If you think you need it, likely yes but finding the right therapist who meshes with you is absolutely crucial. You have to do your research and also understand that with the world essentially on fire that lots of therapists are booked up. I've spoken to people who have just not worked with me personality wise and others who I've thought were just shitty.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us is a good start. You can sort by what you're looking for and who might take your insuance. A tip: create a spreadsheet with who you've contacted, their response and whether they offered a referral. Treat it like job hunting. You're going to need to reach out to a lot of people. Most will get back to you within a business day, but it's been my experience that nearly 3/4ths of therapists on that site who say they have openings do not in fact have openings. Be picky and trust your gut on your initial consult.
Best of luck
Thanks for the website and tips! It really helps take the stress off of the search itself.
The searching is the worst part. Be methodical so you don't get overwhelmed!
Yeah, I've been applying to software developer jobs lately. This all sounds very familiar. At least I have a system. Haha!
I'll try to take it one step at a time.
