If you’re new to the area or need to find a new counselor, it’s important to do your research to find the best fit. Here are some tips to help you find the right counselor at McNulty Counseling and Wellness.
- Determine what type of counseling you need. Counselors specialize in different areas, such as anxiety, depression, relationships, or trauma. Knowing what you need help with will help us narrow your search and find a counselor best suited to your needs. If you’re looking for individual, couples, or family therapy, search for counselors who offer those services. McNulty Counseling and Wellness offers all of these services.
- Consider the type of therapy you prefer. Some people prefer more traditional talk therapy, while others prefer more experiential approaches like art therapy. Think about what type of therapy you feel most comfortable with and search for counselors who offer those modalities. McNulty Counseling and Wellness offers a variety of therapy modalities to meet the needs of their clients.
- Look for counselors with the appropriate credentials. In Florida, counselors must be licensed by the Florida Department of Health. McNulty Counseling and Wellness employs licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs) and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) who have met the necessary education and training requirements and are held to high professional standards.
- Consider the location and availability of the counselor. It’s important to find a counselor who is convenient for you to see. Consider location, office hours, and whether the counselor offers virtual sessions. You’re more likely to stick with therapy if it’s easy for you to make and attend appointments. McNulty Counseling and Wellness has locations in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota and offers virtual sessions for those who prefer it. Our clinicians’ hours are flexible to meet after school and after work appointments.
- Look for a counselor who you feel comfortable with. It’s important to find a counselor who you feel comfortable talking to and who understands your needs. You may want to look for counselors who have a similar background or who specialize in working with people with similar issues to yours. McNulty Counseling and Wellness has a team of experienced and compassionate counselors dedicated to helping their clients feel comfortable and understood.
