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.
What has been your experience? Talk to me.
