How do you know if your therapist is the right fit? 🤔 Finding the right therapist can be a journey. Kimberly from our mental health team shares a few guiding questions to ask yourself after your first session: 1. Do I feel comfortable opening up to them? 2. Do they show empathy, or do I feel judged? 3. Can they truly understand my situation? If you're ever unsure, it's okay to seek a better match. Care Solace is here to help you find a provider who meets your needs and makes you feel heard. #MentalHealthMatters #TherapyJourney #Therapy #FindTheRightFit #ItsOkayToAskForHelp
