Me I do not know that's why I'm here I'm medicated through my MD. Your advice is great and yeah overwhelming.

I just got diagnosed with bipolar and I have bad experience with therapists who are either plain stupid or the university counselors who were too busy to give me more than 6 appointments and made the police cuff me and put me in a police car when I was manic.

They just wnat some of your money. Hardly good therapists or 'geniune' (not the acting fake ones) ones are found.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist in Washington State, I really appreciated seeing this video. It is packed with information for people to use if they are looking to find a good therapist. I am planning to include it on my list of resources to give clients, since my practice is full, and I get lots of people needing help. Thank you so much for creating this helpful tool!

Comments like yours from colleagues in the field mean the world to me. Thanks for taking the time to share this with me!

I like how this therapist focuses on transparency.

It’s SO hard!!!!! I have actually had attitude from therapists that I told I didn’t think would be a good fit for myself….unbelievable. I need a good therapist badly. 😫

Someone who would respond to you that way is acting very unprofessionally, IMO. A therapist of value would respect the fact that you know yourself well enough to have gleaned that the two of you were incompatible.

Oh my, how I wish I had this vidio years ago! When your depressed is when you realize I've got to find some help, but unfortunately depression greatly affects your brain function and ability to think things through! When I'm riding high and and my brain power is up to par, I'm playing catch up on all the things I couldn't do, the last thing I want to do is spend the day frying to figure out all the stuff your explaining in this vidio! Thank you for this vidio, I'm sure it will be very helpful for all those struggling to stay alive while deeply entrenched in the darkness of depression!🙂

For me im just scared of discrimination and not getting a actuall professional, so like just getting a person who hates me and adding more trauma to the trauma pile

I completely understand. So what would your ideal therapist look like? Write thos things down. Assign value to each quality. I would make appointments with 3 different therapists for trial meetings Then take someone you trust with you. Now interview them. And add up the value of, your list as well as the things in this video.. and most important tell yourself over and over that you will find the right therapist for you.

The best way to find a good therapist...leave the current one asap when you see it's not working out, don't force it. Also be careful of what you sign, don't give intrusive rights to a therapist that you don't know. If treatment is conditional of giving some rights away, power over you, then walk away

Happy Mental Health Action Day! 🧠

Great vid. The best move I ever made was using Psychology Today and checking their directory for my area and what type of individual I was looking for. Found my therapist match who, as a bonus, is also a psychiatrist. I'm actually sort of upset that I waited so long to make the move!

Counceling centers are a good tip. In my experiencee, they put the most effort in helping you. Some use extremely unorthodox methods, but they are great.

Great vid, sometimes it takes a few tries but theres a good therapist out there for everyone

I like how well is he spoken now and make very good points.

Fantastic information in this video! Thank you for putting this together. Currently looking for a therapist so it's a great help to me.

I've been to at least 5 therapist within 3 years. Initially it was for marital but eventually ended up for personal counseling. A lot of times it became a lot of clock watching to me just asking " can you assist me in finding the correct therapist?". I was eventually told that I was full of ish. So now I just keep my issues inside. I am a veteran and that is dangerous.

Thankyou for your service my friend. I pray you will find the right fit for you. Are you only looking in the V.A.? Maybe you can try outside that system

Thanks for making this. I actively struggle with some mental health issues and I really needed this advice.

Man, If someone is really overwhelmed and mentally a mess (I’ve been there) all the things you mentioned would be so confusing 😕. The good thing is that it's written down at the beginning. If you need help do what you can. Save this video and refer back as needed. If you are considering therapy go for it. It's worth it. I know. I've been there.

To be honest, I think it would be great if there would be some kind of helper like "you got this problem and you seem to be this kind of person. So, it can be presumed that this type of therapy would be ideal for you." I think there is tons of stuff. CBT, Psychoanalysis, Gestalt Therapy, Systemic therapy etc. I think this would be great if there would be such kind of help.

For future reference, there is a service available in Florida, California and the state of Washington called Two Chairs that does just this. You have a meeting with a real therapist via zoom, and that therapist helps to connect you with a provider in their network that’ll be a good fit. They may also give you a few references outside of their network so you can choose the best option for you.

That's interesting how you explain stuff for us... inshallah I'll be a clinical psychologist too 😊

I think this is all great advice, but I have tried this with two drs and they got very defensive. They seemed to think I was questioning there abilities as a therapist😐 after the second time it soured me on trying to find another therapist. It's really a challenging process when dealing with anxiety/depression. I greatly appreciate that your trying to make it easier!🙂

That's a red flag that means they aren't the right one.

A number of therapists will work on a sliding scale. But the more complex your issues, the harder it will be to find a good fit at an affordable price. Sometimes, you might need to start working with one therapist on a particular issue and then change to others over time. This has been my personal experience. If you need a very specialized approach over the long run, you might need to start saving funds in the event that it is more expensive. Not everyone will receive full psychological treatment if their financial resources are strained. But they might still get some relief from shorter term therapy.

Thank You for the very Informative Vid!

Super great video. Really inspiring.

Do you want a nature valley bar? I have too much

can a therapist work with someone with extremely severe depression and anxiety? i did the dass-21 test before medication and got 14, 8, and 7. i was told by my doctor that i need antidepressants to get my symptoms down for a therapist (im on ssris) and i'm 4 weeks in and i see an improvement in anxiety but my depression hasn't really gotten better yet, at this point would it have at least started to and do i have treatment resistant depression, or does it not work at all until after the 6-8 week period?

had same problem as deciding what to choose in 3d vfx or electronic engineering and choose one that i searched a lot about and in the end when i started to study that course the corona came made a mess of my life, activities and now i am doing nothing sitting at my house blaming every thing on myself or the corona or past decision. now i just will make decision and see what will happen if i feel good doing it i will continue as well

On topic of asking if they do CBT, or psychoanalytic etc. Here in germany, they write this on their name plate of their building.

Over the last 6 months, I have lost 90% of the use of my legs, so fatigued (I have only had about an hour of awake time, always dizzy, I pass out constantly if I try to stay away, lost 70 pounds but none of the Dr's. Can figure it out. I've lost hope.

Julie, I'm so sorry to hear about all you're going through right now. If you have a Facebook account, please search for some kind of support group related to your problems, because there are all kinds of Facebook groups relating to all kinds of troubles that people face daily. And people are much more likely to reply to your questions on Facebook then on KZread. I wish you the best of luck and wanted to be sure that you knew that someone out there cares.
