Before you begin

There is no such thing as a “perfect” therapist. Sometimes therapy feels uncomfortable because you're working through difficult things. Other times, it feels uncomfortable because the therapist simply isn't the right fit. This reflection tool can help you think about the difference.

About this tool

TheMindNetwork’s therapist fit reflection is a free, 5-minute self-assessment for people who are already in therapy and wondering whether their therapist is the right match.

You answer 25 short statements about your experience — trust, progress, feeling heard, and comfort in sessions — plus one final reflection question. The tool helps you tell the difference between productive discomfort (working through hard things) and a poor therapist–client fit.
