How to Choose the Right Teen Therapist | Toronto Counselling
Finding the Right Therapist for You

Finding the Right Therapist for You

Finding a therapist that feels like a good fit is important because individual counselling for teens is most helpful when you connect well with your therapist. Some factors that may influence your decision are personality, areas of expertise, aspects of identity (i.e., gender, race, sexuality), common interests and hobbies, or whether online counselling for teens may be a better fit based on the therapist’s location and availability.

Since you’re already visiting our website, you might want to take some time to look over our therapist bios and introductory videos. This is a great way to get a sense of our therapists’ personalities and approaches. If you feel pulled to a specific therapist, great! When you or a parent call to connect with us, you can ask for that therapist. If you’re not sure who to meet with, no problem. Our client care coordinators are awesome at matching clients and therapists. All you and/or your parent(s) need to do is reach out and ask for a little help finding the right therapist.

Getting Comfortable With Your Therapist

You, your parent(s), or all of you together have the opportunity to meet with the therapist for a brief introductory conversation before your first session. This initial call can help get a vibe check, share some history and your reasons for seeking counselling, and ask any questions you or your family may have.

If you meet with a therapist for a few sessions and it doesn’t feel like the right fit, don’t worry and don’t take therapy off the table. We’re happy to connect you with someone else and help you find the right person for you.
