There are many types of therapy and many excellent therapists. Feeling connected to your therapist and like they are a good fit for you is essential to treatment. Whether or not you see Dr. Matlock for therapy, she can provide guidance around what type of therapy is likely to be most helpful to you. If you have tried therapy before and not felt results, it is possible that you may need a different modality.
