Seeking counseling.

 

Where do you begin when seeking counseling?

Finding a therapist who is right for you is not always easy. You may be reluctant to ask friends, your doctor may not be as helpful as you would like, and professional associations give you names but no recommendations.

I suggest reading the websites of a few therapists, and then get in touch with the ones who seem a good match for dealing with your issues. Ask as many questions as needed until you feel confident in your decision.

It is very important to feel both safe and comfortable with your counselor as well as confident in their professional qualifications. A therapist's or life coach's personality and approach should fit your needs and objectives.
