How to Find a Therapist Who Really Gets You

Getting a mental health checkup might have earned a high-priority place on our list of things to tackle in 2018, but finding a therapist that “gets” where we’re coming from can daunt even the most self-care committed. Whether it’s moving on from a long-term professional relationship that’s gone stale or darkening the door of a counselor’s office for the very first time, there’s not exactly a hard and fast rule of etiquette that gives us an idea of how to do it right. But evidence suggests that committing to mental wellness through regular talk-therapy sessions could be the key to moving forward and claiming power over our lives, which means that figuring out how to navigate finding a therapist is well worth the effort. We spoke to a licensed professional counselor to get a clue on best practices for finding one that aligns well with our own values and needs.

1. Break up gently. Sometimes you’ve gone as far as you can go with a particular therapist. Shifting care preferences (e.g., wanting more holistic care that incorporates a body/soul approach, or wanting someone who can assess your condition with a fresh perspective) are a good reason to back out of your current arrangement. But Michele Moore, of the marriage counseling resource Marriage Mojo, advises outlining the issues you’re thinking about before you bail on a long-term relationship with your therapist.

Of course, there are times you just know there’s no amount of discussion that will get you and your therapist back on the same page. For those situations, Moore believes there is always a way to make a graceful exit. “Consider simply leaving a voicemail or email with a brief message about feeling the need to go in another direction. At the end of the day, you don’t owe your therapist a lengthy explanation, but getting one may help him/her provide better services to future clients.” The degree to which you explain your decision can vary according to how long you’ve been seeing this particular professional. “If you’ve only seen someone for a few weeks, no explanation is needed, but if you’ve been a long-standing client, an explanation will not only be expected but greatly appreciated,” Moore explains.

2. Figure out your dealbreakers. Before starting your search for a new therapist, figure out what kind of care you’re after. If you’re looking to manage anxiety or depression conditions that you suspect may require a prescription, remember that you’ll need to speak to someone who’s licensed to prescribe these kinds of drugs. Also, find out what kind of coverage you’re afforded under your health insurance plan, and figure out how much money you can budget per month for your sessions to make up the difference. Once you know the basics of what you’re looking for, scope out the field of local therapists using online tools (Psychology Today‘s Find a Therapist, Therapy for Black Girls, or GoodTherapy.org’s Therapist Finder all offer different filters to start you on your way to a good match).

Ask about booking a phone consultation or a free in-office consultation, and then come prepared when it’s time to break the ice. Moore advises patients to be straightforward with prospective new therapists. “It’s unlikely that you would find someone who agrees with each and every point, but it’s helpful to identify the top 3-5 items on your ‘wish list’ and ask about those,” she says. Moore suggests asking if the therapist’s approach is based on a similar religion or faith tradition to your own, finding out the therapist’s personal philosophies about long-term condition management via prescriptions, and inquiring about their privacy policy. You should also ask about how available your therapist will be to you and take that into consideration. “Very few individuals in private practice will invite you to call them 24/7; however, if you are seeing a therapist who works in a larger practice, it’s possible that they will offer some type of ‘on call’ schedule whereby you are able to reach someone else when needed,” Moore explains.

3. Remember your “why.” If you’ve been seeing a therapist for a condition that requires ongoing supervision, don’t bail at the first sign of trouble in your professional relationship. And don’t risk going without care by dropping your therapist cold turkey. Services like TalkSpace can offer a critical lifeline when you just need someone to help you feel okay, but the American Psychological Association points out that there are definite limits to how effective talk therapy can be when it doesn’t take place face-to-face. Write down what you think would work in your therapy relationships, whether you’re currently in one, seeking one out for the first time in a while, or approaching the idea of counseling for the very first time. Like any relationship, there will probably need to be some element of compromise, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a situation that doesn’t contribute to your mental wellness.

Apart from the occasional 1,000 yellow daisies, doesn’t it feel like it’s perpetually autumn and winter in Stars Hollow? Not that we’re complaining — we’re totally here for budget-friendly trends and the winter movie lineup. This time of year always makes us want to binge-watch our ride-or-die mother/daughter duo, even if we don't get Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life season 2. We all have our favorite episodes, favorite boyfriends, and favorite characters — which is why we thought it would be fun (and necessary, obvi) to match up the major Gilmore Girls characters to their zodiac counterparts. Go ahead, refill your coffee cup before you dig in. We’ll wait.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

Luke: Moody much? While you’re definitely not always as surly as Luke, Cancer, you do share his predilection toward unpredictable mood swings. It’s true — Luke has a tough outer shell just like you, and it takes a lot for him to make himself vulnerable to even his closest friends. You’re both sensitive souls with a nurturing streak a mile long. (How else could Luke take Jess back time and again?)

