When thinking about how to find a therapist, it’s important to consider local resources, apps, organizations, and reliable online therapy options. Here’s everything you need to know.
A referral from a friend, colleague, or doctor you trust is another way to find a therapist who might be a good fit for you.
While a referral is a good place to start, it’s important to recognize that you may have different needs and goals with your therapy than the person giving you the recommendation.
A number of mental health organizations maintain up-to-date, searchable databases of licensed therapists.
Your search could start as simply as typing in your ZIP code to generate a list of counselors in your area. You may also be able to search for specialists, like marriage and family counselors or therapists who focus on drug and alcohol use.
If you’re part of a specific community, there may be some resources available.
Some examples include:
students with access to a university counseling center
a workplace wellness or employee assistance program
group or one-on-one therapy through a local advocacy organization
faith-based treatment through a church, synagogue, mosque, or other worship center
Additionally, depending on where you live, there may be local support groups or organizations you can attend at neighborhood meeting spots, like a community center.
⚠️If you struggle in your personal life and notice its impact on your daily functioning,it is important to seek further support.
