Question 5

What should I be looking for in a therapist?

Accepted Answer

There are lots of great therapists who are doing all types of therapy. One of the successful key factors in therapy is the therapeutic relationship that develops between the therapist and the client.
 
Having said that, therapy should feel good and you should experience a trusting relationship with your therapist, truly, you should find a therapist who is a "good fit".
 
It is always better to start with an initial consultation call and ask questions like: Do you have there experience dealing with people with your area of concern?
 
If you feel good about the initial call, go ahead, and book your first session. You will need to pay for the first session, but it will be money well spent if you decide that this therapist is not for you. Always follow your gut instinct and although your family or friends may have benefited from their therapist, it does not have to mean that this therapist is "your good fit" therapist.
