Considerations before you begin your search
Once you’ve decided you’d like to begin mental health therapy you may need to clarify a few details. Some of these considerations include:
- Would I prefer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or the option for either?
- Should I look for a therapist that specialized in a specific concern?
- Am I seeking a specific type of therapy approach?
- Do I need a therapist that accepts insurance or direct bills to insurance?
Part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself—to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life.
