How to choose the right therapist?
Where to Start?
I strongly believe that the bond between a therapist and a client is of utmost importance. When you find the therapist that resonates with you,, it’s like finding fertile soil where you can plant a seed and nurture a healthy tree, with the anticipation of a bountiful harvest in the future.
If this is your first time seeking a therapist and you’re unsure about what to look for, there’s no need to worry as it’s completely normal. Please watch the video below, where I explain how I assist my clients during their initial session in order to ensure they make the right choice when selecting a therapist.
Finding the right therapist
I believe that choosing the right therapist is essential for success. That’s why, when a new client comes to my clinic, I encourage them to be selective. Sometimes, therapists may schedule an assessment that can make you feel like you’re being evaluated to meet certain criteria. However, I prefer to see it as a time spent together, where I can understand what led you to seek therapy and what you envision for your life. I aim to identify any obstacles that may hinder your progress and determine if my expertise is the right fit for your needs. If not, I will gladly provide my professional opinion on a more suitable direction for you to explore.
While I fulfil these responsibilities, it’s crucial for you to experience me as your therapist. I want you to feel the connection between us and gauge whether you can envision embarking on a journey of healing, self-discovery, or personal growth with me by your side. It’s perfectly alright if you don’t feel that connection. In fact, that’s the whole point. I don’t take it personally. Your focus should be on attending to your own needs and trusting your intuition, as it is the most important factor at this stage.
You can share your thoughts with me right away, or you can take some time to reflect on the experience. Sometimes, it’s helpful to let the feelings and sensations settle in your body, and then let me know your decision a few days later. Don’t worry about remembering all of this information. I will guide you step by step during our session.
