How to Find a Good Therapist
Consumers need to become better educated about the process of finding a Good Therapist. However the last thirty-five years as a therapist has taught me that a Good therapist is often about the fit. What research has demonstrated is that a Good therapist FIT is based on whether the consumer feels more comfortable with a man or a woman therapist. The race and or religion can play an important part in the fit. Also the socio-economic level of the therapist can sometimes play a part in the fit. Here is what I think is the most important factor that contributes to the very best fit and successful outcome of therapy, does the therapist engage in asking meaningful questions, offer unsolicited feedback, keep you honest, encourage being accountable for your behavior, and push you to become the person you truly want to be.
Thank you for listening.
