A member asked:
Can you tell me exactly when is the right time to get a new mental health counselor ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trial period: It is important that a patient have a good rapport with their counselor.The first few visits are usually about gathering information and getting to know you. After that time period, the counselor should start going into therapy mode. If after that time you still are not connecting with the therapist, you could discuss with them about the need for a change and get their recommendations.
