We Think We Know What We Need with Dr. Allison Chabot
#### Today\u2019s topic is\u2026therapy! If that makes you a little bit nervous, you\u2019re not alone: lots of us feel a bit scared to talk about our mental health\u2014much less make an appointment to get help.\n\nPlus, navigating the mental health system can be challenging: How do you find a therapist? How do you pay for it? How do you know if they\u2019re a good fit? And what happens if you need to break up with them? We have _so many_ questions.\n\nTo help us answer them, we called up none other than Katel\u2019s own therapist, Dr. Allison Chabot. She\u2019s a clinical psychologist working in Philadelphia, and talking with her gave us all the best feels.\n\n> Ask your friends. Ask your family. Somebody else has gone to therapy that you know. So many people go to therapy. And you hear positive experiences from people: you hear how it unlocked something, it opened something, it helped them look at themselves in a different way. It is a leap of faith, it really does take courage, but I feel like, what do you have to lose?\n> \n> \u2014 Dr. Allison Chabot\n\nLinks from this episode:\n\n- Meditation app [Headspace](https://www.headspace.com/)\n- Sliding-scale therapists at the [Philadelphia Society for Clinical Psychologists](http://philadelphiapsychology.org/)\n- [Psychology Today therapist finder](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us)\n\nAlso in this episode: Jenn goes to a meditation workshop and fucking hates it, Katel shouts her love for therapy from the rooftop, Sara plans her summer lipstick game, and we all get hyped for a #summerofselfies.\n\n## Sponsors\n\nThis episode of NYG is brought to you by:\n\n\n\n_[Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/careers), a leading global commerce platform that\u2019s building a world-class team to define the future of entrepreneurship.