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22)

Ms. Patty: It’s your world, and we’re just living in it, Leo (er, and Ms. Patty). You’re a natural performer, and there’s no doubt Ms. Patty also knows how to own the stage. You’re both outgoing and creative with a flair for the dramatic, and we’re willing to wager you’d get along famously (while working hard to become famous, of course).

VIRGO (AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22)

Image via Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Emily: We think Emily is probably the most misunderstood character in Gilmore Girls, which we’re sure is something any Virgo can relate to. You’re both perfectionists who know how to throw a killer dinner party, with every last detail thoughtfully curated. You’ve got no time for inefficiency, and while you’re super-sensitive to criticism yourself, you can sometimes be a little judgy of others. But you both more than make up for it with your dedication to working for causes you believe in.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22)

Image via The CW/The WB/Gilmore Girls' Facebook

Richard: When it comes to family drama, Richard reigns as the perpetual peacekeeper. From Emily and Lorelai’s constant struggle to understand one another to Rory’s infamous boat incident, Richard has that diplomatic Libra spirit to solve a crisis. You’re both even-keeled, thoughtful people who can see both sides of any story. The Gilmores would be beyond lucky to have you!

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21)

Image via Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Jess: Within the Stars Hollow cosmos, there’s no one more intense than Jess — and the same goes for you, Scorpio. You’re both passionate, complex people who’ve come to appreciate your dark sides. Like you, Jess has incredible emotional depth that fuels a passionate heart. Plus, Jess’s mental/physical/emotional connection to Rory is exactly how you approach your own romantic relationships. Our lives would be so dull without you.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21)

Image via Neil Jacobs/Netflix

Lane: With a healthy dose of naiveté that everything’s going to be okay, Lane somehow managed to make her less-than-ideal upbringing totally work for her in the end. It’s this same unflappable optimism that guides you through life, Sag. You and Lane are resilient women who thrive on figuring it out with a smile on your face. You also both have a tendency toward obsessing over things you love, whether it’s obscure ’80s punk records or baking the perfect soufflé.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19)

Image via Neil Jacobs/Netflix

Paris: Honestly, can you think of anyone more Capricorn-y than Paris Gellar (except for you, of course)? Whether it’s her laser-like focus on future success or her incredible organizational capacities, Paris totally vibes with your serious commitment to reaching your goals (and constant need to prove yourself). You both crave stability in your life and loyalty from your friends and have put structures in place to ensure you get them, no matter where life takes you.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18)

Image via Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Lorelai: Emily may have underestimated Lorelai’s free spirit, but we know you totally have her ticket, Aquarius. Whether she’s raising a daughter on her own, going to graduate school, or starting a new business, Lorelai is forever independent, thinking outside the box to make her goals a reality. She’s also got a rebellious streak with an aversion to authority that sounds a lot like someone we both know. Plus, you’re both the kind of people who will say it like it is while still understanding that everyone walks their own path. Where you lead, we’ll totally follow.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20)

Image via Neil Jacobs/Netflix

Dean: Does anyone really know Dean? He’s got that poetic, head-in-the-clouds thing down pat, which sounds a lot like you, Pisces. You’re both dreamers who prefer poetry to playing sports and have a shared illusory quality that makes you a bit of a chameleon, transforming yourself based on your current circumstances. Remember when he just up and got married all of the sudden?! Who knew!

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

Image via Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Logan: Did you know the Life and Death Brigade’s motto, In Omnia Paratus, means “ready for anything”? Of course you did, Aries, because it’s your life’s motto as well. Just as Logan literally leaped into the unknown, you too know how to take major risks and somehow always make them pay off. You’re both independent, strong-willed, action-oriented people who prefer to live boldly, whether that means stealing a boat or running a newspaper (er, but we wouldn’t recommend the former).

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Image via The CW/The WB/Gilmore Girls' Facebook

Sookie: If you could live outdoors, you would, Taurus, precisely the same way Sookie would live in Jackson’s garden if she could. You’re both super-grounded and delight in sensory experiences that connect you back to the earth. Obviously, Sookie is an amazing chef, and you’re known as being the top foodie among your friend group. Life is all about the earthly pleasures for both of you, and you find peace at home, surrounded by creature comforts (and lots of cake).

