When finding a therapist there are several things you should consider. Here are a few...
- Do they accept my insurance? Will you bill directly? What are your fees if I don't want to use insurance?
- Do I have a modality of therapy that I prefer?
- Does the therapist specialize in what I am seeking (treating trauma, anxiety, etc)?
- Can the therapist meet at a time that is manageable for me?
Once choosing a therapist, it will be important to ensure that you can build rapport with them. A trusting relationship is key in therapy!
