Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Finding the right therapist is like shopping for shoes - it needs to be a good fit, and it needs to be the right shoe for the particular job. If you intend to go hiking you will not shop for dress shoes. The same is true when looking for a therapist. Make sure the person in well qualified, experienced and skilled in the issues that you want to work on. The only way to know for sure if a therapist is a good fit for you is face-to-face time. Your therapist may be one of the most important, life-changing relationships that you will have. It is therefore important that you feel you can trust and open up in therapy.
