Hello everyone. I'm curious to know what everyone expects out of a therapist. What are good qualities? How long does it take to feel right with someone? How do you know if they care? Any other questions?

I have only seen one therapist and I'm not really sure how this is all supposed to work. I had to go to a mental health review for a medical case and the lady that I saw was so nice and seemed so knowledgeable... Like I'd benefit so much with her and I ended up wishing I could see her instead. Before, I thought my therapist was great, but now I realize she is only sub par compared to this other woman.
