What should I look for in a Therapist?

Think about the most embarrassing moment in your life. If you can’t tell your therapist about it, then you might want to reevaluate your relationship with them. Here are some things to look for when you are starting your relationship with a therapist:

• They are of current happenings especially around social justice

• They don’t jump to giving advice

• They create an atmosphere of safety

• They challenge you

• They allow you to ask questions

• They ask for feedback on how sessions are going

• They don’t pretend to be the expert of your life

Does your therapist possess some or all of the qualities on this list? Then you’re in great hands!
