This article is spot on.
Your child’s mental health is critical and whomever you hire to help them, they must be a good fit . Your child needs to be feel heard, valued and comfortable adding whomever you choose into their safe space.
Set clear goals together and progress needs to be seen even in baby steps.
Make sure your mental health professional has experience and references they can share which are current.
As a mental health care provider, I think of what I would expect as a parent. So I also get current background and fingerprint checks for when I go to schools and homes to assist.
Safety emotionally and physically is key for your and your child.
You deserve to see results and progress, a flexible mindset as issues arise and especially working with children and teens, and feel confident you and your child feel heard. 💚
Never lower your standards as our emotional wellbeing and mental health are connected strongly to our physical health, academic success and any career/jobs we pursue.

Finding the right therapist for your child can take time, and sometimes, the first (or second) provider just isn't the right fit. Ahead, experts walk parents through the signs that it may be time to switch therapists, how to handle the transition with care, and what to look for in a new provider.