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Image via Saeed Adyani/Netflix

Rory: You’re whip-smart with a mind that moves a mile a minute and an interest (and knowledge) in just about everything, Gemini — and that sounds a lot like our girl Rory. You’re both super-curious beings who derive genuine pleasure out of learning new things on the daily. If you could go to school forever, you’d be happy. And we’re pretty sure Rory would be sitting right beside you.

Get ready, starlights! It’s time to turn over a new leaf. Cosmically, the past few weeks have been a whirlwind, but we're finally stepping off March’s cosmic rollercoaster — hang in there!

The Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29 at 6:57 am EST marks the beginning of a new era filled with ambition and optimism. As land-locked as you may have felt these last few weeks, this lunation will stir up your confidence, fueling your drive to push forward. It is best to analyze and not go through your goals just yet. April 2025 is the month to begin setting intentions — wait for it. Any new ideas that surface now are worth noting — this eclipse initiates a new cycle worth considering these next six months. To learn more about what the cosmos has in store for you during this last solar eclipse in Aries, read on for your sun, moon, and rising sign's horoscope!

Daria Ponomareva

Solar Eclipses generally send out chaotic, unpredictable energy, making it an unstable time for setting intentions or calling things in. Instead, focus on reflection and evaluating your current processes. The best way to work with this energy is by observing what needs to shift, releasing attachments to outdated ambitions, and allowing space for what is to come.

To honor this eclipse, try a candle meditation, but remember that this is not for manifesting. Light a red or gold candle as a symbolic act of making peace with the past while igniting the inner fire that will propel you forward. As you focus on the flame, visualize shedding the weight of old cycles, embracing personal growth, and building clarity on what lies ahead. This practice will align you with the upcoming wave of ambition without the risk of rushing into impulsive decisions.

Jovan Vasiljević

This eclipse also signals a revelation period. Over the next six months, new information regarding your goals, ambitions, and direction will surface. Keep a journal or document what percolates your consciousness, and revisit it in late September 2025. What emerges now is worth holding onto, as it will embed in your subconscious, subtly guiding your success.

The most notable moment during this eclipse is its supportive sextile with Pluto, which provides an extra boost for transformation and openness to change. However, with Mercury retrograde in play, careful planning is essential. While this energy calls for forward movement, the retrograde influence urges you to be mindful of old habits or outdated goals that could resurface. Conscious awareness, focused determination, and attention to detail will ensure success.

Which signs will experience growth and opportunity during the Solar Eclipse?

Brit + Co

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Brit + Co

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

A fresh start in education, travel, or personal beliefs is within reach. You may feel the pull toward expanding your horizons, whether through a new study, an international opportunity, or a personal philosophy shift. This is an exciting time, but let ideas marinate before launching something new.

Brit + Co

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Shared resources, emotional depth, and financial matters are in focus. This eclipse encourages transformation in navigating intimacy, investments, or joint ventures. Be mindful of financial decisions or contracts during Mercury retrograde, ensuring everything aligns with your long-term security.

Brit + Co

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

A fresh start in work, wellness, and daily habits is on the horizon.

Brit + Co

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

Take your time before making major household decisions, as Mercury retrograde asks for careful planning.

Brit + Co

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Your confidence in communication is growing, and this eclipse opens new doors for sharing your voice. A new project, writing endeavor, or community connection may emerge, but with Mercury retrograde still in motion, be mindful of timing. Gather your thoughts and refine your message before making big announcements.

Brit + Co

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

This eclipse elevates your self-worth, finances, and overall security. A fresh start in money matters and personal value systems is in the works. However, with Mercury retrograde in the mix, avoid impulsive investments or major purchases—wait for more clarity before making financial commitments.

Approach This Solar Eclipse With Awareness

This Solar Eclipse marks a cosmic reset, offering the chance to understand your core priorities, ambition, transformation, and new possibilities. Instead of manifesting, focus on reflection, releasing the past, and preparing for what’s next.

New insights will emerge in the coming months, shedding light on your goals' direction.

By then, the pieces of the puzzle will be clearer, and your subconscious will have already laid the foundation for success.

