Choosing
a therapist, whether online or from an insurance providerlist, can be a daunting task.
The first step is determining which type of therapist you need. The
therapists listed in our directory provide their license or certification
information which is available to the consumer for verification through
Florida's regulating body.
Decide whether you want to see a therapist in their office, or use online or 'eTherapy' and consult with
a therapist online. Our online therapy site.
There are many types of licensed mental health professionals, differing in educational backgrounds, training,
licensure philosophy and technique. Regardless of the degree, you should always interview a prospective
therapist about their experience and training with similar concerns to yours.
Many of us enter therapy hoping to get some quick relief from the distress that we are experiencing. We
are aware that therapy is costing us a lot in terms of time, money, and energy and we want to see some
immediate results, especially when we are in pain.
It is important that you talk with your therapist about your expectations and needs from therapy. A good
therapist will welcome this, and want to empower you, not make you dependent. Just like any relationship,
the more you know and can express what you want, the better chance you will have of receiving that.
You may be entering therapy for the first time and not have a sense of what needs to happen other than
you want to feel better. It is important to express this as well. Here is a list of what we have seen to be
true for many people.
Remember that therapy, in the hands of a skilled therapist, is a powerful and life-changing experience.
It has been shown to be effective for a variety of illnesses and problems. If you need therapy and work
as an active participant in your own treatment, you can expect it will be well worth the time and money
you invest. Use our Directory to find a therapist.
