Finding a Counsellor

Find a Counsellor that's a good fit. Research shows that change principally results from your input and participation.

Guidelines:

1. If you do not like your Counsellor/Therapist, find another one.
2. If you think your Counsellor/Therapist does not like you, understand you, or appreciate your point of view, find another Counsellor/Therapist.
3. If you do not agree with the goals of the Counsellor/Therapist, or do not think they are your goals, find another Counsellor/Therapist.
4. If you do not agree with the opinions or suggestions of your Counsellor/Therapist and he or she will not alter the approach, find another Counsellor/Therapist.
5. If you think your Counsellor/Therapist sees your problem or situation as hopeless or unchangeable, find another Counsellor/Therapist.
6. If you are asking for something in therapy (for example, feedback, suggestions) and not getting it, or are told that more time and / or testing is required, find another Counsellor/Therapist.
7. If you do not get something positive going within three sessions and you have any doubts whatsoever, find another Counsellor/Therapist.
8. Inform yourself before taking medication. If anyone tells you that you have a biochemical imbalance, discuss what that really means. If you believe that medication is the right choice for you after you are fully informed, then do it.
