How to Find a Therapist

1

Start with what you need

Grief, anxiety, burnout, trauma, parenting stress, a life transition — naming the need narrows the search.

2

Check your coverage

Call the number on your insurance card and ask for in-network behavioral health providers, or ask therapists about sliding-scale fees.

3

Reach out to three

Availability changes fast. Contacting several providers at once shortens the wait considerably.

4

Give it a fair trial

The relationship matters more than the method. If it isn't a fit after a few sessions, it's okay to try someone else.

Everyday Wellness Tools

Ground yourself

Try 5-4-3-2-1: name five things you see, four you feel, three you hear, two you smell, one you taste. It brings an anxious mind back to the present.

Name what you feel

Putting an emotion into words lowers its intensity. Journal a sentence a day, or simply say it out loud: 'I feel overwhelmed, and that makes sense.'

Protect the basics

Sleep, water, movement, and food are mental health tools, not luxuries. Start with one small, repeatable change.

Stay connected

Isolation can make everything feel heavier. Send one text, join one group, or attend one event — connection can be a meaningful source of support.

Set a boundary

You can care about people and still say no. Boundaries protect the energy you need to heal.

Ask for help early

You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. If symptoms persist or worsen, reach out to a licensed professional.
