About Cultivate Therapy
The Two Secrets to Great Therapy
My name is Melissa Schneider, and I’m the founder of Cultivate Therapy. I’ve been in the field for almost 20 years and have met many good therapists.
Now, a good therapist can help you with many things. But I want to tell you two secrets about therapists:
First, every good therapist has just a few niches—those three or four issues we are passionate about. We went into the field to help with this stuff. These issues get the bulk of our attention—we read the research, geek out, and get extra training and certifications because we care so much about treating those problems. These are the therapy goals that energize us the most. They are our specialties.
Second, Ok, I’ll say it. Every good therapist has a few favorite types of clients. These are the people we most love to work with. We love you all, of course, but we have a special place in our hearts for some folks– recent college grads, high-conflict couples, new moms, or bicultural clients. We light up when we schedule a first session with those clients.
That’s the secret: we all have just a few specialties and favorite clients.
Does that sound like a recipe for an energized therapist doing what they’re best at? And a strategy for you to get the most growth in therapy?
We thought so too.
