Takeaways

  • Therapy can be beneficial for anyone, but it is especially important if your mental health symptoms are getting in the way of your day-to-day functioning.
  • Therapy focuses on depth work and understanding the root causes of mental health issues, while coaching tends to focus more on the present moment and helping you move forward.
  • When looking for a therapist, consider how you want to pay (insurance or out-of-pocket), the therapist's specialization and expertise, and whether you feel a connection and trust with them.
  • If therapy is not working out or you feel it's not the right fit, have an open and honest conversation with your therapist. They can help you find a better fit or adjust the therapy to better meet your needs.
  • Virtual therapy offers flexibility in terms of time and location, but in-person therapy can provide a more personal and face-to-face connection.
