Interview Your Therapist: What You Need to Know Before You Book


Listen Later

Your healing is in YOUR hands. And one of the most important decisions you'll make in your healing journey is who you work with. But most people don't know that there are different types of mental health providers. They don't know what questions to ask. They don't even know they're ALLOWED to ask questions.

So let's change that.

Think of this as a friend-to-friend chat from someone who happens to be a therapist. I'm breaking down the different types of mental health providers, giving you questions to ask, and giving you full permission to shop around until you find the right fit.

In this mini-episode, we're covering:

  • The difference between psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists (LCSW, LPC, LMHC)
  • What counselors do vs. licensed therapists
  • The important distinction between "Christian counselors" and "therapists who are Christian"
  • Why therapists specialize (and why that matters for YOU)
  • Specific questions to ask when you're considering a therapist
  • Permission to shop around - not all therapists are the right fit, and that's okay

Not all therapists are created equal. And that's not an insult - it's just the truth. We specialize. We have different training. Different approaches. Different personalities.

And YOU get to decide who's right for YOU.

You deserve a good fit. Your healing is worth it.
