Finding The Right Counselor – A Not-So-Easy Task
Finding a counselor is not an easy task by any means. Let me rephrase that. Finding a counselor is quite easy but finding a counselor that best fits your needs is not easy. There are a few ways to find counselors:
- The yellow page listings in the local phone book – a tedious task
- An online search engine – it takes time to weed through so many
- Through health insurance provider lists – a good resource to find a counselor in-network
- Referral – someone you know gives you the name of a reputable counselor
These are all viable options to help find a good counselor. What happens when you are looking for a counselor in large metropolitan area like New York City, you are new to the area and have no contacts? Finding a counselor should not be a hit and miss game.
