Why is it important to find the right fit when choosing a therapist?

Every therapist is different and utilizes different modalities and perspectives when counselling. Different people respond to different styles and modalities. We have a team of unique and excellent therapists and we want to help you find the right therapist for YOU!

Some tips to help you ensure you’re with the right therapist are:

To start, know what you’re looking for. Before you begin counselling, or if you’re in counselling now, reevaluate your needs and goals. What are you looking to get out of counselling? Be sure to communicate this to your therapist.
Ask the therapist what modalities they use when counselling and ask them to explain those if you’re unfamiliar, and consider if it would be a good fit with your personality. For example, some therapists use DBT(Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) to help with managing emotions and behaviours or with personality disorders, but there are regimented steps and structure with this style of counselling that may work well for some but not for others. Some clients prefer more structure and some prefer more flexibility.
Do you feel comfortable with the therapist? If you do a free phone consultation, you can evaluate during the call. If not, you can evaluate in session: was the therapist easy to talk to? A good listener? Understanding what you’re trying to communicate? Go with your gut on this one!
Is the therapist available when you are? If the therapist does not have availability that suits you, it may be best to keep looking or ask for a recommendation of someone whose availability better aligns with yours.
We have a team of six therapists who utilize varying modalities, with unique personalities and specialities, and with a wide variety of availability. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation call with our therapists who are accepting new clients! If you do not feel it’s a good fit with the first therapist you have a consultation with, reach out to the office to get set up with another consultation call – no pressure and no strings attached! We want it to be the right fit as well!
