How will I know if my counselor is a good match for me?

First and most importantly does the counselor have training and experience working with someone who has your same concerns or problems.  Take time to read each counselor’s description on the page marked “staff.”  It will offer you some ideas about who might be best for you to work with. 

If you have chosen a counselor and after meeting with him or her have questions about whether they are a good match or not, it would be important to bring that to your next session.  Your counselor will help you clarify any concerns or uncertainties you may have and if you choose will assist you in finding another counselor who would better meet your needs.

Most people feel comfortable with their counselor by the end of the 1st appointment.  If you don’t we ask that you meet for several times to see if you feel more of a connection.  If you don’t we will be happy to transfer to another therapist.
