Choosing Therapy | Choosing A Therapist

You probably found this site because you’re looking for help.

Maybe…

• you’re dealing with an unexpected stressor or a difficult transition.
• you and your partner have hit a rough patch in your relationship.
• you’re having trouble dealing with a mental health diagnosis in the context of family relationships.
• you’ve been hit particularly hard by a loss.
• you’re heading toward a parenting challenge for which you feel unprepared.
• you were in therapy at another point in life and stopped, but new circumstances are a prompting reason to return.

It can be difficult to accept that at times we feel overwhelmed, unsatisfied, or even unexcited about life … but it’s not unusual. And regardless of reason, today, you took a major step toward helping yourself by researching and landing yourself here.

Seeking therapy is the best thing you can do to right your own path and find a guide that leads toward healing (…or at the very least, toward mentally ironing out your difficult life circumstances). But, for people who have never been to therapy, a single word can sum it up: Scary. The process of finding the right therapist can seem daunting, too.

We believe that working with the right therapist is one of the most important components of successful therapy. Your therapist should be someone you trust and feel comfortable with, because the truth is, you’re going to be talking about some difficult stuff together. It’s OK to shop around a little! Doing so will help you get a feel for who can help you best, and make the right decision for yourself and your partner or family.
