Although a therapist’s credentials are important, I believe one of the most important considerations in selecting a therapist is to find someone you feel comfortable talking with. You can’t be open and share with someone that you don’t have a good “feeling” about.
Research concludes that “the therapeutic alliance is more critical than the techniques a therapist employs or the drugs that may be prescribed.” In other words, what seems to count most is the nature of the therapeutic relationship. I provide a free initial consultation, either in person or over the phone, to help you with your decision.
