Are you struggling to find the right therapist in a large city? R. Eric Thomas offers some valuable advice on how to navigate the overwhelming number of options available. To start, think about your goals for therapy and use websites like PsychologyToday.com to filter therapists based on criteria that are important to you, such as specialization or experience with certain populations.
Familiarize yourself with different types of therapy offered, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or internal family systems, to better understand what may work best for you. During a consultation with a therapist, ask questions about their style and approach to ensure it aligns with your needs.
Don’t be afraid to continue asking questions and giving feedback throughout the process. Finding the right therapist is a collaborative effort and it may take some time to find a match that works for you. Don’t get discouraged by any trial and error, as it’s worth the time and effort to find a therapist that resonates with you.
