How do I know if I should change providers?
Making a great connection with a provider is exciting. We trust their approach, feel safe opening up to them, and make progress toward our goals. Not all providers and clients are a good fit though.
If you are not feeling a connection with your provider and it’s getting in the way of you meeting your goals, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
● Do I feel supported? A good provider will challenge you, yet will do so with compassion and understanding.
● Does my provider listen to me and understand what I say?
● Is my provider reliable?
● Does my provider push their own values on me?
● Am I making progress toward my goals?
● Does my therapist just tell me what to do rather than teaching me the skills to find my own solutions?
● Does my provider have the expertise to treat my issues?
● Is my provider crossing any boundaries that make me feel uncomfortable?
Change doesn’t happen overnight, but you should feel a change after a few months, not years. If your provider is saying it will take a few years, then you should be able to discuss this openly with your provider and come up with a better solution. If not, you should consider seeing a different provider.
When you are ready to search for another provider, we are here for you. Our filters will help you narrow down your search and make a better match.
