#5 The Comadre's Guide to Finding Your Therapist (or Coach)

from Grief Comadres | Real grief. Real women. Real healing. · host Jackie Alvarado

In this episode, we're talking about something I hear all the time: "I tried therapy once, but I didn't like the therapist, so I stopped going." Sound familiar? Here's the truth, comadres—finding the right therapist or coach is just like dating. Sometimes you have to "date around" until you find the one who truly gets you.I'm sharing research-backed tips on how to find a therapist or life coach who clicks with your needs, your vibe, and your healing journey. From checking their specialty to scheduling discovery calls, we'll walk through what to look for (and what red flags to avoid). Plus, I'm sharing my mom's wild story about a therapist who literally fell asleep during her session—because yes, that really happened!Whether you're dealing with grief, divorce, life transitions, or just need support, this episode will help you advocate for the care you deserve.Important Disclaimers: I am a grief coach and speech-language pathologist, not a licensed professional counselor (LPC) or therapist. The information shared in this episode is based on research and my experience as a coach, but it is not meant to replace licensed mental health services. If you are in crisis or need clinical mental health support, please reach out to a licensed therapist or counselor.Resources:National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988Join Our Community: Want to connect with other comadres navigating grief and healing?
