I am a therapist (MS) and I’m currently finishing my PsyD - this was a VERY beautiful video!!! It can be so hard for people to find a therapist and consider all these things ahead of time. Thank you for spreading mental health awareness and helping empower others to seek help! I’m also a therapist who is IN therapy, so I see, feel, and understand both perspectives - love this video from the perspective of a client AND a clinician!!! 💕
I think therapy is as important as good eating habits, exercise, self care. I'm not saying everyone needs it, but it's something that - for me at least - really does make a difference :)
I had a therapist I saw from the time I was 20 to when I turned 23. A lot of the very things that I wanted to work on and that led me to therapy (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, low self esteem) also was an obstacle in finding a therapist. After spending years working with her (and definitely improving myself), I came to the realization that she was not the right fit for me. I didn't take the steps that Amy so wonderfully outlined in this video. When I revisited finding a therapist earlier this year, I did all the things that were mentioned here. It makes all the difference in the world! Obviously, I'm in a different place mentally, which I'm sure is a contributing factor. It is okay to work with a therapist for a session or two and then decide that they are not the right fit. I found that it helps to disclose where you are in the therapist selection journey when you talk to them. This can be an intimidating process especially when you have trauma and mental health issues that you are working on. I see you and I'm rooting for you!
“Intimidating” is the perfect word!! Honestly I’ve been looking for a therapist for a few months now and have almost in a way started beating myself up about my progress but when I reflected a bit more, I had the thought of “this is actually a lot harder than I may give myself credit for, let me be a bit more kinder to myself while looking”
omg people need to speak more about choosing the right therapist for them!!! I had to go through 3 diff therapists before I found one that was a good fit for me!!!
Yes! I went to 3 already and still didn't find the right one. Where I live there aren't many options, even though I get extra shy during online meetings, I'm going to try online therapy.
@@chatonsacrement7454 OoOo I wish you the best of luck!! It seems like a lot of work having to test trial many therapists but its so so worth it at the end!!
How how HOW- I’m taking this as a sign, been going in circles in my head about taking the idea of going to therapy seriously. Time to turn into action! Thanks Amy
I have been struggling with suicidal tendencies and was looking into seeking a therapist now that I have health benefits at my new job! so grateful for this helpful vid 🙏🏻❤️
have switched therapists twice, on my third & could not be happier. we are always changing and evolving and not vibin with your therapist anymore is ok too, I feel like no one told me about that part of therapy so I stayed a lot longer then I should have because I didn't want to offend him lol. went from a very passive male therapist to two active and nurturing female therapists and ur so right about resonating with energy that exists and you've already met.
thanks for the video. When I was a teenager, I went to seek therapy/counseling for depression/stress from feeling socially isolated. I only went where my insurance covered so I think it was maybe a counselor. The person seemed nice but after seeing them over the course of a summer, by then end of that summer, I felt like more and more our visits were meaningless. Years later, its good to know that you can actually look around for therapists instead of thinking that you would have to settle on the first person that you meet.
I’ve had three therapists in the past and had horrible experiences. I remember one told me my problems were because I didn’t have a religion, so it’s kinda turned me away from reaching out to those for help but I really feel like I need to see one again. This video came at the perfect time 🥲
As someone who is non religious as well, that’s so intimidating. There are people out there who won’t do that. Keep trying and I’m sure you’ll find someone who’s a good fit 😊
I needed this video so badly! I have wanted therapy for several years but I was just completely clueless on how to start or where to look! Thank you so much 🤍✨
Oh my gosh, I needed this. It's been a couple years since I "broke up" with my in-network therapist who I didn't vibe with, but I had no idea how to get another therapist at all, let alone one that fits my needs. (Especially since I don't have insurance anymore.) So thank you!!
Therapy is so important! Thank you for sharing your tips and your experience! I’m personally in between therapists and am actively seeking a new therapist. I’ve lived in a predominately white, extremely religious and conservative area (the polar opposite of who I am) for a year and have struggled to find a therapist I trust and will benefit from. I’ve only searched for therapists who are in network and accepting new patients and I find myself at a dead end in my search. So thank you thank you thank you for putting this video out in to the universe. I’m going to take your advice to heart
Hi Amy, I am a Korean American Therapist practicing in WA state and just saw your video and really appreciated your advocacy for mental health/ counseling. Especially coming from a cultural background that receiving mental health help is very stigmatized. When I heard you say therapists are "light workers / healers" my heart moved :) anyhow thank you for this video!
I've seen 7 therapists and I've been trying to find the right one since I was 16. I'm 22 now. Your last few statements made me feel like you're saying that's a me thing, that it's my fault. Some of those therapists said some awful things to me. I've been called a snowflake and had my experience of sexual assault invalidated. I don't like the implication that I just need to try harder. Not a single one of them noticed I was autistic and have ADHD. I had to go to a specialist to confirm that for myself, on my own. I'm constantly thinking about my mental health and how I can do better. I think it's important to remember that there are a lot of crappy therapists out there. Just statements like that make me feel broken.
Its not YOU thing. I have been to 5 so far, and all of them have IQ and EQ of ameba. Unfortunately it seems to be easy to get the diploma without necessarily qualifications and empathy assessment
i found this video at the perfect time because i am currently looking for another therapist and it has been such an exhausting and discouraging search thus far.
Hi Amy, I’ve new to your channel, Im loving the energy! Yass. Anyways, I’ve had so many therapists and none of them have felt right for me. I honestly couldn’t tell you how many I have seen it’s ridiculous. I really want a therapist whose female, understanding, supportive, soft but direct, and light! I definitely need a therapist who is light, who makes me feel at ease! Most of the therapists I’ve had are so intimidating!! I just feel like the person I’m looking for doesn’t exist... 😭😭
I came here to find a good video explaining this topic, so I can recommend it to other people. Firstly, thank you! This is really good information. And secondly, your vibes are so beautiful! ❤ I really like your vibes/energy.
i think the thing that was an obstacle when thinking about getting therapy was knowing where to start and this video helped me so much. thank you sm for taking time for making this!
