’s completely okay to keep searching.
trust your instincts
Your feelings matter. Therapy requires vulnerability, so if a therapist makes you feel uneasy or you struggle to trust them, you deserve the chance to find someone else who feels like a better fit. It’s perfectly acceptable—and even encouraged—to prioritize your comfort and safety.
do your research
Websites, therapist bios, and reviews can offer valuable insights into a therapist’s approach, specialties, and personality. Take the time to read through profiles and see who resonates with you. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask questions—no question is too small or insignificant when it comes to your mental health.
you always have a choice
Some organizations may assign you a therapist to start, but remember—you always have the choice to continue or request someone different. If you feel unheard, unsafe, or unable to open up, it’s okay to advocate for yourself and ask for another referral. Therapy should feel supportive, not stressful.
Don’t lose hope
Finding the right therapist can take time, but don’t get discouraged. Your mental health is worth the effort. The right therapist is out there, and the journey to finding them is a meaningful step toward healing and growth.
