Finding the Right Therapist: What's the Best Way to Begin Your Search?

There are a lot of therapist located throughout the country but not every therapist is the best person to help every individual seeking treatment. Using online directories, search engines, or an insurance company's online list of covered providers, those seeking services can locate therapists (either in their area or those who provide online therapy). See Below:

• Psychology Today Directory

• Therapy Den

• Therapy for Black Men

• Therapy for Black Girls

Don't feel rushed to make a quick decision as well, make sure that you feel that the therapist you are consulting with is potentially a good fit and their experience aligns with your needs. It can be very helpful to make a list of a few potential therapists you would like to work with and take steps towards setting up your first appointment/consultation.

The Turtle, Not the Rabbit

By all means, go at your own pace. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable or something feels off when consulting, make a note of that and continue going down your list.
