I have a question, if you please.
When you look for a therapist, what specific questions do you recommend asking when you call to make that first appointment?
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
Re: **Jessimau**
I recommend asking first if they have any availability and what the general availability is (business hours, after hours, weekends, etc.). I also recommend asking their specialty/specialties and what their theoretical orientation is. You can ask about education, if it's something you're interested in.
To me, the biggest thing is the way the therapist handles the questions and responds to you. It's at least as important to me as what the answers are. Whether or not they explain, if they seem defensive, etc. I look at the conversation as an initial interview, which can give you some idea regarding personality fit.
If you call around and want to know what some things mean, I'm available for help interpreting.
Thanks.
I may take you up on that.