Ahh this is such great advice - I went through like 5 therapist before I found one I could open up with. Therapy Panda was super good for this, I really love the site - they let you add filters and actually see the therapist's availability
wow this video really came for me at a great time! thank you so much for talking about this because as of recently i started looking for a therapist and had no idea how to start, i’ve been looking at a few and i’ve been so scared to talk to them not knowing if i’d like them or not but your video helped me look back through their specialties. ♥
Wow, this was helpful. I have good insurance, but my last therapist made everything worse. I wasn't able to practice meditation for 3 years. I don't have the mental fortitude to wade through many therapist to find the right one, I need to know on our first meeting if it's the right fit. I have been working on myself and finally feel ready, especially with the outline you've created. Thanks so much!
This was very very very helpful! Thank you for this I'm looking to get my daughter's into therapy as well. Very good tips and I love your hair color here too.
Thank you so very much for your tips and advice. I wish I had seen this video two years ago! Everything you talked about was relevant and extremely helpful. I am happy to share your video with friends and family! Great expressions!! Thanks!!!
I was just gonna pick a therapist but when she mentioned similar background and culture I was like yess this is what i need because if they know my culture i think i would able to speak in my native lang and be able to better explain my situation.
First of all... THANK YOU for not making therapy seem like aww you poor miserable thiiing... 10 seconds in I started crying. I opened this video and you filled me with hope that YES I'm doing the right thing to search for help and improve my life. So far therapy in my mind has been a bit of a taboo (the country I'm from and my parents don't really support it). I've been trying for many years to find a therapist but either we didn't have a connection or I didn't like them etc. I definitely know what I'm looking for and I always have but I was frustrated because I never found the right fit and thought it was my fault. Also the performing thing hit me hard af 😂😂 Lots of love coming your way and again thank you 💕💕
You are literally so awesome for sharing this! Woot woot! It helps more people than you know and shows us that we are not alone when it comes to mental health. Keep pushing forward! 😄✌🏾❤️
Good good advice from an intelligent lady like yourself..your life will get more fruitful .. blessings to you and your loved ones with peace love I wish
I've been looking for someone for a while now but felt like I didn't get a good vibe off anyone. Halfway through this video I started searching again, and by the time you got to it I found someone on Psychology Today that seems like a good fit! Thank you so much for this video I'm going to be rewatching it a lot over the next few days while I'm searching! 🥰
i just moved and am in need of a new therapist!! i found one but it was not a good fit so i broke up w her. this video is encouraging me to keep looking so thank you 💕✨🥺
thank you Amy for the content! it is not easy to find a therapist that syncs with you! I am from an Asian country but it was difficult for me to work with a local therapist. As we live in the same system and society, they may hold some "normal values" that can be traumatic and problematic to me. I turnout feeling more comfortable to work with overseas therapists and speaking English than my mother tongue! Everyone is different! Hope you all can find the therapist who works well for you~
also if you are a college student many schools have programs that offer free counseling. i did group therapy sessions through my school at no cost and it was such a good fit for me but i had also done a few one on one sessions
oh Amy... thank you so much for this video ♡ it helps a lot. i've been going to therapy for a few months but i feel like my therapist is not a good fit for me. your video came at the right time. THANK U ❤
Hey Amy. You actually gave me advice to find a therapist on your live and I have my first session on Wednesday. I'm so excited and beyond thankful to you 💙
Thank you so much Amy for this video! 🥺🌼 was just wondering how do I know if my therapist is a right fit for me. I have been going to therapy since November because of your video, sending lots of love 💕
As an INTJ I can relate soooo much with « I wanted to be the best patient unpacking everything speaking 1000 words/mile ». Didn’t find THE therapist yet, but I keep searching ✨ Thanks for everything Amy, you are the one who convince me to go to therapy ❤️
Thorough. I was wondering if political and cultural issues are significant or if that's a superfluous concern. I know that if there's a lot of judgment, then the relationship in full is just doomed. You are correct there. Much love, Amy. Thanks.
i just wanted to say: love the video. however, i am pretty sure that as long as the reviews are done by their clients and the therapist is not responding to reviews or anything then it is not breaking client-therapist confidentiality which is there to protect the client. if the client chooses to put their information out there, anyone reading reviews for this therapist is fine to read them. there's only a problem if the therapist goes and says something to them on the review.
Thank you so much for this. I finally pushed to go to therapy this year. This helped me follow through with my gut feeling to meet with a different therapist and I sent that email ASAP lol
I’m struggling in choosing if I should keep my therapist or search for a new one, I don’t feel challenged nor related to very much with her and I feel like she only provides life advice instead of helping me find my deeper issues so we can solve them. Idk how to go about it since she’s from my insurance, I’m scared to break up with her but 😭 I saw her for a while and ended up in s*icide jail where I met some of the most insightful counselors and therapists in my life, so I knoW the problem isn’t me 🥺
I would love to go to therapy and it's something I know in my heart that will change my life, however I find it not very possible at this point in time for me due to where I live (Poland) and the majority of therapists are white, Catholic and completely indoctrinated by the conventional, backwards-thinking of this racist and homophobic country. Being a person of mixed ethnicity from the US, I have yet to find a therapist that will match or even be close to my cultural background or have the capacity to understand who I am and where I come from......
Maybe start with someone who does therapy on the phone, FaceTime, zoom etc. Face to face would be great but if you can’t do that now look at other options.
Although I don’t live in Poland I got to spend sometime there some years ago and I think you’ll be able to find someone you can align with in Krakow or Warsaw, or virtually. You could try using the expats recommendations: krakowexpats.pl/listings/krakow-counselling/ Hope you find someone!
Hi Amy, sorry if this sounds weird but I have no idea how I ended up here. I'm someone who desperately needs help and all my therapist never did good to me. How easily can you find that good therapist? And how long can it take?
Any tips on figuring out the therapists age without having to contact them directly (i think it would be rude to even ask for their age) if their age is not provided anywhere. Virtually all therapists who work with my insurance have no information about them publically available other then their names and contact info.

