Therapist Red Flags- Signs you Might Have a Bad Therapist

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the red flags you need to be aware of when searching for the right therapist. Finding a therapist who truly supports your mental health journey is crucial, but it’s not always easy. Some therapists might cross boundaries, blur the lines by trying to be your friend, or exhibit other behaviors that can seriously hinder your progress. Recognizing these warning signs early on can save you time, energy, and ensure that you’re getting the professional support you deserve.
We’ll break down some of the key red flags that should make you reconsider your choice of therapist. Whether you’re new to therapy or thinking about switching to someone else, these tips will help you avoid common pitfalls and find the right fit for your mental health needs.

My Peak Mindset is created by Chera Mann, Joshua Holmes, and Jayden Freeman-three licensed mental health providers dedicated to helping you succeed on your mental health journey. We understand that therapy doesn’t always work for everyone, and there can be many reasons for that. Through our experience as therapists, we’ve seen what makes the difference for those who thrive in therapy, and we’re here to help you overcome the barriers that might be holding you back.
Whether you’re currently in therapy, working on your mental health through self-help, or considering a new approach, we’re here to support you. Our goal is to provide free, accessible information on managing issues like OCD, anxiety, depression, and mood instability. We also tackle topics that can be tough to bring up in therapy-like substance abuse, suicide thoughts, and self-harm-offering guidance on how to address these challenges in a therapeutic setting.
We believe that change is possible and that there’s always hope!

A therapist for my child with selective mutism told me she cured her daughter from the same condition when she was 4 years old. That was so annoying because her kid just started talking. My kid had this for 10 years.

Yeah that’s a big difference! 😬 Hope your child is doing well
