How To Find A Good Therapist

 This question comes up now and then so I thought I would address that question here- how can I find a good therapist?

1. Get references from trusted friends who have had good results and experiences with their therapist. What do I mean by good results? Read on!

2. Ease of discerning their fees via a web site or other means.

3. Does their web site convey their style of counseling? Is it inviting?

4. When requesting contact or an appointment is it an easy experience?

5. On first meeting, do you feel at ease with the counselor? 

6. Does the counselor ask relevant questions and seem interested in you and your issues?

7. When you left the first meeting, do you feel hopeful that this can be a good match and that good work can be done with them?

If you answered no to any of the above, you might want to try seeking another therapist.

THREE YEARS OF NOT BLOGGING- WHY?

I guess that I stopped blogging because no one reads them. Maybe if I did write something maybe someone would read it? Or maybe I felt that whatever I had to say I would say in our counseling sessions so why spend my time and efforts here? Or maybe I think blogging is dumb. That's more like it. Who cares? Maybe if I care then that's enough? Nah. I don't care. So that's why I haven't paid attention to this page or to the videos page either. I just don't care about things outside of sessions so I will just leave it at that. If anyone cares or thinks differently, let me know. Or not.
