Five years ago, my husband Jake was training for a triathlon. He had just purchased a new road bike and woke up one sunny Saturday morning to take it out for its first spin. As we were lying in bed, he looked at me and said, "I don't have a good feeling about this; I hope something doesn't happen."

The summer before I turned 28, I felt like I was swimming through a hot, sour fog. I was exhausted all the time, but I also couldn't sleep, and sometimes I'd wake up in the middle of the night and cry. My eating habits got weird. I started second-guessing everything I did at work.

Finding the right therapist for one's psychological problems can be a daunting task. It takes time and effort but can be done if one is equipped with the right information.

It is common ...

Kinds of Therapy

Most therapists are equipped with multiple approaches and can tailor them based on one's specific needs. The two common types of therapy are:

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy(CBT): Identifies and monitors and corrects unhealthy behavioral patterns. It is effective in treating general anxiety.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Goes deep into one's past, family, and relationships. It is considered effective in treating certain disorders and depression.

Finding The Right Therapist

In looking for the right therapist, it is best to locate one through a referral, if your friends are comfortable providing one.
You can also search the internet, looking for licensed practitioners in your area.
Take a look at your insurance plans database and see if you find a good one that can also be covered by insurance.
A good therapist may not have a big online footprint. Shortlist about five therapists and get in touch with them personally.
