So you’ve made the decision to start therapy. Congrats! The only thing is you need to find a therapist and hopefully they have openings and availability to accommodate you. I’ve been there, too. In a search for my own therapist a couple of years ago, I was in the same position. You may have already browsed a few profiles who have resonated with you and you are thinking about making a phone call or writing an email to ask about openings. As a therapist, I want to thank you for taking those first steps and reaching out to start the process. There are few tips I want to share with you with how to expedite this process.

Seasons change, that is the way the world works. But something happens to us when the cooler temps take over and the days get shorter. Our bodies naturally begin to slow down and we feel less motivated than we were in the summer. There also may be a change in your mood state, you may notice you feel more easily down or cranky. Most people will tell you they have an inclination to hibernate and feel less energetic in the cooler months. For some, the low mood will lead to a form of depression called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
