I want to find a counselor or therapist. What are some things I should consider? It is important to identify a counselor who is able to help you to integrate your spiritual and religious beliefs and practices into your treatment.
Ask friends, family, and your church community to see if they have someone they would recommend. Choosing the right person is important, much like you would choose a doctor. What should you look for?
Do I need to see a Catholic counselor or therapist? Strive for one with a Christian or Catholic theology.
Review the websites of the counselors or therapists. This will inform you about insurance, fees, and if they are taking new clients. If you have any doubts, please call them.
You can interview the therapist you would like to go to. Take some time before your first appointment to write down some questions you may have, especially if it is your first time seeking therapy.
Review for licensing and any complaints they may have. You can research information on the following websites:
