You know your needs better than anyone else and your counselor should be a good fit for you. The relationship with your counselor is significant to the therapeutic process. The more comfortable you are with a counselor, the more you'll want to talk to them about the things that are important to you.
When choosing a counselor you might want to consider what would make you most comfortable. Do you prefer working with a female counselor? An older or younger counselor? A religious or non-religious counselor? One with cultural competency?
At Oaks Family Counseling, we have many different counselors so we can match you with the one who will help you have the best therapy experience.