I think therapy is as important as good eating habits, exercise, self care. I'm not saying everyone needs it, but it's something that - for me at least - really does make a difference :)

thanks sophia! i'm glad i could support you in any way. wishing you luck on your journey to finding a therapist that fits you :]
Therapy can be so intimidating so a video like this to break it down and be less scary is aammaazziinngg, thank you!
I clicked on this embarrassingly fast I’m very excited!

How how HOW- I’m taking this as a sign, been going in circles in my head about taking the idea of going to therapy seriously. Time to turn into action! Thanks Amy
When you just wanna be fixed but get reminded you take the biggest part in that😭😭 dass therapy baby
mental health is absolutely the foundation that our lives are built on. Soooooooo valuable to have proper care of it!!!

Idk how to go about it since she’s from my insurance, I’m scared to break up with her but 😭 I saw her for a while and ended up in s*icide jail where I met some of the most insightful counselors and therapists in my life, so I knoW the problem isn’t me 🥺
Thank you for this.
I would love to go to therapy and it's something I know in my heart that will change my life, however I find it not very possible at this point in time for me due to where I live (Poland) and the majority of therapists are white, Catholic and completely indoctrinated by the conventional, backwards-thinking of this racist and homophobic country. Being a person of mixed ethnicity from the US, I have yet to find a therapist that will match or even be close to my cultural background or have the capacity to understand who I am and where I come from......
Maybe start with someone who does therapy on the phone, FaceTime, zoom etc. Face to face would be great but if you can’t do that now look at other options.
Although I don’t live in Poland I got to spend sometime there some years ago and I think you’ll be able to find someone you can align with in Krakow or Warsaw, or virtually. You could try using the expats recommendations:

Hope you find someone!
Your place it's looking cool :)
thank you sara :]
Thank you so much!
I cant stop staring at your eyes 😍😍 they are soo prettyy
My only regret with therapy is I wish I started it earlier
thank you so much for this video!! do you do your sessions online right now or still in person?
i have severe anxiety and i want a therapist so bad but my parents won’t help pay and i have no extra money to get one :)
there are always resources out there. call some information services and see what they can do. keep trying my love, you are worthy of healing.
Hello sunshine 🌻🌞😎
Hi Amy, sorry if this sounds weird but I have no idea how I ended up here. I'm someone who desperately needs help and all my therapist never did good to me. How easily can you find that good therapist? And how long can it take?
Any tips on figuring out the therapists age without having to contact them directly (i think it would be rude to even ask for their age) if their age is not provided anywhere. Virtually all therapists who work with my insurance have no information about them publically available other then their names and contact info.
