Questions for Therapists:
Here are a few questions wise consumers should ask of any therapist before choosing and that any qualified therapist should be happy to answer:
1. After offering them a brief description of your counseling need, ask: "What is your training and experience in helping people with needs like mine?
2. "Is this an area of passion and specialty for you?"
3. "Briefly, what would your treatment approach be to helping me with this?" (that is, behavioral, cognitive, EMDR, other "modalities") 4. If spirituality is a central issue to you, you'll want to be sure there's a fit between you and the therapist so be clear in explaining your faith orientation and ask him about how he integrates faith into his therapy work.
5. "What are your credentials (education, licensure, affiliations with professional organizations)?
6. "What are your fees and do insurances cover your services?"
In talking with a therapist, you are looking for three things from and beyond these questions:
The person's attitude: willingness to cooperate, answer your questions, humility, degree of caring, etc.
Ability and competence to be effective in helping you
Your sense of "fit" with the clinician as a person. That is, how comfortable you would be working with him.
