Look also at the therapist’s credentials and experience. You may have specific needs, for example you may want a male or female therapist, or someone who specializes in treating children. You may be looking for someone who does primarily relationship work. You may have concerns about spiritual beliefs. Deciding what you need before you call can help you make an informed choice.
If you choose to come see me, think of our first appointment as a testing ground. Trust your gut after our first session. You should feel like I listened well and had a good sense of your reasons for coming.
