Deeper Insight into Finding the Right Therapist Fit

You may be new to the process of finding a therapist or deep into the search process. You feel unsure about who to choose. This is totally understandable as starting therapy with someone you don’t know can be intimidating. You might be feeling you want to make the right choice for your therapist to avoid having to start with someone new because it didn’t work out with your first choice. To help you, I offer you some additional insight below to support you in making a decision. You have many therapists to sort through and it can be overwhelming to choose.

I hope this helps!
