THE CHOICE...
One of my clients said that she wished that choosing a therapist was like finding a new puppy. You get a sense of the breeding, temperament and capability and then you know from a heartfelt connection that you have the right one. Here you must decide from an exhaustive list of similar sounding credentials. So what I want to offer is some background and then hopefully you can have the experience she wished for everyone.

Immediate virtual availability. Life is dynamic and at any point, having the support of an individual with an outside, neutral, perspective can be helpful. While friends are great for venting to, after about 15 minutes, their eyes may glaze over and they kind of want their turn to vent (or change the subject); with therapy you get almost an hour of identifying problems, but also solutions in a warm, supportive (evidence-based) environment.