Happiness is often something we think we'll gain down the road once we accomplish X, Y, and Z: a dream job, the perfect partner, a bigger salary, a bigger house. Yet things like fame, goods, success, and validation are the stuff of which the old conception of happiness was made. According to this way of thinking, once we reach one goal, it's time to set another one that will for sure make us happy... yet it never really does. Society has told us that achieving our own personal success will make us happy, but that’s actually a lie, says Stephanie Harrison, founder and creator of The New Happy.

Stephanie developed The New Happy philosophy during her graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where she received a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology. What is The New Happy? It comes down to setting compassionate goals rather than self-image goals in which you are trying to win or maintain other people’s approval. We chatted with Stephanie about this new outlook on life that has garnered more than 400K fans of her colorful, data-driven IG.


Why does happiness seem out of reach for so many?

Stephanie: I was fascinated to discover that so many of our beliefs about happiness do not come from within, but from the world around us. These beliefs have a profound impact on our actions and perceptions.

At The New Happy, our philosophy sets up a paradigm distinguishing between ‘Old Happy,’ the definition of happiness that you have been taught by the world around you, and ‘New Happy,’ a new science-backed approach to happiness that not only helps you but helps the world.

I think one of the core problems is that many of us don’t even know that we have a definition of happiness, let alone what it is and how it is affecting us. If we have a completely unrealistic definition of happiness, as Old Happy does, then it will always feel out of reach. In Old Happy, happiness is always one achievement away – it’s always the next one that will finally make you good enough, and then you can stop, take a break, spend time with your loved ones, and be the person you want to be. Starting to notice this pattern in ourselves is a really important way to begin shifting our perspective.

How have we been misinformed about happiness? How is that harming people?

Stephanie: The core belief underpinning the Old Happy paradigm is that you are not good enough as you are, and to remedy this, you must go out and achieve something in the world to become worthy. This belief creates tremendous pain. Feeling like we are only conditionally worthy puts us in a state of constant self-evaluation, judging how we are doing and how close we are to ‘enough’ – an exhausting experience that persistently drains our joy and vitality.

When I look at our collective well-being challenges, like burnout and loneliness, I see Old Happy all over it. We need to broaden our conversation about well-being and happiness to include societal influences, many of which have gone unacknowledged. If we have been taught by our world that happiness comes from achieving more, and that is reinforced by all of our systems, then we will prioritize individual success, and de-prioritize those critically important paths to happiness, like our connections, nature, and helping those in our community and the world around us.

My argument is that there is a far better way to find happiness: through being of service to the world using your authentic gifts. This is what I call your New Happy. To be happy, you need to feel useful. There are so many problems in our world that need help: they need your brain, your heart, your hands, your energy, your voice. There are people who are suffering, and they need exactly what you have to offer. In doing that, you will not only be able to help make our world a better place, but when you are expressing yourself authentically, you will also find purpose, feel frequent joy, and cultivate a stable, lasting sense of well-being. This approach to happiness is underpinned by a sense of compassion for all, a recognition that we are all connected and we need to care for the collective to be happy as individuals. It’s also hopeful: I believe that if we come together, we have what it takes to create a world where every person can experience happiness, just as they deserve.

Can you share some data points that support the New Happy philosophy?

Stephanie: One of the research topics supporting our philosophy is the idea of quieting your ego. This is the process of seeking a sustainable balance between yourself and others that leads to positive growth for all. It is related to personal outcomes like self-esteem and resilience, but also to the actions that you take in the world. Having a quiet ego is strongly connected to setting compassionate goals, which are goals where you are trying to contribute to other people’s well-being. These are contrasted with self-image goals, where you are trying to win or maintain other people’s approval – Old Happy goals. While self-image goals are associated with a decrease in self-esteem and connection, compassionate goals are associated with an increase in self-esteem and connection.

Another important element of our philosophy is the recognition of our interconnectedness. I think it’s really beautiful that the research shows this: When we care for others, we experience personal benefits; when we care for ourselves, we are inspired to and supported in caring for others. Giving increases your own positive emotions, sense of connectedness to others, and sense of meaning. One recent study found that behaving in a more selfless way is associated with greater happiness.

Turning to the research on caring for yourself, we can see the benefits, too. Extending compassion toward yourself predicts a reduction in depression, anxiety and stress symptoms as well as an increase in well-being. One study found that practicing self-affirmation increases feelings of self-compassion, which in turn motivates giving behavior. Every time you care for yourself, you’re supporting your ability to be there for others; every time you care for others, you’re also caring for yourself. It’s all connected.

