If you struggle with depression, then you know seeking help can sometimes feel daunting. However, if your depression is making it hard to function in your daily life, it’s time to consider therapy. A therapist can help you understand what you’re feeling, as well as equip you with the tools you need to navigate and work through your depression so you can live a happier, healthier life. Finding a therapist that’s a good match can be tough, but Philly Family Life Counseling, LLC is here with some tips on how to find a therapist for depression.
What to Look for in a Depression Therapist
When it comes to finding a therapist that meets your needs, it may take you a few tries, but it’s important to not get discouraged; just like most relationships you try in your life, not every person is compatible with the same therapist, and that’s okay! However, there are a few things to look for when trying out a depression therapist:
- A good therapist is unbiased and not judgmental. Therapists might offer advice and insight, and should be honest with you, but they should never make you feel uncomfortable or judged.
- A helpful therapist will offer you the tools you need to cope with what you’re going through, both in and out of your sessions.
- The right therapist will provide a warm space for you to feel safe being open and truthful about what you are feeling.
- Your therapist should make you feel comfortable receiving tough and honest feedback about what you need to focus on or be aware of as you try to work through your feelings of depression.
- The right therapist will help you have a better understanding of yourself, your emotional state, your limits, and your boundaries.
- Therapy should make you feel like you are working toward a better future and more assured sense of self.
