And it is no wonder why clients are churning up the internet and FB trying to understand their T - when given the chance, so few are willing to put some substantial info on the table.
I think you are running into the situation that the T wants to be the best T for any possible issue or concern. Buy me, I'm great for all that ails you! Uber T!

I recently had to select a psychologist for my son. The insurance gave me 4 names of people who practiced in the next town over. Two were in the same practice, married. I searched on all of them. I called two - one male and the female of the married couple. The female described how she worked, and what a typical approach might be for a plan for my son - but she'd make no commitment until she could evaluate him. The male sounded great as a therapist but would not do an evaluation. So, we are using the female.

Then I had to pick for me - choice of three in my plan. Again, see what the internet has to offer. I picked the one who'd worked at a women's center, and who described herself as focused on relationships and family. I had to use some criteria.....but the thing I want to know is if we are a good fit, and I can only find that out by showing up.

Now that I've met her, I'm still not sure if we are a good fit. I've told her what I expect from a therapist. She's doing things differently than original T; I miss his way intensely.

In a way, having few choices makes it easier for me. If I were going to pay out of pocket, then I could pick anyone from 100 within 10 miles. And it would be impossible.
