Finding the right therapist is about feeling connected, comfortable, and understood. Here are a few ways to know you’ve found a good fit:
Notice how you feel in your first session. Do you feel listened to, respected, and unrushed? A strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in progress.
Look at their specialty and approach.
Whether it’s CBT, trauma-informed care, or EMDR, their expertise should align with your needs.
Be honest — with yourself and your therapist.
Therapy is most effective when you can show up authentically. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to speak up or explore other options.
The right therapist will feel safe, supportive, and truly invested in your growth.
