Finding an interactive mental health therapist. Not all therapists just nod their head and say “what do you feel about that”.  Written by a licensed therapist in Long Beach.

Many people call looking saying “I want a therapist near me who is interactive” because there are many therapists out there who do a lot of head nodding and validation without giving tools to succeed.  When a client leaves a mental health therapy appointment feeling like it was a waste of time and money because they feel like they could have gotten the same feedback from a bobblehead doll, that is a problem.  In these situations, it is important to talk to your therapist about what you need, but some therapists are just there to validate (and that can be very helpful).

At Long Beach Therapy, we are much more interactive and will give tangible tools that you can leave session with.  Just like other therapists, we are going to validate when appropriate, but we are much more about teaching skills that you can use outside of therapy.

If you want to find out more about our therapy sessions, please call/text us at 562-310-9741 or CLICK HERE to book an appointment.  We offer in person therapy in Long Beach and online appointments for anyone who prefers virtual therapy.
