Finding a therapist can be like dating: You have to put yourself out there, maybe go on a few dates and it can be really scary! In this episode, Ellie Herringshaw and her life-long friend Dr. Kristen Eliason, Ph.D. talk about how to find a good therapist and what you can expect in your first therapy appointment. Dr. Eliason recommends trying out a few therapists before making a final decision.
