What kinds of Life Transitions do therapists help with?

Question 6

What happens to therapy if I move to another state?

Accepted Answer

Planning a move is stressful enough without wondering what happens to your care. A therapist licensed only in Missouri can see you virtually only while you are in Missouri.

Question 10

Can I switch therapists if it does not feel right?
