I believe a therapist who is a good fit is a person you get a sense that you will feel safe, supported, and connected with while working through what you need to work through. Even though this is often an intuitive process, many people have important preferences. I encourage people to ask the questions they need to ask during a “vibe check” phone call. For those who are new to therapy, I enjoy supporting people through the initial discovery process - even if we arrive at the conclusion that something else would be a better fit. Honesty and transparency are very important to me, and I most of all would like to be helpful!
