Finding the right therapist in Rhode Island is complicated.

Here’s what to look for in your Rhode Island therapist

Rhode Island is a small state.

It can be intimidating to begin the search for a therapist, and support system who aren’t also your neighbors, or old high school acquaintances.

I usually suggest starting your search with platforms like Psychology Today and Zen Care.

You can also search by areas of specialty in Rhode Island, such as Trauma, Eating disorders or marriage counseling.

Keep in mind that mental health pros are not always the best at “promoting” themselves, and their web presence may be minimal.

If you’ve already done these searches and are still lost, just ask a Rhode Island Therapist. If they can’t work with you or aren’t the right fit, they might know someone who is. After all, it’s RI.
