How to Find a Therapist
Finding the right therapist for you can be difficult. Part of the challenge is the national shortage of healthcare professionals in almost every specialty. There are simply not enough highly qualified therapists available for the number of people looking to improve their quality of life through therapy. Another issue is affordability, some therapists do not accept insurance or do not accept many new patients. These factors create structural barriers to accessing care.
Let’s say the above are not an issue for you. How do you know if the person you scheduled an appointment with is actually the right therapist for you? There are many factors to consider and weigh and it helps to make an informed decision. Check out our user guides below, to help you make the important decision about which therapist may be the best fit for you at this time.

What if I don’t know how to talk to people during COVID-19?
Meaningful relationships bring love and joy to our lives, but they can also bring hardship and disagreement. When facing a conflict with someone you care about, you might feel tempted to ignore it because of the discomfort you’d feel addressing the problem. Or maybe you tend toward confrontation, determined to let the person know how they’ve impacted you and how you feel about it.
I want my life back! New rules for living with COVID
In the wise words of one of my clients, “2020 has been…a lot.” Very rarely do events impact our collective cultural consciousness in the way the events of this year appear to have touched us: the sudden death of Kobe Bryant, a worldwide pandemic, economic downturn, and increased awareness about the systemic injustices Black folks face in this country.
