About this resource

How to use it

The truth is, not every therapist is the right fit for every person, and that’s okay. This checklist from Touchstone Therapy Center walks you through the key practical and personal factors to consider when beginning your search, from verifying credentials and insurance coverage to assessing whether a therapist’s communication style and values align with your own.

Use it as your guide to finding someone who makes you feel safe, heard, and supported on your journey toward better mental health.
