Am I a Fit for You? Are You a Fit for Me?
When you’re considering getting help, not all therapists are the same, and it’s important to find someone who is a good fit for you. Read below to see if we would be a good fit!
We Will Probably Be a Good Fit If:
You are looking for a therapist who is interactive, supportive, and offering you feedback vs. a more passive, largely silent listening style.
You think of a therapist as someone to support, encourage, and challenge you to grow, including sometimes offering feedback about how you see yourself, others, and move through your life.
You are interested in therapy as a means for self-exploration, and find it generally helpful to think and share about yourself, your life and your struggles.
You value getting to know yourself more deeply through therapy, not just seeing it as a “fix” for discrete problems.
You are interested in the idea of growing, maturing, and evolving yourself as a person, and think of therapy—and your therapist—as a companion on that journey.
You recognize that growth and navigating challenging life problems takes a certain level of commitment in therapy, and you are prepared to do so.
We Might Not be as Good a Fit if You:
Are looking for a therapist who works from a “doctor” approach whose main purpose is to give you a diagnosis, advice, or try to “fix” your problems.
Are seeking therapy primarily because of pressure from another person to attend, but wouldn’t be likely to do it otherwise.
Would not have time or circumstances to make therapy a part of a regular commitment to developing yourself.
Are looking for a therapist who exclusively does CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy)
Think primarily of a client-therapist fit in terms of proximity to where you live without consideration of the other “fit” factors listed in the section above.