Are there people who are just born happier, or can you learn to be happier?

Stephanie: There’s some debate about this, but many scholars believe that we have a general ‘happiness set-point,’ which is your base natural level of natural happiness. It is helpful to think of it more like a range, where you can boost yourself up to the top of it based on your daily actions. What you do does matter.

Happiness can be thought of as more than just the emotion that you feel when things go right. It’s about living a happy life, an existence that is aligned with who you are and what matters most to you.

One powerful reframe here is thinking of happiness not as an outcome, which is an Old Happy perspective, but as an action. When you are living your life, being authentically yourself and sharing that self in a way that has a positive benefit upon others, you experience happiness as a byproduct.

What are ways in which we can experience more joy in our lives?

Stephanie: Creating joy in our lives is such a priority. It is an emotion that not only benefits our own well-being, but also contributes to our relationships, our capacity to help and support others, and our resilience. Here are a few strategies.

First, help someone around you. There’s a reason that being of service is at the heart of our philosophy! There are so many studies that show the power of giving: It not only affects our happiness but impacts our physical health, too. It can positively impact your blood pressure, reduce your stress, and even extend your longevity. Do something small right now: Send someone a thank you text, let a loved one know how special they are to you, do a random act of kindness, share your expertise with someone, donate or advocate for a cause that needs you, engage in a warm conversation with a stranger, ask someone how they are doing and really listen. In the longer term, think about how you can use your gifts – the authentic actions that bring you joy – and offer them up to contribute to the world’s collective happiness.

Second, slow down, and look for something beautiful in the world around you. We miss a lot of the good, important stuff because we’re so focused on what we need to do. Decide you are going to look for the good: a wonderful quality in a loved one, something in nature, a moment of kindness. Once you see it, allow yourself to savor it and really soak it in. If you can, tell someone else about it to leverage the additional benefits of social connection. When you share with someone, you are able to extend the moment of goodness beyond the event itself, a ripple effect of joy that touches you and your relationship in a meaningful way.

Third, get outside into the world if it’s accessible for you. Our feelings of loneliness and disconnection are likely to increase when we are stuck inside our homes, as so many of us have been. One study found that spending just twenty minutes in nature lowers cortisol, your stress hormone, up to 20 percent! Nature is also the most reliable place to experience a sense of awe, which can inspire giving and compassionate behavior.

Finally, make joy a shared pursuit. Decide with your family or roommates or friends that you are going to consciously ‘joy-ify’ a regular activity, like making dinner, doing chores, or a regular routine. Ask yourselves, what would make me feel more connected to this activity, this moment, or the people we are sharing it with? There are so many creative ways you might do this. In one of our New Happy Challenges where we taught the skill of joy, participants came up with all sorts of wonderful ideas, including cooking recipes from around the world, doing an end-of-workday dance party, and sharing a moment of gratitude as a family at the end of every day.


How can we support our friends when they're feeling down?

Stephanie: As a society, we’re not very comfortable with pain, suffering, grief, and the difficulties of being a human. There’s so much pressure to appear happy and like you have it all together. No one has it all together, and everyone is going through something, and I think that collectively pretending that this isn’t true is very harmful for all of us.

If someone trusts you enough to open up to you about their pain, this is a powerful opportunity to nurture your connection, share micro-moments of love, and support them. I developed an acronym to help you to be there in these moments: FANAL, which is an old word for a lighthouse or beacon. I love this metaphor because it gives us an idea for how we can be for others: firmly grounded within ourselves, sharing a light that shines upon them and guides them to a safe, secure place.

Here’s how to use it:

  • F: Focus on the person. Give them your full attention and make this moment about them.
  • A: Ask how they are feeling. If they brush you aside or give a standard answer, you might need to gently ask a second time or in a different way to make it clear you really want to know how they are.
  • N: Notice their suffering. Many of us are afraid to look at pain, as though it is embarrassing or contagious. This leaves the person in pain feeling so lonely. Try to really see them and their pain.
  • A: Acknowledge their experience. This pain might be the most palpable thing in their lives right now. Honor that reality. Don’t deny it or try to change their perception of it. Tell them that you see what they are going through, and how painful it is.
  • L: Listen. Just keep listening, asking more questions to invite them to keep sharing. Stay with them until they are ready to change the topic.

This practice will help you to be there for them in a compassionate way.
