The ratio is much lower than the national average and well below the national minimum threshold for patient-to-therapist ratios.

Challenges of Finding a Therapist in Naperville

Though there are hundreds of mental health professionals easily found online, many of them have social reviews attached to their profiles, making them all seem like the ideal choice. Review sites such as Google Pages Pages, Yelp and the like all offer social reviews based on a previous patient’s experience making it hard to decide which one is right for you and your condition.

Medical providers, health insurance companies, and local clinics all offer referrals.

All of this is done before you get a chance to meet the person you’ll be working with to see if they are a good match.
