Send us Fan MailFinding a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when most people aren't sure what all the different titles, credentials, and specialties actually mean. Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross talk honestly about what patients should know before starting treatment, from licensing and training to the differences between therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and coaches.Along the way, they explore some of the less talked about realities of the mental health profession. They discuss why many clinicians are drawn to the field, how personal experience can both help and hinder treatment, and why professional boundaries matter. The conversation also touches on the power dynamics that naturally exist in therapy and the importance of making sure treatment remains focused on the patient's needs rather than the clinician's.They also look at what effective therapy should feel like over time. From setting goals and reassessing progress to recognizing when treatment is helping and when it may be time to move on, Rosen and Gross offer practical guidance for anyone seeking mental health care and wondering what to expect from the process.Contact the Docs:Email: [email protected] the Docs:Email: [email protected]
