Living in Palm Desert and searching for a therapist near me will deliver a lot of names of professionals, but how to do you know they are trained in the area of support you need?

Palm Springs may get all the name recognition as the place to vacation and kick back, but life happens here in Palm Desert and all the cities of the Coachella Valley on a daily basis. When the snowbirds leave, the desert community persists. If you are looking for a life coach, counselor, therapist, or psychologist- I’d like to help you find someone who can help you with your particular needs.

I want to help you find a therapist in Palm Desert

Finding the right fit for therapy is no small decision. You know you want to feel better and you also know therapy might involve revisiting really painful moments in your life. I want to make sure you get connected with the treatment provider who will be most beneficial for your current situation so that you can begin to heal and return to the life you want to be leading.

How Do I Begin?

When looking for a therapist or counselor, it’s important to start with these brief considerations to help make the process smoother for you.

Tip #1: Think About What You’re Experiencing

In order to find help, it’s helpful to be able to explain what is happening for you and for how long you’ve been experiencing the distress. Therapists and counselors will often want to schedule a brief phone call to discuss your situation and if you have spent a little bit of time identifying what is happening and how you’re noticing it impacting your life, you can get a better idea of whether or not the professional you’re speaking with can help you.

Tip #2: Contact Your Insurance

If you have health insurance, reach out and find out what your mental health or behavioral health benefits are. You may be limited to seeing someone on your insurance company’s list of in network providers, or if you have a PPO, you might have access to a wider range of professionals. You can also inquire about what out of network benefits are available with your particular plan so that you can schedule with the right provider for you, regardless of whether or not your insurance company contracts with them. See this blog regarding what to ask about your benefits.

Tip #3: Ask Your Primary Care Provider for a Referral

Your primary care physician may have names of clinicians who have successfully worked with their other patients, and since they have knowledge of your medical history, their referral might be more tailored to your needs.
