Takeaways

  • Finding the right therapist is important, so be specific about the issues you want to work on and use online search tools and social media to find therapists who specialize in those areas.

  • During the initial consultation, ask questions about the therapist's background, training, and approach, and discuss any specific needs or preferences you have.

  • Be open and honest with your therapist about your goals and what you want them to know about you, and don't be afraid to ask questions or make requests.

  • If after a few sessions it doesn't feel like the right fit, communicate with your therapist and consider finding someone else who is a better match for your needs.

  • Starting therapy is a big step, and it's important to be proud of yourself for taking that step and seeking support for your mental health.
