Finding a therapist you're comfortable with is so important and at the same time can be so hard. It's really a trial and error. Give one a few sessions and if you find you're unable to open up then try another. I've wasted plenty of time with ones that I've lied to or never brought up my issues because we just didn't click. And often I'd stay with them because I didn't want to hurt their feelings by finding another one! Yea don't do that. I've also had ones that when they moved on to a different job, I cried! So it really is like a relationship. An important one on top of it. When it comes to mental health, it's important to find one that you can open up to and that makes you feel positive about you're situations and make you want to work on yourself. Don't get discouraged if you don't click. Like I said, it's trial and error.

As far as a difference between psychologist, counsellor, ect, I honestly don't know lol! And in my job category, I really should know. All I do know is that my psych doc prescribes my meds and asks about my state of mental health and my therapist is someone I talk to extensively about my issues. Maybe someone else on here can give you more info?

Bottom line, try one out and if you're uncomfortable with that one then simply move to the next and don't feel discouraged about it. Don't give up! Good luck and stay positive. I hope you feel better soon! Hugs
