98 — The Ultimate Guide to Finding a Therapist That's a Good Match for You Amy Morin 21:08

It’s tough to find a therapist sometimes. The last thing you want to do when you’re stressed out or battling a mental health issue is research how to find someone you can talk to. But if you just go with the first therapist you find, you might find they’re not the best match for you.

If you find someone you trust and respect, your mental health is much more likely to improve. In this episode, I share concrete steps for finding the best mental health treatment either online or in person.
