Beginning Therapy

Despite the relatively recent destigmatization of therapy, it still takes a great deal of bravery and determination to reach out to a therapist for help, and many people still wait until everything is falling apart before they take that first step.

Finding the right therapist can be the first step in the journey of a successful therapy experience. It is vital to choose someone with whom you can build a good rapport, a therapist who is trustworthy, warm, and empathetic. When you arrange a consultation at Through The Storm Counseling, we will help you to navigate and understand what you are looking for in a therapist and what you are looking to get out of therapy. If we are not the right match, we may be able to help you find someone whom is.
