Like starting any new process, there are many unknowns and uncertainties when finding a therapist. It can feel daunting, exciting, frustrating and downright defeating. Connecting with the right therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming and we hope to streamline the process for you. 

Maybe you have a specific goal of therapy in mind, that’s great. And, it’s totally fine if you don’t. Maybe you want a person trained in a specific modality or with specific lived experience, that’s fine. Maybe you just want to feel connected to the therapist, that’s fine too. 

Every person shows up to therapy in a different way. However you showing up is good enough. You don’t need to change anything about how you show up in therapy. There is no right or wrong way to engage in this process. Just show up as you are. 

Here is how to get the process started:

1. You already have. Well done. Take a moment to acknowledge that you clicked on this post today and wherever you go from here is up to you. You are in the driver’s seat in this process. 

2. Read through the bios (https://relearninghuman.com/starting-therapy#team)  Without thinking too hard – who do you feel drawn to? It could be their photo or the words they use. Connection points sometimes can’t be put into words and that’s OK. If you feel drawn to someone, great. If not, that’s OK too. Go onto step 3.

3. Book a complimentary meet and greet with one or all of the therapists (https://relearninghuman.janeapp.com). You will have 15 minutes to get to know the therapist, ask any questions you might have or get a feel for the therapists’ general vibe. 

4. If you have any questions, hesitations or want an in-between for steps 2 and 3, email us at co*****@re*************.com.

Thank you for considering therapy with ReLearning Human and in general. The world becomes a more connected place when we get to know ourselves a bit better.
