How to decide on a counselor

The decision to begin counseling is an important one.  You want to choose a therapist who has the right kind of experience and with whom you feel comfortable.  Sometimes it helps to call and have a conversation by phone before deciding if any counselor is the right fit for you.  You also may want to make your decision based on the therapist's experience.

A counselor is not a doctor and cannot provide medications. For a specialist in psychiatric disorders requiring medications, you must contact a psychiatrist.

You may want to call your insurance company to see if the counselor is a provider in your network.

You also may want to ask a friend, pastor, guidance counselor,  or doctor who they recommend.
