If you have ever typed \u201ctherapy near me\u201d into the search box, you know there are many options\u2014perhaps too many options. It can feel confusing and overwhelming. As a mental health company offering therapy and medication management in northern California, we believe that it\u2019s important for people to know their options. We wrote this blog to help demystify the process.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, one in five people struggle with mental illness yet many of these people do not receive support. Support does exist. Therapists are licensed professionals who provide mental health support, diagnoses, treatment plans, and resources.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will offer steps on how to find a therapist. We\u2019ll also cover what to see a therapist for and provide three reminders for finding the right person.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14190\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14190\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14190\" src=\"https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-3.jpg\" alt=\"Finding A Therapist\" width=\"340\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-3.jpg 340w, https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-3-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-3-20x16.jpg 20w, https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-3-190x154.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14190\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are steps you can take to finding the right therapist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>How Does Finding a Therapist Work?<\/h3>\n<p>Therapy can help people feel understood, seen, and supported with a general \u201cgame plan\u201d for the curveballs life tends to throw. It can be hard to find a therapist, but there are many people available for new patients.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are three steps that can make the process easier.<\/h3>\n<h4>Step One: Ask Yourself Key Therapy Questions<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that right now is a hard time for you\u2014for a million reasons. Take five\u2013ten minutes to write down a few of the core struggles you are experiencing, as well as what kind of therapist you want. It\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t know if you struggle with a specific diagnosis or not. Just reflect.<\/p>\n<p>Questions to consider are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Are you seeking therapy for yourself or on behalf of a couple?<\/li>\n<li>What are your general symptoms or concerns?<\/li>\n<li>Are you considering or curious about medication?<\/li>\n<li>Do you want in-person therapy or teletherapy?<\/li>\n<li>Some places like <a title=\"National American Mental Health Services\" href=\"https:\/\/namhs.com\/how-can-we-help-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National American Mental Health Services<\/a> offer both.<\/li>\n<li>Do you have a preference for the gender, sexuality, race, or age of your therapist?<\/li>\n<li>Ex. Many women prefer female therapists. People of color who want to explore how racism also impacts their mental health may opt for choosing a therapist of color.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Take time to explore these basic questions. It will help you narrow your search, as you consider which places to contact.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step Two: Understand Your Insurance Coverage<\/h4>\n<p>Do you have insurance? If so, keep your insurance card handy during the search process. Narrow your search so you are only seeing therapy providers who your insurance covers will save you a lot of time and hassle. One easy way to do this is by <a title=\"Finding A Therapist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/find-care\/specialty\/mental-health?utm_source=hl&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=mentalwellbeing&amp;utm_content=standoutwidget&amp;utm_term=how-to-find-a-therapist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using an advanced search<\/a> that can filter by insurance providers.<\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t using an advanced search that filters based on insurance providers, you can always call or email your top choices and ask if they accept your insurance.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not have insurance, it can be more expensive to find adequate care. Similar to the advice in the previous paragraph, you can always call or email the place offering mental health services and ask for a cost estimate.<\/p>\n<p>There are also community-supported mental health providers, as well as <a title=\"Finding A Therapist\" href=\"https:\/\/findtreatment.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">directories that let you search for sliding scale<\/a> options. If you want to understand what free services may exist for you, contact the <a title=\"Finding A Therapist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Alliance on Mental Illness<\/a> any time, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.<\/p>\n<h4>Step Three: Search for Therapists by Specialty<\/h4>\n<p>There are so many tools online to make it easy to narrow your search. For example, if you think that you may struggle with addiction, then you may want to find a therapist who is familiar with addiction. Also, it\u2019s important to remember during the search process that <a title=\"Finding Psychologists And Psychiatrists\" href=\"https:\/\/namhs.com\/psychologists-and-psychiatrists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">psychologists and psychiatrists differ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Use a search tool that lets you search for <a title=\"Finding A Therapist By Specialty\" href=\"https:\/\/namhs.com\/which-type-of-provider-is-right-for-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">therapists by specialty<\/a>. You might want to consider your location too\u2013especially if you want in-person therapy. For example, if you are looking for a therapist in Redding, California, that is a much more specific search than a general search for \u201cavailable therapists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>These three steps make finding the right therapy provider easier.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14194\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14194\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14194\" src=\"https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-5.jpg\" alt=\"Finding A Therapist\" width=\"340\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-5.jpg 340w, https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-5-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-5-190x126.jpg 190w, https:\/\/namhs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/finding-a-therapist-5-20x13.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14194\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Remember: a therapist is there to service you.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>What Can You See a Therapist For?<\/h3>\n<p>Some people believe that everyone would be better off with a therapist.
