182. How to Find the Right Therapist
When you’re starting your therapy journey, it can be overwhelming trying to find a therapist. Finding the right therapist for you can be even more so. Trust me when I say you shouldn’t just go for the first therapist you find. You need to make sure it is the right fit for you and what you are looking for.

Customer Reviews
One of my favorite listens!
I really like that TJ give little nuggets of therapy goodness and doesn’t overload me with everything I’m doing wrong. I enjoy every single episode!!
Update: I really appreciated the LDS LGBTQ+ episode. It is incredibly hard to “stay in the boat” right now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Weekly Check-in
A few minutes of words every from TJ goes a long way. The topics each week allow me to have a personal check-in with my mental health. His knowledge goes all long way in helping me establish healthy patterns of thinking.
Succinct and friendly
I strongly recommend him and his methodology in approaching talking about mental health. Addresses tidbits that everyone should be aware of but in a non-judgmental, calming, accessible manner.
