If you’ve been considering finding a therapist, darling, let me be the first to say how proud I am of you. Taking this step is a beautiful act of self-care, and I’m here to guide you through it with a simple, and easy approach—whether you’re meeting with someone in-person or virtually. Trust me, we can all benefit from speaking with a professional who isn’t wrapped up in our daily lives. It’s perfectly okay, and often essential, to seek out that unbiased support.
Let’s begin with an easy step: head over to Psychology Today’s website and enter your zip code. This will set you on the path to finding a therapist who’s just the right match for you.
Now, darling, you’ll want to refine your search. Filter by insurance, or if you’re without coverage, look for therapists who offer a sliding scale. It’s also wise to pay attention to their specialties—whether you’re navigating PTSD, OCD, anxiety, or any other concern, there’s a therapist out there who’s perfectly equipped to support you.
Once you’ve found a few promising candidates, don’t hesitate to reach out via email or phone. Simply inquire if they’re currently accepting new clients. If their schedules are full, don’t be discouraged. The right therapist for you is out there, ready and waiting.
For my friends in the military or those who have served, the process is even more streamlined. Just visit your doctor and ask for a referral. They’ll take care of the details, ensuring you’re connected with someone who understands your unique journey.
And here’s a little insider tip: many therapists offer complimentary consultations. Take advantage of these sessions to see if the fit feels right before making a commitment. After all, this is your journey, and finding the right companion on this path is absolutely key.
I’m genuinely excited for you to embark on this journey. Speaking with someone who can offer unbiased guidance and support can be nothing short of transformative. I’m sending you all the love and encouragement as you take this step—you’re doing something truly wonderful for yourself.
P.S. I’m so thrilled for you. Here’s my love and support on your beautiful journey.
xoxo,
Aloha Alicia & Co 💌
