What kind of Ts are those?

My T has a Master's in Psychology. I think he is really good--at least he has been for me. Part of that is him, and part is his training (and part of our success is our fit). His training is more specific to the program he graduated from rather than the degree he was granted. (I know 2 other Ts from his program and like them too.) Every program has a different flavor and emphasis. One university's clinical psychology PhD program, for example, could have a really different emphasis than another's. If you can find a training program that you philosophically align with, then you might be able to find a T with at least some of what you are looking for by choosing a grad from that program.
