Finding a therapist or counselor who is a fit for your self-care needs isn’t always straight forward, especially with demand for therapy at an all time high. 

In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of self-care and how to avoid burnout and depression. We will also provide some tips on how to seek counseling if you need it.

Self-care is important for everyone, but it is especially important for those who are struggling with burnout or depression. When you are burnt out, you may feel like you are unable to cope with life’s demands. You may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and hopeless. Depression can also lead to burnout. If you are struggling with depression, you may feel like there is no hope for improvement. In cases like these, seeking professional help is the best decision you can make for your mental health.

Mental health counseling can provide you with the support and tools you need to cope with burnout or depression. Counseling can help you identify healthy coping mechanisms, develop a positive outlook on life, and manage your stress levels. If you are struggling with burnout or depression, we encourage you to seek counseling.

There are many resources available to help you find a mental health counselor in your area. Jordan Nodelman’s clients find him through popular therapist directories, like Mental Health Match, TherapyDen or Headway. In addition, clients have found our EMDR Certified Therapist via the EMDRIA directory or through university counseling centers.  Not all therapists list their profiles in every directory. There are directories that lend themselves to certain populations or modalities. Another great resource is talking to your insurance company or your Primary Care Physician.

Finally, if finances make it difficult to find a therapist in your budget, you can also seek out local community mental health agencies or see if your county has a 211 directory, like this Broward County 211 Directory.

We encourage you to reach out to your primary care provider, mental health hotline, or local mental health center for more information if you are having challenges identify a good match.
