Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you are already dealing with stress, uncertainty, or big life changes. You may be wondering:

How do I know if this person will really understand me?
What should I ask before committing?
How can I feel confident in my choice?

The truth is, choosing a therapist is not just about picking the first profile you see online. It is about finding someone who feels like a safe, supportive, and trusted partner in your journey.

This is why I created my free guide, “Questions to Ask a Therapist.” It will help you walk into that first conversation feeling prepared and empowered.

Why Asking Questions Matters

Therapy works best when there is a strong fit between you and your therapist. Asking thoughtful questions up front can help you:

  • Understand their approach and style

  • Get clear on expectations

  • Learn about policies, fees, and logistics

  • Ensure they have the right experience for your needs

  • Feel confident you have found the right match

This is not about impressing a therapist. It is about making sure they are the right fit for you.
