Find the Right Therapist for You and Your Needs

5 Tips for Choosing the Right Therapist

1. Credentials & Licensing

Ensure that the therapist is licensed to practice in your state or country. Look for qualifications such as Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (AMFT, Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW), Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) or Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PsyD). 

2. Specialization & Experience

Consider the therapist's specialization and experience in the area that aligns with your needs. Some therapists specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, while others focus on specific populations, like children or LGBTQ+ individuals.

3. Therapeutic Approach

Research the therapist's therapeutic approach and philosophy. Do they use evidence-based techniques, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, or Psychodynamic Therapy? Consider how you like to relate to people and how different therapist might work for you.

4. Compatibility & Rapport

A strong therapeutic relationship is crucial. Schedule an initial consultation or phone call to assess if you feel comfortable and connected with the therapist. Trust your intuition in deciding if they are a good fit for you.

5. Cost & Insurance

Determine the therapist's fees and whether they accept your insurance. Our Scheduling staff will always be clear about the cost of sessions before your first appointment.
