Finding a Therapist, Counselor, or Psychologist in Tampa FL
Tampa, FL is a top spot for vacations and really cool attractions, it can be a great place to visit and live! However, just because a lot of it is really beautiful and has great attractions, doesn’t necessarily cut out the fact that people who live here year-round need support. I know it can be difficult finding the right therapist for the struggle you are facing and sometimes even one that fits with our personalities. I’m here to help. I’d like to help you find someone who you can connect with and who can help in a way that meets your needs.
I want to help you find a therapist in Tampa
Often times when people are searching for help, they start to wonder about what kind of help they may need. Do they want to see a therapist, a life coach? And what’s the difference anyway? In my opinion, both can be very helpful, depending on what you are looking to do. Life coaching can help when you are needing some direction for your life and are looking to have someone work with you on a goal or a plan. Therapy can be helpful when you are wanting to see something more broadly change in your life. For example, because I work with anxiety and trauma using EMDR therapy, the clients I work with start coming to therapy when they start to notice that stuff from their past bubbles up in their daily life. They are feeling anxious, frustrated, and sometimes even depressed and they can typically trace it back to feeling this way for most of their life coming from a lot of the messages they received as they grew into adults.
If you have decided that you are looking for a therapist there are a couple of things to keep in mind and places you may want to look.
Understand what you’re wanting to go into therapy to work on, and what you want to see differently. You don’t have to have it all mapped out just yet, but having a good idea will help you find a professional that specializes in what you need.
Check spaces like TherapyDen to see if you find a therapist you jive with (it’s helpful sometimes to go beyond Psychology Today).
When you‘ve found someone who you might be a match, check out their website and see how it feels. Do you feel a connection?
