I think therapists that are older have more life experiance. But then again some may be stuck in the old methods of psycotherapy. Me personally I would rather have an older therapist. My former family doctor is 70 years old and I love him lol he's really smart and up to date on the medical stuff, but he was still old fashioned in the way he prcticed medicine. He sent out hand written Christmas cards. Call personally to check on you, and if you could'nt pay that day he would either see you for free or bill you in payments. And he always had samples in case you culdnt afford your meds.. I like that about the old docs.
