All therapists are not equally effective and no therapist is equally effective with all types of clients. Research shows that the personal qualities of the therapist and therapist/client rapport are more important than the type of therapy employed.
Before choosing a therapist, you may interview several to find someone who makes you feel comfortable, inspires confidence, and seems to share your values. Feel free to ask about the therapist's-
- educational background and training
- length of time in practice
- theoretical orientation
- assessment of your problems
- views on specific issues
(such as marriage and divorce, sex roles, religion, homosexuality, etc.)
