First Steps in Finding a Trauma Therapist

If you are looking for a life coach, counselor, therapist, or psychologist- I’d like to help you find someone who can help. A life coach will not diagnose mental illness. They will be instructing you about how to organize yourself, discover you goals and help you prioritize. A life coach will help you find your blocks and get you motivated to begin the work, take the next step one session at a time. Therapy/counseling is a deeper dive into issues of emotions, behavior and thought connections, and memories. A therapist will offer you referrals as needed, ie to a psychologist or psychiatrist for medical assessment and possibly medications for a complicated diagnosis or maybe a higher level of care, such as an intensive outpatient facility for substance abuse. Maybe all you need is a self-help 12 step group or the local community health care place. Determine what your most important need is and start there.
