The therapeutic alliance matters — if you don't click in 2-3 sessions, switching is often better than persevering. Quality therapists acknowledge this rather than push commitment. For matching: specialty (CBT, EMDR for trauma, psychodynamic), gender preference if relevant, and initial phone consultation to gauge fit before booking extended work.
No. Crystal healing, reiki, "energy work" as primary mental health treatment lack research support. They can complement evidence-based therapy for relaxation but shouldn't replace it. Providers marketing these as primary treatment for depression, anxiety, or trauma are pushing unsupported interventions.
Most major insurers (AIA, Great Eastern, Prudential, NTUC Income, FWD) now include mental health coverage, typically with annual caps (S\$1,500-5,000). Coverage usually requires in-network therapists — check the provider list with your insurer. Pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods typically apply.
