Frequently asked questions

Finding a good fit is important in order to have a positive experience in therapy. Often people make their selection by identifying a particular speciality. However lots of therapists offer services for similar presenting concerns. At that point it may come down to going to see someone because of a recommendation from a trusted friend or simply because the picture and the biography look interesting. An initial phone consultation is common which should provide some insight regarding whether it is someone with whom you can develop a solid connection. The connection is instrumental in getting better - after all if you don’t trust your therapist then you are not likely to listen to what they have to say or follow through with their recommendations.
