How do I know if a provider is the right fit for me?
A good place to start is to consider your specific needs and priorities. Think about what you hope to get out of your experience. Here are a few questions to ask yourself.
● Does the provider have experience working with issues like mine?
● Is it important that the provider share similar cultural identities to me, such as race, gender, or spirituality?
● Can the provider accommodate my mobility needs, such as having an elevator or first-floor access with no-step entry?
● Does the provider speak the language(s) I feel most comfortable speaking when I express my emotions?
● Is the provider available when I am?
You can use our filters to find providers who match your answers to the above questions. Ultimately, the provider who is right for you is someone who feels trustworthy and who is well-equipped to help you meet your goals. Just like with any relationship, some providers are a good fit for some clients, and some aren't.
One way to assess fit is to see how you feel during your first contact with the provider. Many providers require an initial consultation call before you can schedule an appointment with them. This way you can see if they are a good fit before you start working together. It’s a good idea to be prepared with a list of questions you want to ask so that you can make an informed decision.
Many providers check in with their clients to see how therapy is going so that you can adjust accordingly. If they don’t ask, we encourage you to give your provider feedback about what’s working and not working along the way. At any point, if you decide you aren’t getting your needs met, you are welcome to search MiResource for someone else who will be a better fit. In the end, you meeting your goals is what is important.
