Choose the Right Therapist: A Guide to Finding the Support You Need

Finding the right therapist isn’t just about credentials — it’s about connection, understanding your needs, and choosing someone who truly “gets” your world. Whether you’re exploring intimacy, navigating ADHD in a relationship, working through emotional overwhelm, or simply seeking a space to grow, the right therapist can transform your life. This guide will help you choose the therapist who best fits your goals, your identity, and your neurotype.

What We Mean by “Therapy”

Because connection isn’t one-size-fits-all. At My Therapy Connect, therapy meets neuroscience, sexuality, and real human connection. Whether you're navigating ADHD, exploring intimacy, or healing your relationship, you'll find a space that celebrates your neurodiversity, curiosity, and emotional growth.

1. Identify What You Want Support With

Every therapist brings a different focus. Start by asking yourself:

Am I struggling with intimacy or sexual health?
Do I need help with communication or conflict in my relationship?
Am I facing emotional dysregulation or ADHD-related challenges?
Do I want neurodivergent-affirming, identity-safe support?

2. Understand the Different Types of Therapists

*Sex Therapist / Sexologist

If you're dealing with desire, orgasm issues, painful sex, identity questions, porn use, or intimacy challenges — a sexologist offers science-based, shame-free support.

*Relationship / Couples Therapist

Ideal for communication issues, intimacy concerns, emotional distance, and ADHD/neurodivergent patterns in relationships.

*ADHD / Neurodivergent-Informed Therapist

Perfect for adults facing emotional regulation challenges, executive dysfunction, sensory overload, or relationship struggles influenced by ADHD or autism.

*General Talk Therapist / Counsellor

Supportive, talk-based therapy for stress, overwhelm, identity work, and emotional wellness.

3. Choose a Therapist Based on Their Approach

*Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Structured and practical — great for ADHD, anxiety, and emotional patterns.

*Sexology-Integrated Therapy

Blends psychology, body awareness, neurobiology, and sexual health science.

*Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy

Validates your wiring, supports emotional regulation, and respects sensory needs.

*Relationship & Couples Therapy

Focuses on communication, attachment, repair, and intimacy-building.

4. Choose Identity-Affirming Care

Your therapist should honour your identity, culture, sexuality, and neurotype. Look for someone explicit about supporting:

Neurodivergent adults (ADHD/autistic)
LGBTQIA+ identities
Kink/BDSM or poly-friendly clients
Culturally inclusive care

5. Decide if You Want Online or In-Person Therapy

Online therapy is ideal for neurodivergent adults needing stability, predictability, sensory safety, and flexibility. It’s also perfect if you need access to specialists outside your city or country.

6. Book a Free Intro Call

Most therapists (including myself) offer a short introductory call. This helps you decide if the therapist feels safe, knowledgeable, and aligned with your needs.

You're interviewing them, too.

7. Trust Your Gut

Therapy is relational. If you feel relief, curiosity, or comfort after your first call, you're likely with the right therapist. If not, it's absolutely okay to try someone else until it fits.
