Deciding if a Provider is Right for You
Once you find a potential provider it can be helpful to prepare a list of questions to help you decide if they are a good fit for you. Examples of questions you might want to ask a potential provider include:
-
-
What experience do you have treating someone with my issue?
-
How do you usually treat someone with my issue?
-
How long do you expect treatment to last?
-
Do you accept my insurance?
-
What are your fees?
-
Find more tips for talking with a health care provider about your mental health.
Treatment works best when you have a good relationship with your mental health professional. If you aren’t comfortable or are feeling like the treatment is not helping, talk with your provider, or consider finding a different provider or another type of treatment.
Children and adolescents that don't have a mental health professional should consider speaking with a health care provider or another trusted adult.
Do not stop current treatment without talking to your health care provider.
