Find a Psychologist: Things to Consider Before Scheduling an Appointment
Angela Sasseville, MA, LPC
If you need to find a psychologist, it is important to locate one who you can feel comfortable with. Speaking with someone about the challenges you are facing, important life decisions, grief, abuse, or other myriad issues requires a level of openness. It is critical that you are comfortable enough to express yourself, and that starts with being comfortable around your psychologist.
A few things to consider are:
Would you be more comfortable with a man or a woman?
Do you feel more relaxed with a certain style of communication?
Does a particular office environment cause you to be stressed or to unwind?

One of the ways you can make your visits more enjoyable is to decrease the stress caused by commuting to see your psychologist. Location matters because you never know when you will need to schedule an appointment and whether that appointment will need to be on your lunch break, right after work, etc. We will work with you to schedule your visits for times that are convenient, and the closer you are to the office, the easier it will be for you to get here without feeling rushed.
Find a Psychologist With Experience
