Looking for a therapist

Hello 7Cups community! 🙃👋

I tried to find a therapist on the app but so far, I didn't get a good match after trying three of them.

I have been advised to put an announcement directly in the forums to increase the odds to find a professional who could fit my therapeutic needs.

So here it is! I am going to list what type of approaches I found work best for me, discarding the reasons why I am seeking therapy, as I do not want to share my personal struggles publicly.

So, I am looking for a therapist who is trained in one or many of these areas:

- NVC (No Violent Communication)

- Empathetic / validating listening, meeting the person where it is at. No provocation (it really doesn't work for me, I do however crave for invitations to look at different perspectives and outlooks that would help me perceive my issues from brighter angles)

- CBT. I actually never tried it but would like to

- Polyvagal Theory

- Giftedness in adult

- Trauma healing or trauma informed, especially childhood trauma

- Willingness to learn and 'grow' with its client

I would like to emphasize that I am fairly 'mental health / therapy savvy' and have a rather wide area of knowledge in that field (I consume a lot of self-help and mental health educational contents). I am not starting from '0' but definitely need support to go through hard periods.

To give the 'tone' of the type of therapy I am looking for, here is one therapist I find very smoothing and inspired by: 'jeanpsychologist' on Inst A Gram.

Thank you
