Working with a therapist can be viewed in many ways, but I often like to compare it to shoe shopping; you may get lucky on the first pick, or you might have to try on a few pairs before making the purchase.

Choosing a therapist you can trust and feel at ease with can make all the difference by leading to a path of empowerment and growth.
