Getting help finally, maybe.....

Good for you! I’m happy for you. Some advice. You may or may not find the first counselor you see a good fit. And that’s ok. If not, just ask the receptionist up front to assign you another one. They won’t be hurt. It’s all part of the process. You want to feel comfortable with them to get the most benefit. I usually know within the first few weeks to a month if we are going to be a good match. Sometimes you have to go through a few to find the right one. Try not to get frustrated and don’t give up! Once you find the right one, it can be such a great experience. Once I found the right one, we were together for years and she helped me immensely!! Also, open as much as you feel comfortable. Just remember what you say is confidential and they are there to help you. They aren’t going to judge you. So the more you open up, the more than can help you feel better. Good luck friend. I wish you the very best! 

Thanks Krissy:

     I appreciate the heads up about trying different counselors, this is my first run through, I was really worried I'd end up with some apathetic prat and be stuck with them lol.
