Choosing a Therapist

When choosing a therapist, look for someone with credentials, who is well trained, is an experienced practitioner and who has a credible reputation.

Ask for a brief interview with the practitioner. Most credible therapists welcome an introductory interview.

Ask questions such as:

What are the therapist's qualifications and training?

Which organizations do they belong to?

How long have they been in practice?

How much do they charge?

How do they approach confidentiality?

Are they available after hours?

How soon is an appointment available?
