Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Picking the right therapist to work with could be the most crucial part of the entire process. I know there are a lot of professionals in the mental health field, and quite a few acronyms after their names. Unless you work in this field it can be a challenge to decide who/what is the best professional to help you with your concerns. With this in mind I have written an entire article that defines each role (LMHC, LCSW, Psychologist, Psychiatrist, and others). I also give a great deal of additional information and tips that will help you make the best choice for you and your situation.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

In addition to having the everyday imperfections we all face in life, I have a genetic condition that has slowly taken my sight. I was born with normal vision, and didn't really start to lose it until my early 20s. At this point I can see little more than shapes and shades of gray. This has taught me over the years to think in a solution focused way. There are some things in life that won't change, but very few that can't at least be improved. In addition to this positive attitude about what's possible, my blindness also limits the visual distractions most people aren't even aware they have. Listening is a skill most therapists (should) develop. For me it's a way of life.
