    Three Reasons I Might Not OfferWhat You Are Looking For

    Sep 30

    Written By Sherry Reaves

    1.     Sometimes I search through Psychology Today’s available therapists to find a match for someone who I might not be able to serve due to knowing them personally or some other conflict of interest.  If I do a search for a therapist offering the type of therapy I’m looking for, I find that most of the over 1,000 therapists in the Tulsa area are offering a long list of specialties.  I used to do the same. 

     Yes, in my 25 years as a mental health therapist, I’ve attended trainings on possibly hundreds of topics.  I’ve offered and attempted to address whatever the client’s need is, but I finally recognized that both my client and I are benefited more by a clear focus toward specific issues which I learn about and practice resolving every day that I see clients.

     2.     If I try to meet all the needs of those who are seeking counseling, I’d have a waiting list of several weeks, if not more.  I’ve been there.  Though a high number of counseling appointments financially supports me, it doesn’t leave me time to focus on getting better and learning more about only a few areas of focus.

     3.     If I was reaching out to find a therapist who could help me, for example, with how past abuse is affecting me now, I’d want someone who has specifically trained in that topic but also has made it their mission to help people in this situation.  I’d also want to talk to someone who has at least been through similar experiences or emotions so they know first hand what I might be experiencing and need.

     In summary, I got into this business to help others ease the pain that sometimes comes with life events.  Don’t walk the journey alone! I can walk with you through easing the anxieties and finding hope in your depression.
