I recently had a conversation with a friend that had been looking for a couples therapist for a very long time. He and his wife have very specific criteria for the kind of therapist they want. They found the perfect therapist after six months of searching but were unable to come to their second session. The therapist had told them they had to be committed to the process and so she told them she would not see them again as she felt they were not all in. At this point I told him, that the great about finding a virtual therapist is you can see them live on their websites and read about their philosophy. I advised him to request an initial meeting in order to see if they feel that therapist has something they can relate to and would be able to work well with them. This is exactly the reason that I offer a FREE 20 minute consultation to see if there is a good fit and that clients are comfortable and want to move forward..
My friend told me that he needed at least 50 choices like this and I sadly told him at this point in time in his area, Northern California he may only find one or two.The point is, as virtual therapists become more and more common you will be able to shop online and find the person that you feel best suits your needs, goals and personality.
Be well,
