Whether it's money, cultural awareness, of therapeutic fit, there can be many barriers with finding the right therapist. One of my biggest goals as a counselor is to break down these obstacles. To meet this end, I implement an intersectional approach as I get to know my clients. Understanding what you need best allows me to provide it.
