You've made the decision and you're aware that something is going on with you and you
need to talk to a professional. I'm Virginia Intelisano, Mental Health Counselor, Registered
Intern with the State of Florida and I'm here to talk to you today about how to find a therapist.
The biggest thing that you've accomplished is that you've decided that you need help.
You've accepted that and you're aware that something is going on and you don't know how
to deal with. You might want to try looking into group therapy first. Group therapy can
help because other people come together with similar problems and talk to you about how
they're feeling. You might find symmetry in their feelings and your feelings. One way
that you can find group therapy sessions is by contacting your local non-profit organization,
which is going to be a mental health organization and they can point you in the right direction.
These types of places usually offer counseling sessions on an individual basis, couple basis
or group basis on a slighting scale fee. This is base on your income. Also, if you have
insurance you can contact your local insurance provider to help you find one in your area.
The other thing you want to do is be sure to talk to friends and family members if you
feel comfortable in doing so and getting word of mouth. Finding a counselor is like finding
a good pair of shoes. You might have to try on a couple before you find the right one
that you get along with, but the perfect pair of shoes is out there. I'm Virginia Intelisano
helping you everyday find help in the community. Be safe and be sane, it's imperative. And
if you've any questions about this information, please contact the doctor or a local professional
in your area. Thank you.
